I go to as many Sydney FC games as I can and have done so since their first ever game. At first I thought, “give it time, it’s only the first season, I’m sure it will get better.” Boy, was I wrong. I’m purely there for the atmosphere now.
As we go into season five, I feel expansion isn’t going to fix anything. We have to fix what we have before we can expand.
You have players well past their use by dates as aarques who can’t even buy a goal with their overpriced $1.4 million pay-cheques.
Then the players that do show some promise are sold and shipped off to Asia or Europe.
The A-League needs fresh pairs of legs to help speed up the game. But you talk to the next generation of footballers and they all have dreams of playing in Europe.
The A-League is just a feeder competition for everyone else.
When you think about it, you pay up to $30 a ticket to watch strikers that can’t score, mids that can’t control the ball, defenders that can’t tackle or clear a ball, and keepers that can’t kick.
At the end of the day, we are paying to watch what we could go and watch at the park for free.
