Aisle pay that: seat surcharges https://t.co/Jx269HBofd Doesn't go far enough. Fans should have to leave credit card details to be charged a 'convenience premium' if a goal is scored at their end or nobody is sitting next to them. Come on, guys. Do better!

The problem @peterfilopoulos with a brand is that it is distinct. A NSD, which @AusChampionship is a step towards, as @FootballAUS says, must be a part of one brand - 🇦🇺 ⚽️, as must the @aleaguemen We must be one, with divisions, not division. https://t.co/2aFoxK4cDo

What a cracking game to open the @AusChampionship .. @smfc win it 32 at home in the last 5 minutes of regular time .. great atmosphere, almost 7000 fans, free to air TV and quality goals… fully deserving of a national showcase

Clubs, communities, fans can't be suppressed forever. In March 2017 80+ clubs formed AAFC to reform our nat'l 2nd ⚽️ tier. 8.5 years of tireless advocacy later, we are at base camp - the Australian Championship. Very excited for it & the home & away comp summit to come. 🇦🇺 stage

IT’S THE FIRST-EVER #AUSCHAMPIONSHIP MATCHDAY 🙌 7,894 days since the two sides met on the final matchday of the last NSL season, South Melbourne and Sydney Olympic kick off a new chapter in 🇦🇺⚽️ history 🎟️ Skip the queue and purchase tickets at https://t.co/nMnu6tMOqc

It wouldn't be a 'philosophical rival' if our best clubs played in divs based on merit. Why is the AL a thing? Our ⚽️ culture has euro roots. Fans follow their club, not a league. A true 2nd div will grow all our ⚽️ clubs. Australian Championship 2025:

Born near Kalamata, Greece, Jim Lambropoulos migrated to Australia in his mid-20s and has been a familiar face at South ever since, proudly volunteering for an incredible 57 years. At 87 years old, Jimmy remains a huge part of our club and family, and we’re proud to share his

"The best thing to happen to football in Australia in a very long time." 📺⚽️ If you think you're excited for the #AusChampionship on @SBSSportau this weekend, wait to hear what it means to the players 💚 It all starts at Lakeside Stadium this Friday, LIVE on #SBSVICELAND 🤩

Biggest crowd I've seen at Lakeside. Victorian fans have turned out. The young especially. Heidelberg is showing the resilience, ambition & capability of a true football club. Captured the hearts and minds. NST/Australian Championship next. Remove the silos.

@noplaceforsheep @ChrisLynnHedges Journalists canceling a journalist speaking about threats to journalism is as absurd as it gets. If there was any doubt about how deeply the US authoritarian contagion has spread, it's now completely gone. We are fully infected.

Honour and a buzz to be at @prestonlionsfc launch of @AusChampionship tonight. Football Show now with legends Paul Trimboli, Gary Cole and Naum Sekulovski telling great stories - the past, the now and the future of 🇦🇺 ⚽️.

Great write-up @heraldsunsport @ben_higgins8 on 🇦🇺 ⚽️ @HUAlexanderFC v @NewcastleJetsFC in @AustraliaCup Final, followed by @AusChampionship next week. Can't keep great clubs down...forever. Support your club and the game will prosper. https://t.co/AfLgxtMMf3

Not @SydneyFC player but @aleaguemen player. So needy. Misguided. Nobody plays for a comp or a league, they play for a club. EPL star Erling Haaland or La Liga star Kylian Mbappe? If we promoted clubs, not a league, it would help. Fans love clubs. https://t.co/RZPBG0UVWg

We can only sell our unique, community-owned and sourced assets once. We can't control (much) who the buyer sells to & what they do with it. Where does it leave our sovereignty? Optus’s triple zero debacle.. | John Quiggin

Kicking a dead horse. They call it strategy, but it looks more like political taxidermy, preserving a past that no longer breathes. This is where politics collides with psychology. Faced with an existential threat, the demographic tides reshaping Australia, some Coalition

Excellent news. Well done to all. AAFC has always said it's the best fit. The AL should have done it ages ago. Let's all support our clubs. If we can grow them, our linked pyramid will become reality - bottom up.

S6 Ep12 - The Rabbit Hole. So, we're back to the original decisionmaker to decide again, but with new docs. We can't tell how surreal this is since it's all secret. But I'd be shocked if hibernation & winding up still met licence conditions. We've unbundled ourselves into a heap.

Does anyone know if @wufcofficial appeal against FA's decision to revoke its @aleaguemen licence is still on? Can it be hibernated and skip a season yet somehow keep its licence? Surely there's no point having licence conditions if that can happen.

We have a WMG Fed Crt appeal against its winding up & a @wufc appeal against @FootballAUS taking its licence. @aleaguemen jumps in & 'pauses' a shareholder from its ⚽️ business to look after itself. How WU can meet AL licence criteria is impossible to see. Our sad tangled ⚽️ web.
