Welcome to the A-League HK
Everyone else has had their say on Harry Kewell, so I don’t see why I shouldn’t.
I am absolutely delighted that one of our best ever Socceroos, and one that is still playing and having an influence at the national level has decided to join the A-League. It will be a crowd booster not only for Melbourne Victory, but for their away games as well.
We have Victory coming to the Gold Coast twice this season, however the second visit is the weekend before the Socceroos take on Saudi here at home in February.
The whole thing has been drawn out, and received much flack from fans and journos across the country. The so-called Journos who think they are in the know printed many a story deriding Harry and his greed. Insinuating he will not only take money from Victory but our away gates as well when he travels here.
I dare say the truth is much more palatable than the fiction we have been reading, and that the crowd increases we will all see as a result of HK coming to town will reap our own benefits in increased gates.
Welcome to the A League Harry, I for one will applaud you when you walk off the pitch at Skilled Stadium. Don’t listen to the negative crap and just get on with your job, entertaining football supporters and shutting the mouths of those detractors.

Agree that it is great HK is here and I will be getting off my arse this year and getting to the SFS to watch him play. However I fear that there will be sections of the press much more keen to find something negative to write than something positive. I hope he can stay positive in the face of what is to come and doesn’t get sucked into biting back or it will all go downhill rapidly.
