Strewthbury Owl Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Not sure, business one? The company I've got a job with are sorting it. Trying to open a bank account over there at the moment, form keeps dying on me though Is there any bank in particular to avoid? I've been trying with NAB at the moment but open to suggestions if it won't work. Particularly banks in the Melbourne/Victoria area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly banks in the Melbourne/Victoria area The banks down here all do pretty much the same thing. 4 big ones which own some of the smaller ones and offer virtually the same thing with the same service. Commonwealth Bank just has the most branches and ATMs, thats it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nswowl Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I'm Sydney born and bred. Live out in the south western suburbs. Anywhere near Casula. Can't say I've ever seen a Wednesday shirt walking through Liverpool Westfields apart from my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to get hold of someone from there to sort an account out, I don't have a phone number over there yet though which appears to be a problem on the application form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nswowl Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Anywhere showing the game Saturday night in Sydney? Should be on in most pubs I'd say. It's on Fox1 and leads into the Man City v Sunderland match so shouldn't be a promble getting it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R-Sole14 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Anywhere near Casula. Can't say I've ever seen a Wednesday shirt walking through Liverpool Westfields apart from my own. Used to live in Glenfield, now live in St Andrews. So quite close. I also avoid Liverpool Westfields like the plague, hate that place like the rest of Liverpool CBD. Used to do my groceries at Casula Mall, occasionally be down there in my Wednesday shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't sure you'd be familiar with Casula Mall. I'll be watching the Preston game at a pub in Glebe if you're out n about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussieowl87 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Finally! A western Sydney A-League team. Hope they play at Parra Stadium - within walking distance of my place. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aussie_Dave Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 FFA has already signed their death warrant, they have no time to get a good squad together. Will end with the dregs of other clubs and by the time they have the opportunity to have a good squad the interest will have wained. Should've waited a season and let them get on all the contracts running out at the end of next year. Or gone to 8 teams and got rid of that joke club Heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussieowl87 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Lack of patience really. They know there's a MASSIVE fan base, but if there is nothing but poo on the field, they'll lose it too. I hope they don't get hammered like Gold Coast and GWS in the AFL. Aussie fans know nothing about things taking time to develop... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strewthbury Owl Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 What's the deal with Melbourne Heart then Dave? Seems to be a lot of hate towards them, is it just because they're a new club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-Sole14 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Finally! A western Sydney A-League team. Hope they play at Parra Stadium - within walking distance of my place. Thoughts? Finally an A-League team to support, dislike Sydney FC with all that 'glamour' club crap. Hopefully they can get a decent squad together and be competitive and people give them a chance. I'm more hoping they'll play at Campbelltown Stadium since it's close by, but Parra is a better and more central choice. Maybe the odd game out at Campbelltown and Penrith. Maybe they can play and blue and white vertical stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are pretty much a bunch of "old soccer" people who got pissed off that Victory got the original licence over their bid. But thy are very lippy for instance when Victory signed harry kewell they instantly came out and said "we could've signed him but he didn't suite our youth policy" but most of their best players have been easily into their 30's (Sibon, Aloisi ect) Their fans are idiots too, they hate victory cause they think it's a plastic franchise but then go on to support a club that is only around because of their rival's success. lots of stuff like that, basically think they are some how morally superior to the biggest team in the country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R-Sole14 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 west sydney stuff i've seen (previous bids ect) have basically all been mostly red Listening to the press conference they said they will let the community decide on colours, badge and name. It is aimed to be a "community" club, not a privately owned franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
