Sydney based expats playing/watching football

[Guest AmesManchester]

Hi everyone,

My husband and I have just started settling into Sydney, we're based in the inner west. My husband looking for football team to join or just make friends with some expats to watch football, talk about it. Any contacts be much appreciated.

very true.

 

After my first year over here, just about got my head around 'footie' meaning AFL. Weekend up in Brisbane, speaking with a guy about footie, assuming he means Aussie Rules. Nope, up there it means rugby league :err:

 

I have not a scoobie about what does/does not constitute 'footie' in NSW

Ames, My husband drinks in The Royal Hotel, Leichhardt. An eclectic selection of English lads drink in there and talk Stoke City/ Manchester/ Celtic etc.

I will never call it soccer and most ozzies who are football fans make a point of calling it football as well. The clues in the name lol
