Just K.I.S.S.
Have a lot of presence around town here and there, sign players, do community engagement events, make sure the trains are running to Mt Smart as much as possible, make sure your fan groups aren’t off base- but get some identifiable fans who are real people so the public can relax that there’ll be some normal ish folk there, engage with the local clubs, get the membership options out early and get the tickets out early…win games…
Though Ali Williams and/or the Mowbrays in a free kick type dunk tank could be popular! Just spit ballin’ here…
Have to be honest, I’m still not impressed that no one associated with local football is in the top management team, but that may not matter. They’ve got more people associated with the Blues, the ABs, Melbourne City and Sydney F.C. than any local football people of any profile. Huge potential for missteps there.
On the other hand they’ve taken care of the money side, their home ground, the training facilities, coach appointment and allegedly some very classy signings. It’s a different origin story to the Phoenix. None of this reborn battlers business. Blinged II, aiming to challenge Sydney FC and shoot straight at the top. Might mean their fans get more impatient too! Or more casuals- with Ali and Bill it’s okay to like the #^$€ ball. We’ll see…
