This time a year ago, Sutherland avoided relegation by three points and 300 people would have been rattling around the stands at Seymour Shaw.
Today, 3,000 people have turned up to watch them play on the national stage for the first time, having finished in the top four of the NPL New South Wales.
A 10x crowd figure in any other world would have people singing from the rooftops and this is a story that deserves exactly that. The only lamentation will be, they actually had to shut the gates by the way. They could not let any more people in to Seymour Shaw.
Today, Australia Cup champions South Melbourne got the 1-0 win. But keep an eye on Sutherland. They could well become one of the stories of the second Australian Championship.

Record crowd at Seymour Shaw for today’s Australian Championship opener.
Hats off to all involved at Sutherland Sharks. Building something very exciting.

Why is no one talking about Sutherland Sharks for A-League? Over 3,000 sold out today’s match!

Box Hill United. The original Wembley 😜 This is a typical story of Australian soccer - “give them a rubbish tip”. Awesome history, Anglo origins, Italian & Greek. (Damien Mori junior club). One of the best facilities now in state soccer.

In 22 yrs through MVFC I've met Bosnians, Greeks, Asians, Chileans, Africans, Brits, teachers, lawyers, unionists, musos, socialists, bankers, ex-prisoners, conservatives, nurses, politicians, gays, academics, drug addicts & tradies.
A club for all Melburnians. That's the point.

I feel so ashamed as a proud Greek Australian to see Greeks booing a Welcome To Country last night. Shame on us. The First Nations community of Melbourne deserves a formal apology for the behaviour of Greek Australians last night. #australiacup #Hellas #SouthMelbourne

Last word on tonight’s match. As I stated 2/3rds of stadium Victory fans. South fans towards the end were bloody loud even for a minority. Victory played like dog shit, however South were the worthy winners and well deserved winners. Keep growing the base & beyond 🇬🇷. Go well
Not going to lie this one hurt. South matched us ball for ball and were the deserving winners. Ouch though. Well done Lakers

Security in full force. Hopefully no buckets 🪣here. Well behaved crowd on both ends 👏 Both sets of fans take a bow. Well done
