New to this forum and read through some of the old comments. Why do people not like Athletic? bigfudge

Whanganui Athletic played against PNU's CL2 team last Saturday up at Massey. 3-2 win to PNU, could and should have been a wider margin. Sloppy first preseason outing for both sides so probably shouldn't read too much into it.
Not much has changed at Athletic although they only had one import playing. Same constant moaning at the ref, fouling constantly.
PNU will be in trouble if that is actually their 1st team line-up, not a lot of quality on display.
Never change hot chips. I'd love to see Levin give them a good go this year but I'm sure they'll be a bit more chopping and changing before the start of the season for both teams.
Scott Robson's a good coach so I expect they'll be up there again. Who knows with Whanganui in West Prems

Personally I'm not a fan of the approach they have taken with importing a bunch of lads from overseas blocking pathways for local young players. I don't think the return they got from one year of most of these lads was worth it.
On the pitch they were dickheads, although dickhead in chief (Noon) has left so hopefully that changes. Sore losers at boys high and in Wainuiomata as well.
Hopefully their attitude is a bit less dickhead this year with the turnover.

Having the misfortune of playing against them and witnessing their antics first hand. Plus the tiktok stuff and being sore losers down in Wainuiomata
