Tomorrows sport section is a must read, it is up to us to buy as many copies and hand out copies to as many people as we can and as many olympic people as we know.
This is heating up big time!

Good article, but it should have been proofread before it's release to the newspaper....It also goes to show that the guys in the Greek media do not proofread the articles which go into print. You could have dropped a "malaka" in there and no one would have noticed.

Unimpressive, unmotivating article that smacks of desperation and pinning hopes on a fragmented, disillusioned minority community to make SOFC great.
Try, SOFC producing quality facilities (that the members/community owns) to use as a base for producing young talent. Get more involved in the general community, membership dollars from non-greek heritage people smells the same as "greek" money.
Give the FFA a compelling argument to re-enter the top flight.
Right now it sounds like a kid whinging because they aren't getting their way.
Ask yourselves the question, right now, do we deserve to be in the top flight?

Mr Inde Ask yourself, does CCM, HEART, JETS, FURY, ROAR, GOLD COAST?  No they do not, do any of these clubs have 21 year leases do they have there own facilities no! So what are you talking about confused man? |

Your argument doesn't hold.
You are saying, that because these clubs have nothing, they should admit another club that, at the moment, has effectively nothing.
Don't get me wrong. I am a SOFC supporter and have been probably longer than most of you have been alive.
I maintain my rage against the A-league, I do not support it either in spirit nor I put any money towards it by attending games or buying merchandise.
What I am asking for is to see SOFC compelling arguments for admittance to the A- League. What other clubs have or don't have is of no consequence to me.
SOFC needs to put itself in the position where the value proposition is so strong, they can't say no.
ATM we are so far away from that. The difference between dreams and plans is action, little meaningful action is taking place to achieve the end goal....SOFC in top flight football again in Australia.
I'm not confused, in fact it's crystal clear.

Mr Inde Sucks that you feel that way, but if you as an Olympic supporter feel that way then non-supporters might feel the same as well... mr inde, what do you think we should do in writing future articles? maybe you can be part of the process in writing and editing these articles? help is always appreciated and we want to grow, if our own supporters dont stand up then who will? this is why we need to stand together it can be achieved! |

The difference between dreams and plans is action, little meaningful action is taking place to achieve the end goal....SOFC in top flight football again in Australia. Mr Inde Mr Inde, there have been plenty of achievements this year as a result of hard work and action!! - 25 year lease of Belmore Sports Ground - dialogue with Bulldogs and Federal Govt leading to $5m grant to Belmore Sports Ground - 5 of our 7 youth and senior teams making Finals Series (u13 u14 u15 u16 u20) - Olympic Ultras formed, with regularly updated website, 150+ members on our forum, 1000+ posts each month, 50+ Ultras on matchday, flags, drums, merchandise coming soon too - AEK agreed to train before Olympic's last home game because they werent allowed to play another team in their contract with HAKOA - over double the number of season passes sold in 2010 from 2009, with targets of 1000+ season passes for 2011 all this doesnt happen by itself! and with the poor results of the First Grade it was increasingly difficult to draw support but we have created a fantastic framework for further success in 2011 dont you agree? With all this in place NOW we can go forward, but we will need fans like yourself helping us, helping the club, helping the community in general because there is proof now that people around each of us are prepared to do the right thing FILOTIMO IS HERE TO STAY WE LOVE OUR CLUB AND CHERISH OUR IDENTITY onwards to 2011! |
