security isn't an issue there are plenty of scummy blokes after the match when play melbourne victory trying to get it on, it's just part of it that needs to be managed. media is overrated most of our supporters are over sensitive about it. nsl club supporters blame the media when really they hadn't created deep community support. most the ethnic clubs aren't a singular ethnicity any more, the issue is the support past the crowd support isn't there for foxtel subscribers.Those 10k crowds turn up for special fixtures, in other words, ethnic rivalry games.
But the fact they have that many turn up is a great thing to see and i dont doubt they would turn up in large numbers for the a league, but it just comes with that huge risk of the small number of ultra types that would add more media pressure on an already overly scrutinized league. Ethnic violence headlines, warranted or not, could destroy our league...again. is it worth the risk of destroying the game or is the risk of new club identities with no real support from the start less problematic
