Danny Townsend

Credit to Jamie, Lecks and Marco for hanging around and meeting the fans. Bloody hard after a loss but good people do good things. Thanks guys

@mrtimotae @daniel_gonano @grimaud_john @aleaguemen That’s a reasonable point

I’m sorry but WIN Stadium is unfit for @aleaguemen football. Why in 2022 are we playing on such substandard surfaces when we are trying to raise the profile of the league. #WELvWSW

@CarolineRowland @AllianzStadium @SydneyWFC 🤦‍♂️

@drt15 @AllianzStadium @SydneyWFC Scoreboard working.. but still no replays 🤦🏼‍♀️

Poor form at @AllianzStadium for the @SydneyWFC games and no replay of the goals!! @drt15 can you sort it??

@Kerri1157 @rudytee376 @CarolineRowland @AllianzStadium @SydneyWFC I reckon scoreboard operating could be my thing! 😎

@rudytee376 @drt15 @CarolineRowland @AllianzStadium @SydneyWFC I was about to say the same thing! You get blamed for everything. 💙⚽️💙

@jono31 @MrSydneyFC @SydneyFC It was a seat kill which I haven’t seen implemented. Probably one for the club to update on

@drt15 @MrSydneyFC @SydneyFC Out of curiosity what was the solution? Have been to two home games this season where it could have been implemented (ADL & MCY).

Hey @drt15, what was the outcome of the new stadium getting championship & club (?) mode? The whole blind/curtain controversy to hide the top tiers. When the build was announced, it was removed from the plan. Did it go ahead, or cut due budget restraints? #SydneyFC @SydneyFC

@andrea_1380 @daniel_gonano @grimaud_john @aleaguemen Sky Stadium next week mate

@drt15 @daniel_gonano @grimaud_john @aleaguemen Don’t they play there next week to against us? Us being AUFC!!

@daniel_gonano @grimaud_john @aleaguemen Daniel - to be fair WIN Stadium gave the club a home when their were unable to cross borders and play in NZ. Meeting those commitments in return is only fair.

@drt15 @grimaud_john @aleaguemen Thank you for the response. I’ve stopped watching the game - I’m really starting to think this league is beyond saving.

@daniel_gonano @grimaud_john @aleaguemen It is a legacy commitment from a contract Wellington had during COVID to play a certain number of matches at WIN Stadium. This is the last one under that arrangement

@grimaud_john @aleaguemen Still have not seen an explanation as to why the game is being played in Wollongong? Can anyone please explain ? @drt15

@caineyten @newcastle_jets @CCMariners I think it’s the clubs having a bit of fun.

I’m sorry but this is an absolute disgrace. What was the marketing people thinking @newcastle_jets / @CCMariners . I’ve had so many people including myself thinking this was a piss take. Thoughts @drt15 ?

@dshilo2 @gullibles @TomWilliamsPol @KimonTaliadoros Different audience to where the campaign was aimed previously to see what impact it has for ALW.

@drt15 @gullibles @TomWilliamsPol @KimonTaliadoros So why is being implemented in the A-League Women, Danny?

@gullibles @TomWilliamsPol @KimonTaliadoros Vince - little known fact is that program was in place for many years. Registered participants went for free and uptake was very low under the pretense that if it’s free it’s considered worthless. We need to find better ways to engage these fans and have them experience it

@TomWilliamsPol The solution is crazy simple and basically cost free - free kids tickets for registered players. Stadiums are rarely full so a few thousand free tickets plus their siblings and parents who have to pay will increase the tribalism and habit of going @drt15 @KimonTaliadoros

@settimoc Agree - actions and outcomes is all that matters.

Less talk, more action.

@osyardo Thanks mate

@drt15 Well said Mr Townsend. And we are behind you on getting Corporate Australia and Government to support Football and build on the momentum for both the Ladies and Men

I am biased but congrats to Arnie. Few know what he and his wife Sarah have been through to get to where we all are today. Not saying anymore but those that know ….know. Huge achievement and thanks!

@KamSimsek @GeorgeDonikian Amen to that Kam

@drt15 @GeorgeDonikian Galvanised the team which got us much further than most of us ever imagined this campaign. On a side note DT, prioritising and backing active support at all grounds for the A-League is an absolute must. It is our biggest advantage in attracting and retaining young supporters.

@jeromelaxale @SydneyFC @Socceroos @aleaguemen @aleaguewomen Good man Jerome - love your support for our game mate

Final thought for tonight. I’ve been a season ticket holder at @SydneyFC for 18 years. Aloisi’s goal vs Melb, Del Piero’s stunner, and of course a few titles along the way. Great moments. If you loved watching the @Socceroos, get out to an @aleaguemen or @aleaguewomen game ⚽️⚽️

@Gatty54 @Socceroos There would only be one result in that one Gatty

@drt15 @Socceroos You take her on out there? Lol

How good is Australia. Watch our @Socceroos take on a football powerhouse then paddle out at Freshie for a surf and bump into 7 time world champ Layne Beachley in the line up. Only in Australia 🇦🇺

@Gatty54 @JJ_JamesJohnson @Socceroos @FIFAWorldCup 💯 Gatty

@drt15 @JJ_JamesJohnson @Socceroos @FIFAWorldCup Danny we have to move and move fast to capitalise mate. I’m old enough to have seen a succession of our administrations fail to take advantage of these positive situations. Start an ad campaign now, highlighting this and the AL. (Cont)

Congrats to @JJ_JamesJohnson Arnie and all the players and staff that have played their part for the @Socceroos at this @FIFAWorldCup. United the nation like no other sport can.
