Interestingly, the NSL lasted for 28 years, in 9 seasons the A-League will have lasted longer and had higher average and total crowds than the NSL.

Greece literally just forced Macedonia to change their name because they hate each other that muchā¦ Half the Balkans still donāt think the wars have ended.
Are you worried about effnik crowd violence here in Australia?
Of course not! The ethnic based clubs have always proven to be very level headed and calm when playing against opposing nationalities. Sure they sometimes have a few issues with supporting known dictators, mass murderers and the such, but hey who hasnāt accidently strayed down the mass genocide path in the search to find that perfect football team to support?

Yes, yes of course. Iāve got a great idea.
I think we should suppress the national logos & identities of any ānon-Strayanā semi professional club who has a hint of anything that doesnāt resemble meat pies and kangaroos as a ethos. Hereās how it works, we threaten them with fines and de-registration when they donāt comply aided and abetted by spineless fucking racist slimy cocksuckers in the football media as well as scared shitless soft cock not at all racist A League fans who see the effnik European boogeyman everywhere.
Iām going to call it the National Club Identity Policy.
Wait the above was done?
Well shit Preston Macedonia will be disappointed, theyāre just dying to go back to the wise eggball FFA pieces of fucking shit who came up with that.
Waddya reckon cobber? Fair dinkum policy eh? Thatāll ensure a continuing success for clubs such as Melbourne City & Macarthur who are booming due to being 100% Strayan maaaaaaaaaate.

I mean the results do speak for themselves. The NSL model was barely sustainable and ended up branding soccer as a sport filled with ethnic rivalries. The A-League model has professionalized the sport and weāre suddenly getting a whole load of more professional players coming through, plus a number of sources of income.

Ok just one effnik club then instead of two. 
Then it can just be a good old a fashioned A Liga v NSL rivalry instead of a we love some Craysha Nazi dictator thing. Deal.
Iām loving the yoof business model. Strayan soccer as development league. Bring it on Skippy.
Someone else will have to do the Round 23 thread, Iām stuck on a train station
I havenāt got time to make one but wtf is going on in this game, I just tuned in
Great hit from Kitto there but why did he have four business days to line it up?
