Sister clubs

[keenzy]

How many do we have and who are they?

 

[Samantha]

ummmm.....
Chengdu
Feranvacaros (or however it's spelt and pronounced)...

Is that it?! Staines is just a training ground isn't it?

 

[keenzy]

got them 2, but with all the names floating around like the one in Australia, just wondered which we had bonded with.

 

[shorehamview]

Our sister clubs are Ferencvaros in Hungary, White Star Woluwe in Belgium and Chengdu Blades.
We also have agreements with other clubs, Sao Paolo are the only one whose name I can remember offhand. Erinsborough Rovers might be the Aussie one. Then again.....

 

[The One]

Central Coast Mariners are the Aussie side.

Central Coast Mariners are the Aussie side.

Are you sure? Not Erinsborough? I'm sure Madge Bishop was their physio.

 

[Linz]

Well my freebie mousemat in front of me shows Chengdu, Fradi and Central Coast Mariners.

And like SV said, we have "agreements" with Belgian White Star Woluwe and Brazilian Sao Paulo.

Apparently we're also looking at India for a base now.

 

[Sensiblade]

Thought we'd have looked at South Africa by now as well

Isn't there some sort of tie with the Ivory Coast, another mooted in USA and some club/school in Uganda??

Soon enough the Blades will have a link with a team I set up, we can be a feeder club ;-)

[Blades-7]

What do we actully do with these overseas clubs?

 

[GermanBlade]

Do you have a real friendship with Ferencvaros?
Or is it just because the "sister club" thing ?
I know they have a strong relationship with Rapid Wien (Vienna) for many years. :thumbdown:

Don't know about "friendship" - but I think we own Chengdu and Fradi and that Mr McCabe is the chairman of them both. Might be the same with Woule and Central Coast too. Fradi seems to me to be great news - Hungary's best supported club and European Cup winners too! Nice to have them on our side At the mo we have a good few of the juniors out there - Sam Wedgebury and Adam Chapman are there I think alongside a couple of others - Not sure if Jamie Ashmore has actually signed for them. I think some of the sister clubs also use our coaching and medical back up too. All in all it can only be good news for us as our Chinese friends buy our merchandise, our Hungarian mates help us blood our next generation, our Aussie cousins perhaps send us their rising stars and the Belgians send us cheap Stella
