Welcome to the Ophidian Old Boys FFC as we move forward with expansion S34 and the future of Qootball. Being part of the Ophidian Old Boys is being part of something special. Ophidian Old Boy's is unlike any qooty establishment you have experienced. It is a confederation of rookie school, campus departments and qooty facilities and is the first collegiate Fantasy Football Club to have ever entered the competition.​

TEAM NAME
Ophidian Old Boys FFC

Founded in Season 34, the Ophidian Old Boys FFC has been designed to nurture the qooty spirit of brotherhood, banter and social engagement. The Ophidian Old Boys FFC is proud to be a comprehensive qooty club where qooty players of varying abilities are given opportunities to fulfil their boundless potential. We provide a balanced qooty training program, incorporating a variety of posting, media, social and qooty experiences.

OPHIDIAN CAMPUS LOCATION
Spotswood

Spotswood is a suburb of Sweet municipality that is located in a sunken region on the far south western corner surrounded by cliffs. Spotswood nearest neighboring suburb is Waverley with the Waverley Oval ground being situated to the east of its location. The area is bordered by natural bushland on the south and west with magnificent snow plains views to the north (Mt Buller is further north). One of the unique tourist attractions for the area are large caverns dotted around where past digs have been undertaken in the search for troll fossils.

HOME GROUND
Spotswood Oval

Spotswood Oval is nestled comfortable in a gorge and is a welcoming, fit for purpose qootball facility that supports the Old Boy's FFC strategic priorities of establishing themselves as an elite qootball program. Whilst our facility is an absolutely cutting edge, start of the art facility, there is an expectation of continued growth in the Ophidian Old Boys organisation. So it has been designed with two key factors in mind. The best long-term outcomes are achieved by designing facilities in ways that enable them to be flexible, adaptable and able to be re-invented to cater for changing needs. The design has accommodated the high possibility of future expansion. The facility design and layout promotes safe and optimal flexibility and functionality to accommodate concurrent use of the facility for different activities and events. This includes the design of secondary areas such as carpark, spectator viewing areas, reception/foyer areas, toilets, cafe, kitchen, operational areas and equipment/storage rooms. Nothing has been left to chance, and no expense spared. The qooty stadium has a capacity of over 2,000 people, making it the largest stadium in the Sweet FA. The field is 165 m (541 ft) long and 130 m (430 ft) wide and is a multi-purpose facility able to hold not only qooty events but ideal for hosting major cultural events such as concerts and outdoor stage productions.​

CLUB HOUSE
The Sir Aldus Haydovian Pavilion

When guests and visiting teams arrive they will be hosted in the exclusive Sir Aldus Haydovian Pavilion, a magnificent space with spectacular views of Spotswood Park. This is the place where the Sweet FA qooty elite can escape the strains of life and relax well out of sight of the unwashed riff-raff roaming the sweet streets.

ROOKIE PROGRAM
Ophidian Old Boys FFC rookies share in each other’s joys, successes and disappointments. They are challenged to appreciate the strengths and individuality of others as they begin to establish their own personal qoals and visions for the future. Enrolment in the Ophidian Old Boys rookie program provides aspiring qooty players with an education of the highest standard in combination with accommodation in a caring, well equipped environment.

Ophidian Old Boys FFC rookies will live on the Spotswood Suburb campus full time and will find Ophidian Old Boys is a home away from home. Rookies occupy Flanders Residence, of which Nedrick Belvedere Flanders is Head of House. Each rookie has their own space containing a bed. A rookie attends qooty training each day and on weeknights they can attend match threads, have free time or join supervised SFA group chats. On weekends rookies will enjoy an exciting variety of organised activities such as up hill rowing, Werewolf, Fencing and on Sunday's the match itself.

Head of residence is responsible for rookies wellbeing and support, and liaise closely with qooty coaches and SFA staff. The Head of House is the first point of contact for any issues concerning Ophidian Old Boys FFC rookies.​

UPHILL ROWING CLUB
Ophidian Old Boys Uphill Rowing Club (OOBURC) formed in Season 34 has been at the forefront of the Sweet FA uphill rowing circuit ever since. OOBURC is a club built on the core values of fighting an argument you can’t win and the ability to distort facts in your favor. We thrive to instill these qualities in all members of our club to ensure a strong bantering club culture that thrives on one-upmanship. At the end of the season a perpetual Uphill Rowing Champions Cup will be awarded to the visiting team deemed to have the strongest uphill rowing team.

Bonz Uphill Boat Shed provides a building for Ophidian Old Boys FFC to promote and house uphill rowing equipment with associated lost arguments. The majority of the building’s uphill boat space being used for the racking of visiting uphill rowing teams lost causes and arguments.

BATH HOUSE
Maximus Turbous Bath House has been created as an historic space akin to a Roman estate on the cliffs of Spotswood. The muted sand-tones paired with the nostalgic throwback to the 1st century reflect a bath house stopped in time and has its inspiration from the Roman Revival architecture.

Founded S34 as a gathering place where wealthy Sweet FA scions, celebrities and other influentials can meet over drinks, socialise and soak up the healing powers of Spotswood thermal springs. Maximus Turbous Bath House is by invitation only, and seeks to foster the idea of “Exclusively Inclusive.”

This is a must do for sophisticated players looking to experience the best of what the Sweet life has to offer. Ophidian Old Boys is renowned for hosting lavish exclusive events and if you are fortunate enough to make the guest list for one of these, you will experience a side of the Sweet FA like no other.

When my name became public with a bid, a lot of posters who I get on well with reached out. They told me that an expansion bid would not get up right now, that I was wasting my time, and at risk of looking a fool. Well, that, I think, shows them to be a poor judge, and proves that they do not belong as members of the journey on which we are undertaking.

Now that you have seen what has been created, and the people onboard, I am sure you agree how wrong these naysayers are, and understand my confidence that we will be admitted as part of season 34 and beyond. I cannot wait to get into the competition, and give them the Old Boys treatment of exclusivity, contempt and superiority. I truly believe some opposition posters, when they first encounter us, will struggle in coming to terms with how inferior and common they are. Thankfully we have outstanding security arrangements, believe me when I say that the underprivileged will not be an issue we need to worry about.

The reason I joined the Sweet FA was to have fun, banter, be an elite qooty player and escape the real world. If we keep these objectives front of mind we all are going to have a great time going forward. As Captain, my PM is always open if you find that for some reason you are not enjoying your Ophidian Old Boy's experience, or the Sweet FA in general.

Moving forward our priority will be Rookie recruitment, we will be looking to field at least 10. So if any of you know of anyone from another board that you think is Old Boy's material, reach out or let me know so I can extend an invitation to this exclusive society.

Yours in Qooty

Concept has potential. Colours are a bit too similar to the Royals.
They may have problems with their away jumper when playing the Warriors too.
Tigerturbulance could you add a list of who the actual players are joining, for those of us plebs who don’t recognise all those avs.


NM it’s there now.

I reckon that's the point o' the clash guernsey
 
Fair enough but still looks a bit too Royalish/Warriorish. Overall I like it tho and wish them well.
I don't see the Royals clash at all.

I get the Warriors clash with our orange predominant jersey (which is a clash jersey), but our white and purple predominant more than cover that.
 
You're using the 3 same colours with different shading.
Massively different shading, they're not in the same postcode. It's like confusing sky blue with navy blue.

Also, the Royals have 2 colours per strip, with the 2nd colour seams only. Old Boys have 3 colours prominently feature in each strip.



These are semantics in the scheme of things anyway.
