Belmore has always been for the Bulldogs. When they moved to Homebush, they had Belmore developed into their Headquarters and training venue.

Yea it’s used feel more like a state owned local facility Ala Leichhardt and kogarah but it’s been increasingly feeling like property of the bulldogs as the years go by

My understanding from my family supporters there is that they lost faith in the club after the financial issues came to light few years back.. since then the handling has been viewed as conspicuous from Hanlin also who they dont believe in, coupled with the haliti divide which i didnt quite understand fully as to the reasons for it.. but put simply the 'saving white knight' hasnt been as 'saving' as he shouldve!

As I say, I wish them and all the clubs well, hopefully they can turn it around. It can be done. Re my point that Olympic as a Greek Australian club fall somewhere in between Heidelberg and South Melb; I know for a fact there was a time not that long ago when Heidelberg weren’t paying players, their facilities were falling apart, and they looked gone for all money in npl 2, but look at them now.

Sadly, this has only become common in the past 20 or so years.

Im dreading the Championship leading down the path of summer football as the norm... Call me a crusty old man if you will but football is a winter sport for me, always will be. Id rather watch with a beanie and a scarf with 20 other blokes in the terraces than in shorts, sweating my balls off to watch a snooze fest with thousands of other "fans".

Yeah mate, we've had some pretty rough times too, crowds ALWAYS turn up for a big event, this is/was their biggest game of the year at home... no excuses for me.

Lock it in. Marconi v south Melbourne final at the Marconi club ;) what an occasion that would be with the numbers of away fans south would likely bring to the palace

This would, in all honesty make me cry my eyes out.... I have a family commitment on the day of the final, in Melbourne but would catch a flight immediately after to make it in time. How far is the Palace from the Airport and could I get an express pick up from someone :).....

Just picture me, in my Hellas top, balling my eyes out watching little girls twirl around in some suburban theatre to classical music and all the other mum's going "aw isn't that sweet, that dad is getting emotional seeing his daughter". and my wife nudging me in the ribs going "Skase, you're here now, bad luck". hahahahahahahaha

We both know why your bringing me memories if this, and the episode they had hidden tvs everywhere to watch the final... God help the 'posh' if South Scores though I see you hitting higher notes that Andrea Bocelli in Con Te Partiro and on the news for first flare at the classical music....🤣🤣🤣

Glenardo, when was the last time you went to Belomore ?
Not even a season or 2 back we went to watch them play suthos mancity coloured blue SFC.
Whole grandstand was pretty full - they had bouzuki brilliant music player live in the stand, have experienced this a few times over the years, thats all they needed to do at ko gar rah.
The souv was cooking away pre game it was full on, good ques - have to say a rare occassion at Belmore for lets face it they have been DROSS generally for years and as mentioned their previous Prez and management fucked up the place even further down the slope, its been going down for down for ages, they have been a shadow of the great ol days. It proved they not turning out the last game against one of their own from mel bon.
Belmore has always been Bulldogs stad - only those golden days was it working for them, last 20yrs been massive downhill.
Donkeys as mentioned, instead of all the management rorting and screwing up working for the club they should have re located decade back easy. I said cut their loss's - they are minnow greek/aussie club but as mentioned they do have better trophy record than marconi since NPL 2013.
APIA trophy wise kicks both your butts - I'm calling it now, IF its a Palace final yer you'll get a good crowd, IF its in melb its no big deal for you've under performed for years as well :) though I'd certainly back you guys against
Them the facts.
Mono - IF its a APIA Sydney game and I'm in town I'll arrange a police escort hahaha
