Our travel was not financed by any 'mystery' third party.
A third party who is reasonably well known to the Australian supporters groups is facilitating the meeting. They are not anonymous to those attending and may even be attending but do not want the whole world to know they are involved.
Less tinfoil hattery please and Matt and Brandon take a deep breath. If you go off at every bit off foolishness your hearts won't last past 50.
I love this
The third party who is known, and is not anonymous, cannot be named. The party may be at the party, taking part, but no part may be taken outside the party.
Just gorgeous darling :-)
Meeting between fans and FFA in an attempt to sort out big mess and make things better for fans = debate on YF Forum about where the money came from.
I don't actually care where it came from, just that we have a rep at this meeting. Sigh.
Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

I've had words with the people involved Monk.
Also, I suspect I didn't make myself clear. We have received no financial assistance from the individual who has facilliated this meeting. Does that make it clearer?
I heard from a good sauce that the secret benefactor is Frank Lowy. Since that fall on his head he has become very confused and actually thinks that this meeting has been called to throw the Phoenix out of the A League. The YF Elite know this and have conspired to keep his identity secret in case it blows their chances of a night of debauchery up at the Bourbon and Beefsteak.
More likely Disco Damien looking for a 04:00 AM bender.
NZDave - if you see Shirley Bright can you get me her autograph please? I mean for a friend actually.

Ah, I was under the impression the costs were being covered by 3rd party.
Personally I don't give a toss if they are or aren't, I was only irritated by the responses which as you say has been sorted, followed by the less tin foil hattery response.
Drunk Monk is now my friend..... I think it is important to attend this meeting and accept what News says. While I haven't necessarily got all hot under the collar like most on the fan ban thing, the FFA on this issue and many others are showing themselves to be out of touch with football's stakeholders. This action, hopefully, will cause change in both attitude and perhaps personnel and we get our wish that the Nix and NZ are recognised as being an essential and worthy participant in the A League.

Steady on NP. Have you not learned anything in your 8 1/2 years on this forum?
Never, I repeat, NEVER, accept what News says. ;)
p.s. Can I be your friend too? I'll make us matching hats out of Watty Mellons!

I'm afraid I chuckle every time I see the term "YF Elite". I'm sorry.

The biggest question is, Who is paying for the Krispee Kremes?
A personal gift from NZ Dave to Hard News?
A dubious purchase, from the YF Coffers?
or is it a thinly veiled bribe from the anonymous, well known, nameless mystery third party?

Bali and Thailand are territories of Oz aren't they?
Whereas Christmas Island is part of NZ and the Pacific Islands...

Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days
That was Serco but not soon.
I would classify it as an Australian overseas territory though.
They seem to be able to influence who goes there.
