Hi all!
The first ever edition of 'There's Only One FC' fanzine is available now. Dedicated entirely to Sydney FC, this month's edition includes
- a feature on why the 'zine is called what it's called
- a profile of Sydney FC coach Pierre Littbarski
- thoughts on naming 'Bay 23'
- a review of the Australian CWC qualifying tournament
and much more! Well, actually...there's not a lot more. In fact, that's it, really. But if you can't get enough poorly taken photographs and dodgy MS Word skills then act fast, this month's edition has a limited run and should be selling like hotcakes on ebay, come August.
IF YOU'D LIKE A COPY, PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL WITH YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS TO toofc@hotmail.com AND A 'ZINE WILL BE SENT OUT TO YOU ON MONDAY.
Thanks!

the name is, to sum up the opening paragraph of the fanzine, more about the ridiculous nature of the american style names that some clubs have opted for (ie Victory and Roar) with Sydney having the only traditional name.
If anyone is interested in a copy of this, and believe me it's a good read, let me know and I'll bring some along to the meeting on Friday night.
Support for the club shouldn't stop outside the stadium.

Got mine! Congratulations to whoever got off their årse to do this. I hope this is the first of many. I was pleased to see that in the finest traditions of football fanzines, production quality is minimal. All fanzines should be photocopied and unstapled!
Nice one.

At least it isn't named after a gymnastics club mate. DER GRUENWAELDER BRENNT!  JF |

It really shits me when people on this forum refer to the club as 'FC' (even one of the sections is called that. FC doesn't denote Sydney Football Club at all, rather it can mean any one of the thousands of teams in the world which have 'Football Club' in their name. So, stick to calling them Sydney, Sydney FC or SFC for short.

Unfortunately due to work commitments, I won't be able to make tomorrow's supporters meeting at Bar Cleveland. However there will be FIFTEEN copies of There's Only One FC available on the night. If you're interested in grabbing a copy and you haven't already ordered one, then please ask Rieper tomorrow night and he'll be able to sort you out. Copies are fast running out, so if you'd like one then please let me know as soon as possible, as work will soon be commencing on the July edition.
Thanks!

Great work getting the fanzine out, although there are EIGHT FC's (in the A-League) - the reason theres no "American style" name is because you lot in Sydney obviously have a little trouble coming up with stuff like that..
Its not limited to American sports anyway, what about:
Arsenal Gunners
Aston Villa Villains
Brighton Seagulls
Chelsea Blues
Crystal Palace Eagles
Derby County Rams
Everton Toffees
Fulham Cottagers
Ipswich Town Tractor Boys
Leeds Utd. Peathingys
Leicester City Foxes
Millwall Lions
Manchester City Citizens
Manchester Utd. Red Devils
Middlesborough Boro
Newcastle Utd. Magpies
Norwich City Canaries
Plymouth Pilgrims
Sheffield Utd. Blades
Southampton Saints
Sunderland Black Cats
Tottenham Hotspur Spurs
Watford Hornets
West Ham Hammers
Wimbledon Crazy Gang
Wolverhampton Wolves
and...
Adelaide Crows
Brisbane Lions
Carlton Blues
Collingwood Magpies
Essendon Bombers
Fremantle Dockers
Geelong Cats
Hawthorn Hawks
North Melbourne Kangaroos
Melbourne Demons
Port Adelaide Power
Richmond Tigers
St. Kilda Saints
Sydney Swans
Western Bulldogs
West Coast Eagles
... and...
Brisbane Broncos
Canterbury Bulldogs
Canberra Raiders
Manly Sea Eagles
Melbourne Storm
Newcastle Knights
New Zealand Warriors
North Queensland Cowboys
Parramatta Eels
Penrith Panthers
Cronulla Sharks
South Sydney Rabbitohs
St.George-Illawarra Dragons
Sydney Roosters
Wests Tigers
.... and theeeeen.....
Adelaide United FC
Central Coast Mariners FC
Melbourne Victory FC
New Zealand Knights FC
Newcastle United FC (Jets)
Perth Glory FC
Queensland Roar FC
Sydney _¸,ø¤°`°¤ø bling ø¤°`°¤ø,¸_ FC
All the above teams are football clubs (in whatever code..) and therefore can use the initials "FC" after their name.. and I tell ya what it's gonna be a boring season if there's only one football club! Who are ya gonna play??
