Yes let's reintroduce clubs based on ethnic identity to the national competition - good idea, won't be divisive, alienating and inflammatory at all. Worked so well in the old league.
perth = predominantly english fans (i would argue no less than what south is greek)
adelaide united = adelaide city = primarily followed by people of Italian heritage
north queensland / GC = failed
sheepshaggers = sheepshaggers (ie. clubs based on ethnic identity)
queensland = original operators of the Brisbane Roar can trace their history back to the founding in 1957 of the Hollandia-Inala Soccer Club by Dutch immigrants and was based in the Brisbane suburbs of Richlands. After adopting the name Brisbane Lions in the 1970s, the club competed in the defunct National Soccer League from 1977 until the end of the 1988 season before reverting down to the Brisbane Premier League thereafter. The club changed their name to Queensland Lions after coming to an agreement with the Brisbane Lions AFL club in the 1990s
heart = mostly croats i reckon, could be wrong on this one
victory = heaps of italians but multicultural
west sydney = excellent support due to NSL history
ccm / newcastle = bogans
sydney too. almost forgot them, as they are forgettable. shyte city without a club with ethnic backing. without a dwight yorke or ADP in a rich vein of form next to no fans.
You see, clubs based on ethnic identity to the national competition is not that far away from the realty we currently have masquerading behind the current A-League franchises. The like of South Melbourne are not 100% supported by Greek people. There is several people who are non-Greek and live in the area, or non-Greek general football fans that support South for being a good side in the NSL, making club world cups etc.
Similar Richmond Eagles fans are not all German.
Anyway. Imports clear for the league to prosper there must be 2-3-4 divisions. The question is where do you find these additional dozens of clubs for the following decades/ do we continue to create so less franchise?
You're clutching at some straws there. No current A-League team has an onfield ethnic identity. "wogs" were ruining the game and holding it back and the "wogs" who ran the game acknowleged this themselves and with the help of a very rich Jewish businessman established the A-League for that reason. Bringing ethnic badged clubs back in the National League would be a massive step backwards - it would alienate not just anglos but anyone who wasn't Greek, Italian or from The Balkans. Why would anyone else want to go and reenact 1000 year old poo fights and blood fueds that have nothing to do with them or this country? Because that's was used to happen on a regular basis and would again, despite what anglo-hating professional ethnic apologists like Les Murray & co. would have everyone believe. Grew up with Massos & Greeks, saw a lot of it first hand.
...and the Dutch community hardly count- they're not vociferously nationalistic, are a Germanic people like anglo-saxons, don't have any real fierce rivals nor are they significant in number out here like the Southern Europeans are.
Have u been to say the north end? Do u realise it is wogs
I am clutching straw? Are you proposing Adelaide united have no affiliation with the Italian Adelaide city? Its like calling footscray western bulldogs. Rebranding... same club.
Don't worry heaps of Anglos go to the a league
Racist power tripping 'riot squad' and anti terrorist private companies hatamoto
Let's be honest. Anglos has got fa all idea. If more than 20 people sign in unison the predominantly Anglo authority poo them self and declare unsociable behavior.
If 200 inbred Frakston Neanderthal get kicked out of bay 13 its just another well behavior Aussies having a laugh. 4 blokes get kicked out of a league for say having a smoke in an open air terrace its end of world. Hearld sun field day
I quite enjoyed your argument about people of Germanic background not being nationalist. I s
I hope we are going to ban the Australian open. any racial tensions there?
To again answer your question - the answer is so football can prosper as it should and take rightful place as the countries top sport. For this we need a multi-division, promotion / relegation structure. And a functioning fa cup equivalent. poo hole clubs like Moe getting the chance to defeat a Perth. Form example. The true romance of the beautiful game.
How to we achieve what must be an obvious end goal? Do we make 100s more plastic teams? Or we use the clubs, 1000s of football clubs in Australia some that have been around 100 years?
I reckon if the vpl clubs got Essen Don legal people they could sue the shyte on the ground of unfair discrimination. So much natural justice Burnside would cream himself
Much of association football is great due to rivalry. Ranger/Celtic Sectarianism__Glasgow. Madrid/barca Spanish civil war. I can't see why Anglo fairy's can't handle this in sport.
Look at south america. The game is so passionate due to cultural political inter plays
