I predict a decent turn out against the Bergers on Sunday and also if we get an A-League opponent for the FFA cup next round... Surely not all of this support now follows the ethnically inclusive clubs???<br /><br />Personally the years I spent away from Hellas weren't spent with the A-League I just stopped going... Maybe we wont get the mass hordes back but surely we will draw some back into the fold.<br /><br />Just my 2 cents - Paul this space is extremely therapeutic BTW :o)Kimon Trimbolinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503414687298565438.post-79481935182559496362017-06-06T07:29:11.903+10:002017-06-06T07:29:11.903+10:00I'm not really sure what to comment here, and ...I'm not really sure what to comment here, and what there is to discuss, but I appreciate your effort to share these experiences and feelings here.<br />Hope you continue to find this space (and your twitter) more therapeutic than frustrating.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503414687298565438.post-62916323950569518342017-06-05T17:28:27.493+10:002017-06-05T17:28:27.493+10:00I'm not talking here about people who have mov...I'm not talking here about people who have moved on to the A-League, but rather those who haven't, but who don't actually come to South games either.<br /><br />I and I assume most South fans are under no illusions that those types will come back in any meaningful numbers in our current situation, except for perhaps a one-off FFA Cup marquee event.<br /><br />As for whether they would come back in the figurative and fanciful scenario that South were included in the A-League, that is another discussion entirely.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03206486881622385464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503414687298565438.post-50345652918122750462017-06-05T17:01:15.148+10:002017-06-05T17:01:15.148+10:00I think what people and SMFC board are getting wro...I think what people and SMFC board are getting wrong is that the there is this mythical band of 'latent supporters'. The latent supporters have moved on. The latent supporters have jumped onto the A league express and are now emotionally invested in those clubs, they too have gone on to have children who now know nothing other than a league - their children do not even know what an NSL is. We need to forget about our mythical tribes and focus on consolidating our current small support base and then incrementally build on that. QEDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
