It looks like this season we have a really good opportunity to build a strong foundation for all NSW based A-League clubs that will make us a power base for football in the A-League. Melbourne Victory has a lot of competitive advantages that other clubs don't have but we don't really seem to focus on the advantages we have.
Each club has a point of connection.
We have our derby with Central Coast, as do the two Sydney teams. WSW has Lyall Gorman and a host of former Jets players. Sydney has Del Piero and are likely to follow him wherever he goes.
Given that we play each of these teams 3 times, focussing on motivating away supporters to travel to other NSW games will increase the revenue of all of these clubs. We will all benefit.
It's a competitive advantage that the clubs in the other States simply do not have and we should really take advantage of it.
I think it would be great if supporters and the clubs worked together on this to promote travelling to NSW away games.
The clubs need only 1. Promote the away games to NSW rivals as much as possible 2. Promote the atmosphere that can be created by travelling fans 3. Encourage travelling fans to attend away games 4. Promote travelling options to make getting to away games as easy as possible. 5. Encourage their own fans to become the biggest travelling contingent in the league (much the same as they focus on the 11,000 member target)
Each club's supporters can communicate with the supporters of other clubs so that we all see the importance of making these rivalries work for the benefit of the game, we encourage each supporter base to communicate with their club about it and we encourage our own supporters to attend these away games.
If all four NSW clubs did this and we saw 2,000 to 5,000 away supporters travelling for each game it would be a huge benefit to the league as a whole.
Thoughts?
