From twitter, it appears their PowerPoint presentation managed to misspell both the club’s and coach’s name. They’ll fit right in.

Sounds good if they can make it happen. Nice. Should be a strong area and team if run properly.
As it stands there’s not a lot to really dislike about them. Kinda feel the same as I do about Newcastle. They’re there, good for them, do your best as long as we beat you it’s fine.
Yep. I’m just glad that we’re getting some more A League teams. Expansion has been so overdue, it’s great that it’s starting to happen. Delaying them for a year is a cop out though. Would have been awesome to have both new teams start next season.
I was curious as to how they would rebuild the stadium without being displaced.
“The reason that’s possible is they can rebuild one side at a time and it will not affect our club.
“The plan is for temporary seating on either side of the existing stadium structures, so you start on one side and not be losing numbers on attendances."
That sounds quite ambitious given the circular design of the new stadium.

Macarthur FC were pleased to announce today that they would create the first indigenous football academy in the A-League. Professor John Maynard will chair the indigenous advisory panel (another first) which will help guide the academy to developing and nurturing young indigenous players in our great game. Professor Maynard was pleased to announce the first three partners in the Academy would be the University of Western Sydney, Campbelltown City Council and the Walker Corporate Foundation.

Most people in Campbelltown have heard of the bull cave in Kentlyn - but besides that - you are right about most people not caring about cowpastures etc
Apart from the typos (lol), reckon they’ve done well on every other front. Love the stadium plan, hope it happens.
Why have a circular roof on a rectangular stadium?
They did something similar for the re-development of the stadium in Newcastle so shouldn’t be an issue…
And Perth. But they’re rectangular stadiums with clearly separate stands. Have a look at the photo of the proposed stadium - just seems like a much bigger undertaking to do that in phases while still being able to make use of the ground the whole time.
God that escalated.
Also - the obvious ‘Bullpen’ has a lot of traction to be the active group area. Probably too obvious to not happen

Of course women designed it…look at the open legs and the pointy thing between them…those girls got it upside down!
Someone compared it to a woman’s reproductive system on twitter.
Made me chuckle.
Interesting little poll from the MFC supporters facebook page kind of backing up my idea from earlier in the thread that a fair few newbies to football will be supporting:
As it stands 165 people have voted
34% have moved over from Western Sydney Wanderers
30% are new supporters to Hyundai A-League
27% coming from Sydney FC
3% are converting from NRL
And the remaining 6% are from other A-league teams.
Can somebody tell me how I should feel about this club? I mean it’s never going to be an intense visceral hatred we reserve for a few other teams. Should it be a patronising, pat on the head sort of disregard? A mild disdain? Or even, as they’re going to hate the Wanderers, an “enemy of my enemy is my friend” alliance?
I’m confused. Help me out here.
As long as they mug off Wests twice a season, they’re a-okay by me.
Like Newcastle?
I’ve been trying to figure out if that’s just a fan group or if they’re an active group. I’m assuming just a general fan group.
