If the APL fail in keeping the league aflot we all lose, Aussie fans and us. If this long protest wins (which it wont) the potential for clbs to fold due to lack of support in our faces again. The big clubs wont fold, the nix could and who loses? not the league, not the APL! We as Nix fans do, and for what? Solidarity?

Please note Nelfoos I've not name called or anything in my posts, implying I'm a self-serving wanker is unnecessary, play the ball not the man!

Often protests are undertaken by the idealists, and these are generally the ones that are too naive to see/understand and accept the financial realities of running a business/league/football club. Sometimes you have to accept a decision becasue it makes financial sense, even if on a moral/sporting level you dont like it. (this is where I see the nix being at) expecting them to come out firing is ridiculous, noone is going to bite the hand that feeds them - except somone who refuses to understand the complxities of the situation. 

So, no matter what, we need to shut up and take it because they could take things away from us? That's a 5 year old's reasoning. There's a line worth taking a stand somewhere and for me and thousands of other A-League fans, this is the line. They're already taking it away from us.

If the financial realities are such that $4m/year is the difference between life and death then its already dead and Rob should stop pissing his money away yesterday.

Sorry, but if you're gonna act like a self-serving wanker, I'm gonna tell you that. Putting your own interests above all the other fans is self-serving wankerism, like it or not. You've literally said you don't care until it personally affects you - what else am I supposed to see?

I'd rather live in a society of idealists that tries to improve things around us than one of self-defeatists who won't even try because they don't understand how community pressure creates change.
