Bill Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 I'd go with Southern Stars if I was you dRoylol I played a season (u/18) for them last year "bunch of crazy Turks IMO" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadete Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Danke. The blue and white stripes of Northcote were a bit of a turn off as well. Why? Because the Blue reminds of Schalke? Dandy Thunder, Southern Stars (Dingley), Oakleigh Cannons & Bentleigh would be your closest bets. Dandy - Will provide a team that can win as the supporters give a lot to the their club, but a somewhat hostile environment, but just make it known you are supporting Dandy and you will be ignored rather than abused. Southern Stars – TBH don’t expect more than one season of VPL league from what I have heard a lot of the players in their promoted side have left and there is a lack of replacements. Oakleigh – Probably will be a competitive side to watch albeit the have lost Pappas, but their new coach is well regarded. There are rumours that there may have been a player fallout however. If you do support Oakleigh expect a “Douche Bag Tween Supporter Group” being present at early games and perhaps some further choking. Bentleigh – It was massive surprise to me that they stayed up last year and will probably be contesting for relegation again. A particularly annoying MV group was also associated to the club last year before they gave up and stop going. Meanwhile fucken annoyed Green Gully poached Osagie of Bergers, loved that guy: A Nigerian with crazy celebrations will be lost on the 5 people watching Gully in Keilor. GG the Pokies sponsored Buzz Kill of VPL Football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodebec Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Why? Because the Blue reminds of Schalke? No, I grew up in Sydney and hated the Bulldogs in the NRL. Blue and white team colours always irk me as a result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I will try to find out if he played on Saturday and if he did well – The Stupid game clashed with ours (If it was on Sunday I could of gone ) Last time I looked all the convo was just on the poor keeping - apparently the worst in years... and I saw some very bad displays last season.

Tesla Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Having lifted the Macedonian Cup last weekend, Altona Magic look set for a big season. Friendly tomorrow at Noble Park to celebrate Noble Parks's 20 year anniversary. Not sure if they have a home friendly before the season starts, Polluted Water Boys are eager to get down for some state league action. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went and saw Bergers play there last Pre Season against South Springvale (SL2) yesterday. Bergers won 3 to 1 and had an ok second half however the first half was yet another indication of prob a hard year to come... It's good to have these talented kids but the side needs to some more stronger older bodies for the VPL season proper IMO.

JVR04 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 got a South Melbourne membership last season (it was free) got a letter to renew it thought why not might end up going to a few games this season, I went to a couple of Richmond and Bentleigh games last season. But wanting to stay pretty loyal to South should be good with Lakeside and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danepak Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Have any of you Richmond SC followers got a German connection? Although my Granddad is German (never met him), I certainly don't feel German and I almost feel guilty following them, without a proper German connection. (or should I just take a chill pill?)

Although my Granddad is German (never met him), I certainly don't feel German and I almost feel guilty following them, without a proper German connection. (or should I just take a chill pill?) Sorry but I could not laugh a little at this... The only Germans involved with the club are at basically Committee level, so you will find at games that the Non Germans outweigh the Germans 9 to 1. When some of us caught a few games down there last year, everybody was really welcoming and just appreciative of getting some people though the gate and to buy some food at the Canteen. Since being in the VPL Richmond has a history of been supported by Anglos who want a VPL side to follow and they are fine with this as well. A good example is their used to be a Victory Supporter Group that went to games before they started their own club Trojan Athletic. You basically find it’s the same deal even at the more Ethnic Clubs in VPL in that they are just grateful of the business. The Greek Clubs really could not care less about Anglos and they make up the majority of the league, South is well known for still having a Anglo supporter from its NSL heyday for example. At Bergers everyone has been friendly enough, you are either spoken to sometimes or simply left alone because you can’t speak Greek (lol). The only real club I would be hesitant of having worries about would be Melbourne Knights and perhaps Dandenong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only real club I would be hesitant of having worries about would be Melbourne Knights and perhaps Dandenong. You're perfectly right to laugh at my message. I felt that I had to ask the question somewhere and this seemed to be the right place. I wasn't aware of this (only board level are Germans). Every time I've gone to the games, it seemed to me that there was about 20 people cheering for Richmond (all of them Germans) and then the rest of the crowd was made up of away supporters. I know one of the Germans. A very friendly and welcoming old fella, who also encourages me to go to the games. Still, I always felt like I was the only non-German, cheering for Richmond (especially going to the away games). Anyway, got an English mate (Charlton supporter as well), who's keen on going to the games and especially after your message, it should encourage him even more.

cadete Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Of course there are the Board Members’ family and a few others from the German Tivoli club: But Richmond are known as the Anglo friendly club. And your right about opposition fans, unless its GG or Hume in town then there are almost always more opposition fans down there on a Saturday.

Good! The prick stole my car park down at KB reserve last year. Had to go and do something for the (footy) club, so put a big witches hat in the parking space, was gone for 5 minutes max and by the time I got back he had moved the witches hat and parked there! Then tries to tell me he didn't do it! Scum bag wasn't even selling nuts at the footy, but at the 'soccer' so no idea why he parked there anyway! Screw you nut man! Screw you!
