Blueheels: - Why is the capacity of Telstra dome not indicated as 56,347 as shown in www.austadiums.com.au ? - Can we add biggest way crowd to the records at 400+ on the road... Not sure where to validate thsi stat as ticktek could not verify and Aussie stadium said go talk to ticktek.
why is there two number elevens?
Vey large fanbase. We would like membership numbers please and when you say they had always attacted 13,000 for the current A-League, yes, but surley you don't mean from the old soccer league, that struggled to survive? Until you state what the 'V' is for, leave the bloody thing alone.
According to Tony Ising, the club's Media Manager, Melbourne Victory FC membership for Season 2005-2006 exceeded 7,200 members - the highest membership of any club in the inaugural A-League season. Melbourne Victory FC did not exist before 2004; it has nothing to do with the old NSL.

Please provide a link to this statement where it says citation needed.
---
External link added to ESPN Soccernet Statistics page for Melbourne Victory FC (Season 2005-2006) - average attendance for the season was 14157. As far as membership numbers go, Tony Ising made the statement on the unofficial MVFC forum when asked the question - nothing official, though (which is why it isn't in the main article). On talk pages, could you please sign your posts using four tildes?

You didn't need to add it on the link, you only needed to add it for a citation, but you can leave it there as it is a useful link. It's good now. sliat_1981

[edit] Colours of Victoria
As part of the disambiguation link repair project (You can help!), I have changed the Victoria link to Victoria (Australia), as I'm fairly sure this is what it is refering to. Please could anyone change it to the correct page if I am wrong. Thank you, mattbr30 16:17, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
Hello,
That is correct, thanks for doing so!

[edit] Photo
Are you sure that's Olympic park? It really doesn't look like it.--Sliat 1981 12:55, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
- It most certainly is. I was there that day, sadly. (It might look different to you as it is usually a lot emptier when the Storm play there ;-) ) – AlbinoMonkey (Talk) 11:43, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
OK then. But seeing as we now concider over 15,000 (the crowd we had last night) as empty, I guess we'll have to move them out of Olympic park and back to telstra dome. --Sliat 1981 04:24, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
Consider: that's the first over 15000 crowd the Drizzle have had in years, and that on the back of Origin in Melbourne, while they were top of the ladder. Victory had three crowds higher than that in one season, in which they finished seventh. Infact Victory's average attendance was 14,157. I repeat, OP might look different to you as it is usually a lot emptier when the Storm play there. Emcee N 05:25, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Youre forgetting its the first season and no ones seen it before, so naturally there'll be a lot of people. And nice try, but I'm not getting into a soccer/rugby discussion. --Sliat 1981 09:13, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Record Win
I notice the record win has been changed to the 6-1 defeat of Chunnan in the QNI cup. I dont think this should be included as it was essential a friendly competition. If we are going to include results like that, we should have it as the 7-0 win over Kingston. Unless anybody objects, i will change it back to the 5-0 over Sydney. ElZilcho
Just to keep everyone happy, I've added a Record Victory (A-League) section. At least, until there is a consensus to keep only the A-League season results as the only ones of note. Dragases 13:12, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Marqee
Could anyone show who is the marquee for this team?--217.26.87.7 17:21, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- As i recall, Archie Thompson was the marquee player. Emcee N 03:40, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Record Low Attendance
Someone edited the Record Low Attendance to show the away game against NZ (at North Harbour Stadium). That's not an MVFC record. Record Low Attendance means Record Low Attendance at home, so I've reverted it. Dragases 11:51, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
Hey guys, i have moved much of the info regarding the past and current season to their own pages, as i think it was cluttering up the whole page too much, and would have continued to do so as time goes by.

[edit] Question: Who decides who are supporters
Could you explain why V for Victory was removed. Who can I apeal this decision to
Do you have a link or reference to anything that can substantiate it's existence? If so include that and put the information back, otherwise leave it out. And sign your comments.--Hack 00:18, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Stadium
I can't find mentioned anywhere a capacity of 28,000 for the new stadium being built near Olympic park. Can anyone reference it? Otherwise it should be changed back to "20,000", being expandable to 25,000. HorseloverFat 10:21, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Stoush??!!
"Kosmina was sent to the stand and later received a four-match ban from the technical area for his part in the stoush." - I take it "stoush" is an Australian slang term for a fight...? Might it not be better to use a different word, since I doubt many people outside Australia would know this word (I'm in the UK and I had certainly never heard it before)..... ChrisTheDude 12:36, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
I've changed it to "altercation". Dragases
[edit] Distance to opponents
I changed the statemnt that it is 1000's of kilometers to the nearest opponent, it is in fact "only" 720 km to Adelaide and about 1000 to Sydney. Drogo 23:24, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
