No longer are you a perceived lone 🐺 in supporting this. You can also sign anonymously & I wonder what level of interest needs to be shown for the likes of @football360au, @FSAAustralia & @Soccersceneau to cover this grassroots initiative to highlight the questionable governance structure of 🇦🇺⚽️.
Time will certainly be telling no? 🤔

Did you know that the professional game controls 41% of the game in 🇦🇺? If you control 41% of any other $100m organisation, you have a controlling stake.
Without reforms it revolve around these interests, many of which are foreign owned. Sign ⬇️for change

Eddie McGuire was brought up as a Catholic as his mother was an Irish Catholic immigrant to Australia.
You probably all know “Celtic FC” is a ⚽️ club formed by Irish Catholic immigrants in Glasgow Scotland.
Attached info/photos about the Irish Catholics in Melb ⬇️

Soooo,
whether it’s Marconi Stallions ⚽️ in Sydney, or Celtic FC ⚽️ in Glasgow Scotland, or Collingwood FC 🏉 in Melbourne, clubs in time all morph into the mainstream 🤓
We’re very lucky in Australia to have such a rich tapestry of ⚽️ clubs 👍

Just some additional background for fans to ponder 😊
Obviously clubs bring together different parts of society.
Many might not know that the great & mighty 👊 Collingwood AFL club was heavily associated with the Irish Catholics of Melbourne from 1920s onwards.

After the #AustraliaCup Final, every “relatively #EmptyDerby” is just going to feel perpetually inferior no? 🤔

Australian football is no better @Craig_Foster. Would be fantastic if you signed & backed this petition by the fans, for the game. This is a genuine opportunity to directly influence change. Don’t just post, do.

MIKE’S MANUAL CROWD COUNT 🧮
#BREAKING: The manual crowd count for these #SYDvADL images is:
9️⃣2️⃣6️⃣*
*Nine hundred and twenty six
👌 🎥 @stivCONNECTED with ok-to-good resolution when zooming. A margin of error of approx. 9.5%.
Hard to believe this #FAKE⚽️ attendance was any more than 4,000-5,000 odd, & I note, they’ve yet to declare an attendance online! Wonder why no? 🤔🤥
Unequivocally, #FAKE⚽️ is a sham no? 🤔
