Sydney FC NPL vs Wanderers NPL 28/5/2016 2:00PM

Everyone wins.

No riots and pyro parties.

ESFC's backyard won't be overun by red and black.

WSW supporters can take a break from grubbing, pack animal-ing, suburban terrorism and lout-ing.

Mapman won't be forced to redraw maps.

Leichardt facilities won't have to deal with thousands of supporters, but a few houndreds instead.

Restaurants and pubs won't have to deal with overflowing cash registers.

ESFC will make a little bit of money for a game which is usually free to watch.

Grass roots football is spared another [insert whatever you feel is most appropriate].

Hundreds of police officers can stay home and put up their feet.

How good is that?

Our Club releases a short statement.

If only I could elaborate. 

Changes and restrictions to NPL Sydney Derby

Let's not kid ourselves that ESFC are a pyro free supporter base.

we be the bigger club, and grant them attend our game.

as long as we get to put a little "east" on every piece of merch they bring.

First derby at ANZ we should put the Cove up in the nosebleed seats then.

so much this. give them the tickets furthest away and release them from back row to front.

Make them all wear bordeaux colours...

Should just go and make **** loads of noise outside

...or we can always get on a train, pull the emergency brake just above the playing field and chant out the windows...

I know you're joking (kind of!), but this is one thing the authorities never seem to understand, no matter where they are and what the issue is - by treating people like **** they respond with anger and frustration and do things the stupid authorities were trying to avoid in the first place! I'm sure we're not alone in feeling like going to Leichardt on Saturday and creating a scene!

 

We be playing right into their hands & giving them justification for their decision.

By all means have a picnic in the park (east of venue), support our boyz, but behave in an exemplary manner.

this is an excellent point and i hope there is no problems because that will only make us look worse, but you do have to ask the question how liong can we be treated as the FFA's scape goat for violence and "anit scoial" behavior in Australian football and treated like comman trash before some turn around and bite back??

before some turn around and bite back??

Only justifies the entrenched negative existing views of some narrow minded people in positions of authority and power unfortunately, and only serves to condemn football to a future of the same. I think that we are making very slow ground, and we are constantly up against sime big obstacles, but we have come a long way and we should be proud of what has already been achieved.

The authorities constantly push and hope that we snap so they can say "see you are all grubs, just we like we have been saying"

However you sorta do feel like trashing some cyclone fencing at the same time

well said  couldn't agree more 

i believe august 28th will be our derby day for the next NPL match. Popendetta Park will become Popovic Park.

Can understand why the action taken has been taken... however, typically these type of sanctions are only taken after an incident has occurred. This is a knee-jerk reaction of the highest level. Yes, if both sets of fans were allowed and something happens that warranted the action for future fixtures, so be it. But, is this not an assumption of guilt before innocence? Now, where I have that before with Australian football...

I also read the RBB statement. I understand we all say in jest that Sydney FC are East Sydney FC (or ESFC), but to put that in a statement was a little childish (in my opinion). It just seems like (to many from the outside) that it's a tit-for-tat deal. Just wasn't a good look for me.

Doubt their fans even attend.

In the 2nd half of the 80ies my local team was promoted to 3rd division, the top flight of amateur football in Bavaria. For a few years they would play against former giant 1860 Munich, a club which back then had the potential to sell out Olympic Stadium, and today still has the potential to fill Allianz Arena. Huge fan base then and now.

1860 always had a reputation of having an anti social element amongst their supporters, and there was always a lot of police around at their games. But did the the authorities close the gates when 1860 rocked up in my home town of 40,000? Hell no! Instead the games drew crowds of 5 to 8k, which was massive in those days in that part of the world.

Locking the average football supporter out of Leichardt Oval is a missed opportunity. Lambert Park would have been pumping. Ridiculous decision!

Did East Sydney FC make an assumption about what may happen at Lambert Park- pre supposing what happened in Melbourne happen here. Or - does ESFC have intel suggesting something was on the cards and if so where did they get it and is it the same unviewable intel used to ban supporters without recourse to evidence or method of obtaining evidence. As an aside there are two Sydney teams - one Eastern Sydney the other Western Sydney. That isn't a slur it's a geographical / social fact just like Sydney Swans are South Melbourne Football Club.

We can only make assumption. My theory is somewhere along the line of FFA getting cold feet because of the events in Melbourne a few weeks back. Lloydy and I were talking about this in Adelaide, and we were wondering how FFA might respond. They didn't want any bad press. FFA would have made a "suggestion", and at Moore Park they would have had a think.

They would have been thinking that they didn't want to pay for security and police. It would have occurred to them that they consider Leichardt their backyard, that Norton Street would have been full with red and black jerseys on match day, that the visitors would have easily outnumbered and out sung their own. They would have thought that Olympic Park is dangerously close to Leichardt, and that they didn't want to lose another few hundred potential customers.

And then someone had a brilliant idea...

And the more I think about this the more cheesed off I get.

Someone should hire a drone and fly a champions of Asia flag over Lambert Park on Sat

does football nsw have the end say? or would of ffa had a chat in their ears? doubt we would of got more than 500 fans to attend but the scare tactics worked and esfc got their request granted.

Great preview.

Shame there won't be a large crowd there to see it

*Please refer to the Football NSW website for ticket requirements to this match

Damn, website says I can't go...

So if I happened to get appointed to referee one of the matches on Saturday and rocked up with my WSW membership lanyard on my keys round my neck, would the game be cancelled because the referee was banned from entering?

(note - i'm doing local matches on Saturday and not the NPL youth league)
