If that were true, though, it does make me wonder why a handful of ACFC fans bother bitching and moaning on this forum about the state of the ASBP when perhaps they should either:
a) go and get in Ivan Vuksich's face about it, or
b) accept that the status quo is actually great for their club and be happy with a trip to the CWC just about every year
