I'm pretty sure that four hour research is more research then you have ever put into any 'claims' you have made on here Didn't I call you a racist? Wrong Didn't you say wsw weren't going to be a success? Wrong Maybe if you put some research into what you say instead of constantly giving your Ill-informed opinion we could have a constructive debate on here instead of restoring to a slandering match between us?

Almost a pass. Yes, it's derived from Spion Kop, but the story I have is that it was so-called because the steep single-tier terraces and stands used for spectators at football grounds reminded the commentator of the profile of the hill where the battle took place. But unfortunately the word was first used to describe the 1904 stand at the Manor Ground, Plumstead, South London, home of Woolwich Arsenal. Of course Liverpool is the famous one. Given that we won last night I'm in generous mood, so I think worthy of the green line! Edited October 28, 2016 by jw1739 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that TV audiences want to look at rows and rows of empty seats, whatever the structure of the competition or the quality of the football. Pretty insightful interview, he seems like a much better person to have in charge than de Bohun at the very least anyway. I interpreted his comment on increasing TV and telco viewership as more of an accessibility thing rather than their strategic direction, the A-League's still very much in its infancy and still has a lot of work to do to fully establish itself in the crowded Australian sporting market. I really liked his comment regarding expansion because unlike Gallop, he hasn't completely disregarded regional areas (e.g. Wollongong, Canberra, Tasmania) but has still challenged them to present really outstanding proposals so we don't get a North Queensland/Gold Coast repeat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that the 2 major backers are both former Victory shareholders it makes it a lot less desirable to me! They tried to buy south Melbourne In the NSL days and were told to get lost. I'm more recent years one of the 2 had plans to take control of the clubs juniors and take them to victory to create victory juniors. Which would have been a scum move. they have heaps of money though so that won't be an issue, not a fan of either of them though and questionable whether they would be in it for the long haul. Apparently stamoulis owns one of melbournes 2 major Greek newspapers, one of the reasons we couldn't gain traction with the Greek community was that apparently his newspaper would deny our existence, just pages and pages of victory stuff according to a mate of mine. When we would beat them in derbies he would put the score in a little paragraph tucked away in the middle pages lol. When victory would win they would get multi page spreads. wonder what his rag will look like if he gets Tasmania over the line lol.

I guess they are thinking 2 teams might give them more traction and succeed commercially where 1 team had struggled? Certainly Auckland is where the people are.

Insufficient support on all fronts to make the venture viable in the longer term. It's not just a matter of plonking an franchise down somewhere and expecting it to be successful - I would have thought FFA would have learned that lesson by now. Problem is that FFA and Gallop flip-flop on this issue on a regular basis. IIRC the latest I've seen from him was that any expansion needed to be focussed on centres with at least 1m population. Tassie just doesn't qualify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
