But don't throw them in the same category as other teams which have literally failed in the past. This club has many things to be proud of. 30 years and I'm sure you can name a few. Don't be such a negative ****.Quote:

Circus yes. Failure not. Why are fans like you still around after 30 years if it's all such a failure? The club is always bigger then every player fan owner whatever. The sooner people realise that the sooner we may just turn the circus around in the right directionQuote:

Blokes are still around after 30 years because they get distracted by shiny new things. Human nature and all that.

I'm a realist. But I'm also a proud Novocastrian and football fan. That's why I support our ****ing basketcase of a club.
As am I. Certain business side of our club has been a disaster. I just can not and will not accept that we are a failure of a club. Blokes like us are still around. And we are no more of a fan then the little boys and girls that come and watch their first game of football and fall in love. Yes sport is a business and all that shit. But we also shouldn't lose sight of who we are as a club.Quote:

He raises some excellent logical points. A bit of an argument to the people calling for it all to happen overnight.
I feel like I don't know you anymore.Quote:

Every other incarnation of football at the highest level in this city? Have at it.
More so just over being the laughing stock of the league. Getting comparisons with the gypos and two failed franchises will do me. Back in the day was awesome to get on the tins with the boys and look forward to a night game etc. Now trying to explain to the mrs who relocated here 6 years ago that the stadium was once packed makes me look like a liar. Now we have a little one who I'm sure will be a lifelong newy fan. Will we buy jerseys for her every year and sit in the squadron? probably not. But I sure as shit won't look at my club as a failure. Sure I'm as quick to bag them out as anyone on here but if we aren't going to back them up when things get tough then wtf are we all doing here?
edit - I'm just here for the laughs and cause my day job is boring as shit.
Until Martin Lee turns up to training with a box of mangoes the jury is still out as far as I'm concerned.
Can we have a counter of some kind on the Homepage telling us how long until the member returns ?Quote:

That's a really good question. I, for one, wouldn't want to extend MFKS ban any longer than MFKS deserved for doing whatever MFKS did in his ever so MFKS-esque ways.Quote:

Similar to the Fury CEO
Geelong
Tasmania
Canberra
South Melbourne
Wollongong Wolves
Brisbane Strikers
Northern Fury
Sydney United
- Form a B League in 17/18 season.
- Give teams 2 years to build $$$, fan support and get everything else up to standard.
- Start promotion for end of 18/19 season.
- Promte 2 teams every year to HAL, Minor and Major Premiers (or GF runner up if the same team wins both).
- Promote other willing NPL teams into the B League until we have 2 leagues of 18 with full promotion/relegation.
That's pretty much the exact thing I was banging on about them doing 3 years ago. FFA needed to hire me back then but I am off the market now. Unlucky.
Exactly what I am thinking but instead of 18 clubs I would say 16.Quote:
