Compare that with say the membership base of Melbourne Knights.
Reckon the base of their support would be conservatively 80-90% who are Croatian Australian /Croatian.

I would say any issues coming from the Melbourne Knights pushing the ethnicity angle would be based on the ethnicity of the overwhelming majority of their support

I would also say that these issues in relation to Roar have **** all to do with the ethnicity of their support as the Dutch are so far in the minority they are irrelevant
Does the club identity policy mention anything to do with the ethnic make up of the club's membership? Or is it yet another "one size fits all" policy the FFA are rolling out.

If a policy is indeed a policy surely it needs to uniformly enforced. Brisbane have Dutch links, tenuous maybe, but they are there. Unless the policy dictates "levels of ethnicity" before the policy applies to your club then the policy needs to be applied to the roar in the same way as the knights or South Melbourne or magic or west wallsend.

It's not ethnicity that's the issue - it's ****wits - target anti-social behaviours, not ethnicity.
