I just got my South Melbourne FC membership package in the mail, looks very nice. Anyone who is interested in becoming a member of South Melbourne Hellas (wherever you are in the world), visit
www.smfc.com.au or if you are in australia then email
admin@smfc.com.au to receive a free membership information package and have a look over it.
For those of you who dont know who Hellas are, we are a football club from Melbourne, Australia supported mainly by the city's Greek community. We are the most successful club in Australian history with 4 titles and represented Oceania in the world club championships. We are currently in the Victorian (regional) State league which is roughly the equivelent to the second division of Australia as its the next tier down from the top flight. We're no longer in the top flight because of financial troubles and the fact that many people arent interested in allowing what they see as an "exclusively Greek club" (even though we have many non-greek australian fans).
So whether your an old Hellas fan or just feel like helping out the club sign up as a member for $99 and youll receive posters, pins and other things commemorating last years Championship triumph when we won the state league.
Match day 1 in a months time is the Greek derby between South Melbourne Hellas FC and Heidelberg Alexander FC. Its at Bob Jane Stadium in Albert park. I urge every Greek in Melbourne, whether you support Alexandros or Hellas, to get down and see the match.
South Melbourne Hellas vs Heidelberg Alexander @ Bob Jane Stadium - 4th of March 6pm
