Chanting over the top of the national anthem, breaking seats, throwing flares

Yesssss soccers iz back for sure eh cuz, we iz bigga n sicka than crickets

 AFL could use some

South are circling like vultures at the moment. Made bids for the mariners and the heart in the last 6 weeks alone. eventually someone will fall or the FFA will just say to say hand over the license fee which SMFC are happy to pay. Lowy and the FFA now accept SMFC as a viable proposition and I expect SMFC will be back in the national competition sooner rather than later.

[Judge Roughneck]

Should have been done 7-8-9 years ago.

PEople need to get over the wog-hate.

Look at West Sydney. Passion.

[Rampstar]

for me the first derby between South Melbourne and Melbourne Victory will be the greatest derby in the history of Australian Soccer. The most successful team in Australian Soccer history against the team who took over as the mantle of the Biggest club in Australian Soccer. Its a great derby. What we got now between Victory and Heart is a meaningless farce. No one gives a poo because Victory produces 90% of the crowds.

So if SMFC enter they A-League you'll support it? The very same competition you've ridiculed for the last; what? 5 odd years?

And if they don't?

The ridicule continues right?

Yes that is correct. SMFC is the most successful club in Australian Soccer History and there introduction would provide your competition with a level of credibility that it has never had.

Its not right to develop a national league devoid of promotion opportunities for establish clubs with long history's without a hope of reaching the top flight.

I support MVC but my heart goes out to those football fans screwed by the FFA the last decade

Well it looks like you will have to continue with the ridicule and dreaming of the past glories of the SMFC, their offer has been rejected by Melb Heart 9was on the wireless this morning) (no great surprise btw)

Wanderers was a new club started from scratch though; not the rebirth or promotion of one of the old NSL clubs from the mid-table of the local state league. West Sydney represents a geographical area that already had a strong soccer following but that didn't/doesn't connect with the Sydney CBD and hence Sydney FC. It was a no brainer for the FFA to dump Gold Coast and North Queensland and replace them with the Wanderers.

Rumour has it that they are down almost 10 million and wanted South to pay the debt or take it over. South said no thanks  . In the end, it doesnt matter, eventually a club will fall to financial difficulty or b) and the most likely scenario is that the FFA needing cash will contact South and just sell them the license for $3.5 million-$4.0 million. The FFA is full of businessmen, they are not gonna sit by and watch $3.5 million to $4  million just go by the wayside. Odds on they will take the money for the game, South will get in as Melbournes 3rd team and Heart will be even more irrelevant than they are now. South is almost in a no lose position. Cash, a cheap to use stadium, the best junior development program in the country. Its not a matter of if ... its just a matter of when.

This is the third time South Melbourne have failed to try to get into the A-league. The new TV deal will pay for the each club's total playing list so all 10 A-league clubs will be financially better off next season onwards. The FFA could sell the Wanderers for a tidy sum at the minute if they were in need of cash.

just a matter of time now thats all
