I should point out that, even if you don't think the YF should be antagonistic towards AKL fans, the AKL fans are being antagonistic towards you. The people those Facebook groups are gloating about buying away Kosta and our other stars, going to Eden Park on the 16th to cheer on Sydney, etc. There is a bitter rivalry coming, at least from one side.


Those Facebook groups are used exclusively by miserable old bastards with nothing better to do - don't take them into account. The majority of prospective Auckland A-League fans are currently Nix fans with no real need to feel conflicted, as it means two Kiwi teams to support and we don't feel the same towards the rest of the country as the rest of the country does towards us. As a result I, for one, am pretty alienated at some of the sentiment towards the new team here and I assume many others are too. I don't understand why some people are immediately forcing feigned disinterest out of some tribal allegiance, despite the magnitude of this achievement for New Zealand football. 

Having two teams to support against the Aussies is better than one. Claiming they're equivalent to an Australian side is petty and disingenuous, unless you truly have zero interest in the future of New Zealand football.

but, to be honest, i'm liking what theprof has to say - the rivalry will be fantastic! Absolutely no qualms against those feelings, which should be the basis of something great. Some people using it as an outlet for JAFA hate in general is strange though
