The best for the ellinismo would be to merge all clubs into one, two or three clubs. Instead of having 20 teams with low attendances and without proper academies it would be better to have one club with high average attendance and a major academy. Of course, that would require people to swallow their pride and sucrifice their positions in the various smaller clubs. But in the long term, that would be the best.

"List of Greek clubs from Sydney so far"

Wow. So many clubs. It's beyond my imagination.

South Melbourne Hellas got knocked out by Bentleigh. Every new dawn A-Leaguer would have cheered at this result.

Shame that more Greek clubs didn't make it.

[RED SHERIFF]

also keep in mind geographical restraints...

it takes in Melbourne and Sydney 1 hour in peak traffic to dive 15 km...

imagine taking kids to training if we merged and closed down clubs..

 

in regards to academies...its not about club resources...its the 'australian system' that makes it impossible to have proper academies.

[PAOKSWEDEN]

You might be right guys, I don't have the insight you have in what's happening down under. 

The best scenario in that case would be to have everyone supporting their local greek club AND supporting South Melbourne Hellas in their strive for an A-league spot

And they did it. Next season Akropolis IF will play in the Superettan, Sweden’s second tier. With 4 games to go the lead Division 1 with an advantage of 13 points.

Would be dope to see them in FIFA someday lol 

[Dutch Eagle]

Akropolis IF had a very decent maiden season in the Superettan. They ended fifth in the League.

They had the rare score of 50% draws (=15), ten wins and only five losses.

[Dutch Eagle]

Akropolis started the season as they ended the last one: masters of the draw.

They just finished their fourth match with their third draw. They also have one loss.

[Dutch Eagle]

After four draws and three defeats Akropolis finally had their first win in MD 8.

[Dutch Eagle]

St. (Agios) Panteleimon FC in London won last seasons Middlesex Premier Cupfinal and was awarded with an entry to the big FA Cup. As they are playing in the tenth level they will start in August in the qualifying competition. Level 3&4 clubs, the first clubs professional level, start in October as the Proper competition starts with a few amateurs left.

[Dutch Eagle]

Akropolis IF ended the season as #13 in the Superettan and must now play promotion/relegation play-offs against a team from the third tier to avoid relegation.

[Dutch Eagle]

It will be a hell of a job to stay in the Superettan. Akropolis lost 3-0 away at Skövde in the first leg. Leg 2 is tomorrow. 

[Dutch Eagle]

The return ended in 0-0. Therefore Akropolis is relegated to the third tier after two years in the Superettan.
