I have always been a soccer fan but only went to my 1st A-League game this year. I have very strong tribal connections to Sydney and as I am of Italian heritage, I wanted to see Alessandro DP play. Sydney FC were coming to town and I had th opportunity to take a mate's MV membership as he was out of town.
I have to say, the atmosphere was awesome and I will be going again when SFC come to Melbourne. The onfield stuff doesn't hold a candle to the indigenous Australian code for excitement, bravado and continuity but the overall experience was fantastic. I suggest all should go and have a look.
Also applies to many AFL supporters here in Victoria too!!!
I cant understand how some people think, well here in Victoria anyway, that if you love AFL you have to hate the A-League or the NRL!
The A-league is a brilliant competition to follow in the summer months, certainly helps with the AFL withdrawal people suffer in the off season.
I'm not a member of the Storm but I attend a few of their games as well.
Soccer is like...
