What was that? At first I thought it was the girl from BWS at Gosford (that used to clash with the active support) who had alot of great opinions on the Mariners but then for a spilt second the mariners badge left and it looked like a 14yo boy channeling Col'n Carpenter.
Interesting thoughts anyway.

Honestly not a bad watch and pretty informative imo

So

For those who dont know, I am now in SW Sydney near the new airport (cheeky 4 hour round trip to home games)

Today Im talking to 2 young blokes, one played for Sydney Olympic youth, the other for Hakoah. Knew their football inside and out. Knew about CCU. Really rated "our" Dan McFarlane too. Both had played at Pluim and reckoned CC was a good football area

One was a Serb so we were able to have a Mitro love in

So I asked the obvious question. "Do you got to Bulls games?"

FMD the venom, I was a bit taken aback to be honest. These 2 blokes who have been in the football system their whole lives abso-f**king-lutely hate them. With a passion. It seems this is pretty standard which might explain their crowds

Apparently the whole Macarthur/SW Sydney thing is bullshit. They mainly train in Sydney, hate the local association (who I think do a pretty good job TBH). The decision to outsource their youth to Northbridge has terminally damned them it seems.

I always thought CCM could have done a better job engaging the local foootball community but looks like the Bulls have gone all out to piss everyone off.

Sidenote: Mount Druitt youth kids = $4,400 rego for this season

Interesting considering the owners are meant to be locals made good.

Doesn't one of the main guys own a trucking company or something?

I`ve said it here before,it`s mainly a Sydney Utd pseudo club.
They did not engage with Macarthur Rams at all.
The only discussion they had was to take over the Rams youth and senior teams to give them a ready made position in the NPL system.
My son ,who was running senior football there at the time told them in no uncertain terms to stick it where the sun doesn`t shine.
The ultimate plan for the Bulls is to play out of a revamped Fairfield showground....

Agreed. Has decent infrastructure. You don't realise where all the money is going until you see what they are building.
No wonder there is nothing left over
