'''Dynamo Sparta Football Club''' (often simply known as '''Sparta''') are a Hattrick football club based in the city Melbourne, Australia and compete under the Oceanian flag. Sparta have been one of Oceania's most historically rich and loyally supported clubs, despite suffering several hardships in more recent times. They play in series VI.6 and have won 3 league championships.

Sparta were founded in 2008 and were the first of the ''Kew High'' group to participate in competitive Hattrick. They won their first trophy in their inaugural season of competition (Oceanian season 23) but were not promoted due to falling behind the promotion boundary. After a downfall period in the seasons following, Sparta hit great heights in season 30 earning promotion to division V and claiming their second trophy.

Dynamo Sparta have had two stadiums throughout their history; the first being Crapena Arena, which was renamed Souvlaki Stadium at it's reconstruction to a 40,000 seat capacity. Since the club folded in 2010, Souvlaki Stadium was knocked down; but at the revival of the club at the end of 2013 a new stadium was built to signify new beginnings for the club, and the club thus moved to Sherryfield Road.

Sparta have a loyal and energetic fanbase having boasted some of the best atmospheres in Oceanian football thanks to their Spartan Army fanbase. The club is owned and chaired by media personality Jordan Kounelis.

== History ==
=== Founding ===
Dynamo Sparta was founded on the 14th of January, 2008 as '''Super Dud XI'''. The team was born at the end of season 23 in a Division V series and were relegated into VI.897 almost instantaneously. Immediately after the relegation the club changed its name to '''TAS/VIC Greek Heroes''' and was known as this name for a further year. The club went on to win the VI.897 title in their first full season, but de to complications and rulings with promotion eligibility, the club was forced to remain in the division VI series.

The TAS/VIC Greek Heroes (or simply TVGH) struggled for several seasons afterwards to find their way out of division VI, finishing between 2nd and 4th on multiple occasions. The clubs group of supporters were becoming increasingly frustrated at the teams inability to gain promotion, despite showing promise for several seasons, but falling short on many occasions. Pressure was being applied from fans and sponsors alike, and this pressure eventually culminated into an event known as ''The Transfer Period.''

=== Rejuvination & "The Transfer Period" ===
After many seasons of trying to win the VI.897 title and get their way back up to division V the team went under a serious reconstruction period. At the end of the season 26 the club officially changed its name to '''Dynamo Sparta F.C.'''. ''The Transfer Period'' was a landmark event in the clubs history. The period only lasted for a week yet it had a big influence on the clubs reputation. Several fledgling new clubs made it clear that they were interested in some of Sparta's older, more experienced players who were surplus to requirements at the now renamed Souvlaki Stadium. The clubs board had been pressuring the coaching department to buy new players and sell old ones to help bolster the squad. Manager Jordan1 saw this as a great opportunity to rid the club of it's unwanted players, lighten the heavy load of 37 players as well as inject some flair and youth into the bland squad. A large quantity of players were sold, footballers from countries such as Finland, Brazil, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Poland, the Netherlands and Germany were all purchased to help inject the squad with international quality and Dynamo were finally left with a comfortable 25 players. In the eyes of the fans, this marked the moment that Dynamo Sparta became a club to contend with.

=== A New Beginning ===
"A New Beginning" was the slogan that Sparta used at the beginning of season 29. The club had attained exciting new players, a new internationally acclaimed coach, had built up a large warchest of $12 million, had secured sponsorship deals with large worldwide companies, Souvlaki Stadium underwent a 10,000 seat expansion, and its supporter base had been at its largest.

Season 29 turned out to be very successful for the club. The team got off to a slow start but eventually went on an amazing winning streak, only to be cut short by league leaders IC FC. Sparta finished in a promising 2nd on the table, 7 points adrift of top. Mikko Jokitalo had an outstanding season, hitting the first 5-star performance for any player at the club. Fili Rutland was the most consistent striker for the year. Herb Fitzpatrick scored his 50th career goal, and 3 member were inducted into the Hal of Fame; these were former coach Leon Christensen, great leader Timmy Brooker, and legendary wingback Dave Arnull. Brock Bradley is the next in line for Hall of Fame induction.

A lot of people around the club were pleased, but with IC FC gaining promotion, Sparta became the new strongest team in VI.897. In season 30, the club achieved what it had set out to do. An impeccable record throughout the season saw Sparta finish off undefeated with 13 wins and a solitary draw, score 90 goals for a goal difference of 79 goals, and win the league with 40 points, finally claiming promotion into division V. This marked the clubs second ever trophy, and is seen as one of the best moments in Dynamo Sparta's history.

=== Downfall ===
Following the successes of season 30, hardships hit the club in season 31. The jump to division V came as a shock to the club, who weren't able to cope with the level of a higher division on and off the field. The club slumped to its worst season ever, winning only two games and losing ten - both club records - with two draws as well. The club scored only 17 goals and conceded 31 - also club records - yet surprisngly managed to finish in 6th position. Yet this was enough to send the club into turmoil.

Off the field, the club became financially cash-strapped. In the lead up to the season, the pressure the board and coaching department had put on themselves to keep up with the standards of division V saw Sparta make some big money signings. Unfortunately, these came to no avail as the club continuously suffered terrible losses. This also turned casual supporters away, meaning the club wasn't making enough money through ticket sales either. By the end of the season the culmination of wasted signings, low crowd attendances and sponsors cutting ties with the club meant the club had hit all-time lows in the financial department. Amazingly, despite a poor record, not being relegated meant another season in division 5, which the owners and chairman Jordan Kounelis decided would end the club.

By the end of season 30, Kounelis handed Dynamo Sparta F.C.'s licence back into the Oceanian Hattrick Federation, and the club officially ceased to compete.

=== Brief Comeback ===
A the start of November 2012, there were widespread rumours that Dynamo Sparta F.C. would return to Hattrick almost two years after folding. On the 10th November, the rumours became fact when Dynamo Sparta received their licence into the Oceanian Hattrick Federation. The club was placed into VI.36 for season 38 and after Souvalki Stadium was torn down at the end of the first era, the Mikko Jokitalo Park was built for the second era. The park was a small temporary playing field with intentions to expand upon it in the future, and was named after the Finnish club legend. Sparta obtained a new squad, new coaches, new facilities, and the same large fanbase. The club went on to have one if its best seasons on record, winning 13 games and losing only once to claim their third ever title.

Jubilation quickly turned into heartbreak for the club at the end of the season as owner Jordan Kounelis revealed he wouldn't be able to operate the club anymore due to various other ventures he was pursuing in. This caused fans to turn riotous at the conclusion of the season, especially coming off a fantastic campaign and looking forward to hopefully excelling in their second attempt at division V. Again, for the second time, the Dynamo Sparta licence was revoked.

=== The Third Reign ===
Over a year since the club began its second era, former owner Jordan Kounelis announced on December 18, 2013 that Dynamo Sparta F.C. would be making its return to Hattrick. Kounelis' ventures he pursued at the end of 2012 had come to an end, and he announced that he was able to take complete control of the club once again. Supporters were initially cautious when hearing of Sparta's return, claiming it would be another tease and the club would soon fold yet again. Former manager Jordan1 has been reinstated at Dynamo Sparta and will take the reigns yet again in the clubs third era.

The Sherryfield Road stadium had been built in a new location for Dynamo Sparta to play home games in, with the local government providing decoys and excuses as to why the new stadium was being built, so to keep Sparta's return under wraps. The stadium was to hold 12,000 spectators in the clubs first seasons, with reports suggesting the club would look to expand so to accommodate for its supporter base.

== Colours and Crest ==
The club's colours have traditionally been navy blue and gold, which symbolise the clubs heritage base of Europe as well as the culture of triumph, respectively. The home strip is navy blue and gold vertical stripes, gold shorts, with gold and navy blue hooped socks. The away strip is white with a diagonal navy blue sash and diagonal stripes, navy blue shorts, and white and navy blue hooped socks.

The club has had one logo under the name Dynamo Sparta, and it was templated from Sparta Prague's logo, with whom they share similar names with. The logo consists of a circle which contains blue and gold stripes and the letters "DS" in black text; this is bordered by a white band that reads ''"Dynamo Sparta Football Club"'' in red text within it. The logo also features a skirt underneath split into three section, which simply harbour the clubs colours: navy blue, gold and navy blue again.

== Stadium ==
The club plays its home games at '''Sherryfield Road''' (more commonly known as '''Sherryfield''') and has done so since the start of season 42 in Oceania. Sherryfield was constructed midway through 2013 in preparation for the clubs revival in December of the same year, and will only house 12,000 spectators for the first few seasons of the clubs third era. There has been speculation that Sparta will look to expand its stadium so to house its once, and yet again, large group of loyal supporters.

[[Image:Dsfcstadium.PNG|thumb|right|200px|The old Souvlaki Stadium]]

The club trains at the new Cannedia Park facilities which houses gymnasiums, ice and heat baths, modern technological football facilities, as well as football pitch covered by an inflatable dome.

Through the clubs first era '''Souvlaki Stadium''' was the home to Sparta, and reached a maximum capacity of 40,000 seats in its lifetime. It formerly went under the names of ''Crapena Arena'' (during the Super Duds XI period) and ''TVGH Stadium'' (during the TAS/VIC Greek Heroes period). It boasted one of the best turfs in the Victorian region. The stadium had four stands, coloured seats and roofs to match the team colours, and four distinctive light towers in each corner of the stadium. The Spartan Army positioned themselves at the bottom tier of the northern Florian Gunn Stand during home matches. (named after former goalkeeper Florian Gunn). The eastern stand was named the ''Sebastian Ocampo Wing'' after the famous winger, the southern stand was known as the ''Franklin Giannopoulos End'' after the legendary striker, and the western stand was named after ''Jokitalo Wing'' after club champion Mikko Jokitalo.

During the clubs very brief second era, the team moved to a makeshift field which had hops to have a proper stadium built upon it. They had named it ''Mikko Jokitalo Park'' which didn't last long once the club folded for a second time. To not dishonour club legend Mikko Jokitalo by tearing down the small park in his name, it is expected for the club to name a section of Sherryfield after the fullback once it is expanded upon.

== Sponsors ==
Dynamo Sparta had two major sponsors throughout it's first era. JICK3, a now defunct company run by owner and chairman Jordan Kounelis, was the main organisation that owned the club. Given the tight knot the club and company formed, the kit sponsor instead went to Sony. Sparta's kit supplier was Nike, and other minor sponsors include CREATIVE, Vodafone, and the Herald Sun.

Through the second era, the club formed and disbanded so quickly it didn't acquire sufficient sponsors in enough time. This was an influence in the clubs second premature end.

Thanks to better preparation, Kounelis was able to bring upon more sponsors to help see Sparta through its third era. Sponsors closer to Dynamo Sparta's community came on board with worldwide bank leader OmniBank (based in Sparta's location) joining forces with the club as the teams major shirt sponsor, as well as automobile manufacturer Ascent taking the space on the back of the clubs kits. Rouge breweries and the Phire sports drink companies came on board before the commencement of season 42 and will sponsors the club in minor roles. Umbro has taken over from Nike as kit manufacturer.

== Fan Support ==
Coming from the city of Melbourne, sports capital of the world, there is no doubting the passion and energy the fan club has. They call themselves "The Gladiators", which has derived from them being part of the "Spartan Army". The Gladiators are the most one-eyed, hardcore fans in any series. During matches, "The Gladiators" will usually bring loud instruments such as drums, horns, trumpets, and tambourines, along with various other instruments, to games to create an awesome atmosphere and intimidate the opposition. The Gladiators always have high hopes for the club, and it won't matter where the team are placed on the table, they will always have hope the team can pull off a victory.

Having made the bottom tier of the Gunn Stand their own, you will always find the near-2000 odd members creating a ruckas on game day. The leader of the Gladiators - the ever friendly Michalis Christopoulos - is always seen with his Hoplite helmet on, and signature bugle being blown into, leading the Gladiators in battle. Just before the kick-off to a home match, he (Michalis) will blow his trumpet and lead the fan club and home fans into a battle cry to pump up the crowd, rev up the team, and create a roaring atmosphere.

== Rivalry ==
Perhaps the strongest rivalry Dynamo Sparta have is that with cross-town rival '''[[VS Vlissingen]]'''. The teams share a strong, yet special, rivalry because the clubs managers are best of friends, but are very competitive when it comes to the crunch. The '''Melbourne Hurricanes''' and Sparta also share a fierce rivalry for the same reason, but the stakes aren't as high when Sparta face the Hurricanes. When Sparta were in VI.897 for the number of season that they were, the Dynamo Sparta vs '''The Scholars''' match was always a dubbed the low-level "Victorian Derby".

== Hall of Fame ==
''The Dynamo Sparta FC Hall of Fame'' was opened on the 9th of February 2010, when long-time centre back Timmy Brooker was retired into the Hall of Fame, and was the first Hall of Fame inductee. Soon after, legendary coach Leon Christensen and long-serving fullback Dave Arnull were inducted. The most recent member to be inducted into the Hall of Fame is centre-back Arthur Poore.

Following the clubs disbandment at the conclusion of season 31, the Hall of Fame became defunct and a new Hall of Fame was required when the club was revived for its third era at the beginning of season 42. The old Hall of Famers were inducted immediately, and were joined by new inductees on the day the club received its third licence.

The current list of players in the Hall of Fame is here:

[[Image:DSFC Manager.png|thumb|right|100px|[[User:Jordan1|Jordan1]]]]
'''Manager''' - [[User:Jordan1|Jordan1]] {{Flag|OCE}} 
Jordan1 learned about Hattrick through a few friends who work at a Melbourne-based radio station. Jordan received his team on the 14th of January, 2008, and named his first ever squad "Super Dud XI", but after two months, changed the team name to "TAS/VIC Greek Heroes". The youth squad remained as Super Duds Youth Academy, and will remain that way through the next (and last) name name change to "Dynamo Sparta FC". He, along with his team of coaches and trainers, have devloped, bought, and played a wide variety of players from various countries, and training them into the players needed for the team's style of play. Jordan has received his managers licence, and now aims to win the VI.897 league title again, after winning it first in season 23 (34).

 
Sparta have a very big board of technical staff for the players, with experience coming from all over the world, helping the manager and coaches improve the playing squad. Past players from the club such as Florian Gunn, Sebastian Ocampo, Omiros Charitopoulos, and Sam Ackroyd have joined the board, and they know how the club functions from being here seasons ago.

'''Dynamo Sparta Football Club''' (often simply known as '''Sparta''') are a Hattrick football club based in the city Melbourne, Australia and compete under the Oceanian flag. Sparta have been one of Oceania's most historically rich and loyally supported clubs, despite suffering several hardships in more recent times. They play in series VI.6 and have won 3 league championships.

Sparta were founded in 2008 and were the first of the ''Kew High'' group to participate in competitive Hattrick. They won their first trophy in their inaugural season of competition (Oceanian season 23) but were not promoted due to falling behind the promotion boundary. After a downfall period in the seasons following, Sparta hit great heights in season 30 earning promotion to division V and claiming their second trophy.

Dynamo Sparta have had two stadiums throughout their history; the first being Crapena Arena, which was renamed Souvlaki Stadium at it's reconstruction to a 40,000 seat capacity. Since the club folded in 2010, Souvlaki Stadium was knocked down; but at the revival of the club at the end of 2013 a new stadium was built to signify new beginnings for the club, and the club thus moved to Sherryfield Road.

Sparta have a loyal and energetic fanbase having boasted some of the best atmospheres in Oceanian football thanks to their Spartan Army fanbase. The club is owned and chaired by media personality Jordan Kounelis.

== History ==
=== Founding ===
Dynamo Sparta was founded on the 14th of January, 2008 as '''Super Dud XI'''. The team was born at the end of season 23 in a Division V series and were relegated into VI.897 almost instantaneously. Immediately after the relegation the club changed its name to '''TAS/VIC Greek Heroes''' and was known as this name for a further year. The TAS/VIC Greek Heroes (or simply TVGH) struggled for several seasons to find their way out of division VI, finishing between 2nd and 4th on multiple occasions. The clubs group of supporters were becoming increasingly frustrated at the teams inability to gain promotion, despite showing promise for several seasons, but falling short on many occasions. Pressure was being applied from fans and sponsors alike, and this pressure eventually culminated into an event known as ''The Transfer Period.''

=== Rejuvination & "The Transfer Period" ===
After many seasons of trying to win the VI.897 title and get their way back up to division V the team went under a serious reconstruction period. At the end of the season 26 the club officially changed its name to '''Dynamo Sparta F.C.'''. ''The Transfer Period'' was a landmark event in the clubs history. The period only lasted for a week yet it had a big influence on the clubs reputation. Several fledgling new clubs made it clear that they were interested in some of Sparta's older, more experienced players who were surplus to requirements at the now renamed Souvlaki Stadium. The clubs board had been pressuring the coaching department to buy new players and sell old ones to help bolster the squad. Manager Jordan1 saw this as a great opportunity to rid the club of it's unwanted players, lighten the heavy load of 37 players as well as inject some flair and youth into the bland squad. A large quantity of players were sold, footballers from countries such as Finland, Brazil, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Poland, the Netherlands and Germany were all purchased to help inject the squad with international quality and Dynamo were finally left with a comfortable 25 players. In the eyes of the fans, this marked the moment that Dynamo Sparta became a club to contend with.

=== A New Beginning ===
"A New Beginning" is the slogan that DSFC will be used at the beginning of season 29. The club beleived that this was the time to rise up. The beleif amongst the team with a refreshed squad, new coach, and a more structured board, Dynamo Sparta only have one direction to head in. Up. The injection of leadership bolstered the spine of the team. The club chairman, owner and manager, Jordan1, came out and said "Now is the time for Sparta to rise up, and we are very serious about winning the league championship. We know we have been talking up promotion for a number of seasons now, but this time we have actually done something about it."

=== Season 29 ===
Season 29 was a very successful year for the club. The stadium, Souvlaki Stadium, went under a 10,000 seat addition, which has been very successful. The club has around $12m to splash on buying new players, coaches and upgrades. The team got off to a slow start, but eventually went on an amazing winning streak, only to be cut short by the top team on the table, IC FC. The team finished 2nd on the table, 7 points behind first. A lot of people around the club were pleased, and are now aiming for season 30 to bring them promotion.

Mikko Jokitalo had an outstanding season, hitting the first 5-star performance for any player at the club. Fili Rutland was the most consistent striker for the year. Herb Fitzpatrick scored his 50th career goal, and 3 member were inducted into the Hal of Fame; these were former coach Leon Christensen, great leader Timmy Brooker, and legendary wingback Dave Arnull. Brock Bradley is the next in line for Hall of Fame induction.

== Colours and Crest ==
The club's colours have traditionally been navy blue and gold, which symbolise the clubs heritage base of Europe as well as the culture of triumph, respectively. The home strip is navy blue and gold vertical stripes, gold shorts, and the gold and navy blue hooped socks. The away strip is white with a diagonal navy blue sash and diagonal stripes, navy blue shorts, and white and navy blue hooped socks.

The club has had one logo under the name Dynamo Sparta, and it was templated from Sparta Prague's logo, with whom they share similar names with. The logo consists of a circle which contains blue and gold stripes and the letters "DS" in black text; this is bordered by a white band that reads ''"Dynamo Sparta Football Club"'' in red text within it. The logo also has a skirt underneath which is split into three section, and simply harbor the clubs colours: navy blue, gold and navy blue again.

[[Image:DSFC SP.PNG|thumb|left|200px|Souvlaki Park]]
'''Souvlaki Stadium''' (formerly known as ''Crapena Arena'' and ''TVGH Stadium'') is the home to Dynamo Sparta. It holds a capacity of 30,000, and has one of the best turfs in the Victorian region. The stadium used to have an all around set-up, but was later built to have bigger stands to hold more fans in the one area, so the north and south stands were taken down, and the east and west stands were expanded. Another reconstruction took place to expand the stadium to 27,000, and then again to 30,000. The stadiums stands, seats and roofs have been coloured in the teams colours. The layout of the stadium is an all-around (bar the corners). In the corners are the stadium's four famous light towers.

At the bottom tier of the northern stand is where the fan club "The Gladiators" position themselves for matches. That whole stand is named the ''Gunn Stand'', after former keeper Florian Gunn. The eastern wing is named the ''Ocampo Wing'' after Sebastian Ocampo, the clubs former winger. The southern stand is known as the ''Giannopoulos End'', after the current, and legendary striker, Franklin Giannopoulos. And finally, the west wing is named after maybe the best and most talented player to set foot on the turf of the SS - Mikko Jokitalo, the ''Jokitalo Wing''.

Outside the stadium, directly next to it, is '''Souvlaki Park''', which holds 300 seats. Each stand hold 50 people. The "SP" is the home ground for the Super Duds Youth Squad and Academy. Behind both the Souvlaki Stadium, and the Souvlaki Park is '''Pita Paddock''', the training ground to both Dynamo Sparta and Super Duds Youth Squad. Adjacent to Pita Paddock, you will find the '''T&A Indoor''' facilities, which includes the gymnasium, swimming pools, saunas and ice baths. T&A stands for ''Tzatziki kai Arni'', which is greek for Tzatziki and Lamb. This name was chosen for the indoor facilities because inside a souvlaki is lamb and tzatziki.

== Sponsors ==
Dynamo Sparta has two major sponsors, SONY and JICK3. Their kit sponsor and supplier is Nike, and other minor sponsors include CREATIVE, Vodafone, and the Herald Sun. JICK3 is the company created and owned by Jordan Kounelis. JICK3 provide the club with sponsorship money, and having Jordan1 managing, owning and running the club, Dynamo Sparta and JICK3 have a very tight, unbreakable relationship. This, therefore, means that the second major sponsor, SONY, gets the shirt sponsor rights.

|}

== Fan Support ==
Coming from the city of Melbourne, sports capital of the world, there is no doubting the passion and energy the fan club has. They call themselves "The Gladiators", which has derived from them being part of the "Spartan Army". The Gladiators are the most one-eyed, hardcore fans in any series. During matches, "The Gladiators" will usually bring loud instruments such as drums, horns, trumpets, and tambourines, along with various other instruments, to games to create an awesome atmosphere and intimidate the opposition. The Gladiators always have high hopes for the club, and it won't matter where the team are placed on the table, they will always have hope the team can pull off a victory.

Having made the bottom tier of the Gunn Stand their own, you will always find the near-2000 odd members creating a ruckas on game day. The leader of the Gladiators - the ever friendly Michalis Christopoulos - is always seen with his Hoplite helmet on, and signature bugle being blown into, leading the Gladiators in battle. Just before the kick-off to a home match, he (Michalis) will blow his trumpet and lead the fan club and home fans into a battle cry to pump up the crowd, rev up the team, and create a roaring atmosphere.

== Rivalry ==
Perhaps the strongest rivalry Dynamo Sparta have is that with cross-town rival '''[[VS Vlissingen]]'''. The teams share a strong, yet special, rivalry because the clubs managers are best of friends, but are very competitive when it comes to the crunch. The '''Melbourne Hurricanes''' and Sparta also share a fierce rivalry for the same reason, but the stakes aren't as high when Sparta face the Hurricanes. When Sparta were in VI.897 for the number of season that they were, the Dynamo Sparta vs '''The Scholars''' match was always a dubbed the low-level "Victorian Derby".

'''Manager''' - [[User:Jordan1|Jordan1]] {{Flag|OCE}} 
Jordan1 learned about Hattrick through a few friends who work at a Melbourne-based radio station. Jordan received his team on the 14th of January, 2008, and named his first ever squad "Super Dud XI", but after two months, changed the team name to "TAS/VIC Greek Heroes". The youth squad remained as Super Duds Youth Academy, and will remain that way through the next (and last) name name change to "Dynamo Sparta FC". He, along with his team of coaches and trainers, have devloped, bought, and played a wide variety of players from various countries, and training them into the players needed for the team's style of play. Jordan has received his managers licence, and now aims to win the VI.897 league title again, after winning it first in season 23 (34).

'''Dynamo Sparta Football Club''' (often simply known as '''Sparta''') are a Hattrick football club based in the city Melbourne, Australia and compete under the Oceanian flag. Sparta have been one of Oceania's most historically rich and loyally supported clubs, despite suffering several hardships in more recent times. They play in series VI.6 and have won 3 league championships.

Sparta were founded in 2008 and were the first of the ''Kew High'' group to participate in competitive Hattrick. They won their first trophy in their inaugural season of competition (Oceanian season 23) but were not promoted due to falling behind the promotion boundary. After a downfall period in the seasons following, Sparta hit great heights in season 30 earning promotion to division V and claiming their second trophy.

Dynamo Sparta have had two stadiums throughout their history; the first being Crapena Arena, which was renamed Souvlaki Stadium at it's reconstruction to a 40,000 seat capacity. Since the club folded in 2010, Souvlaki Stadium was knocked down; but at the revival of the club at the end of 2013 a new stadium was built to signify new beginnings for the club, and the club thus moved to Sherryfield Road.

Sparta have a loyal and energetic fanbase having boasted some of the best atmospheres in Oceanian football thanks to their Spartan Army fanbase. The club is owned and chaired by media personality Jordan Kounelis.

== History ==
=== Founding ===
Dynamo Sparta was founded on the 14th of January, 2008 as '''Super Dud XI'''. The team was born at the end of season 23 in a Division V series and were relegated into VI.897 almost instantaneously. Immediately after the relegation the club changed its name to '''TAS/VIC Greek Heroes''' and was known as this name for a further year. The TAS/VIC Greek Heroes (or simply TVGH) struggled for several seasons to find their way out of division VI, finishing between 2nd and 4th on multiple occasions. The clubs group of supporters were becoming increasingly frustrated at the teams inability to gain promotion, despite showing promise for several seasons, but falling short on many occasions. Pressure was being applied from fans and sponsors alike, and this pressure eventually culminated into an event known as ''The Transfer Period.''

=== Rejuvination & "The Transfer Period" ===
After many seasons of trying to win the VI.897 title and get their way back up to division V the team went under a serious reconstruction period. At the end of the season 26 the club officially changed its name to '''Dynamo Sparta F.C.'''. ''The Transfer Period'' was a landmark event in the clubs history. The period only lasted for a week yet it had a big influence on the clubs reputation. Several fledgling new clubs made it clear that they were interested in some of Sparta's older, more experienced players who were surplus to requirements at the now renamed Souvlaki Stadium. The clubs board had been pressuring the coaching department to buy new players and sell old ones to help bolster the squad. Manager Jordan1 saw this as a great opportunity to rid the club of it's unwanted players, lighten the heavy load of 37 players as well as inject some flair and youth into the bland squad. A large quantity of players were sold, footballers from countries such as Finland, Brazil, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Poland, the Netherlands and Germany were all purchased to help inject the squad with international quality and Dynamo were finally left with a comfortable 25 players. In the eyes of the fans, this marked the moment that Dynamo Sparta became a club to contend with.

=== A New Beginning ===
"A New Beginning" is the slogan that DSFC will be used at the beginning of season 29. The club beleived that this was the time to rise up. The beleif amongst the team with a refreshed squad, new coach, and a more structured board, Dynamo Sparta only have one direction to head in. Up. The injection of leadership bolstered the spine of the team. The club chairman, owner and manager, Jordan1, came out and said "Now is the time for Sparta to rise up, and we are very serious about winning the league championship. We know we have been talking up promotion for a number of seasons now, but this time we have actually done something about it."

=== Season 29 ===
Season 29 was a very successful year for the club. The stadium, Souvlaki Stadium, went under a 10,000 seat addition, which has been very successful. The club has around $12m to splash on buying new players, coaches and upgrades. The team got off to a slow start, but eventually went on an amazing winning streak, only to be cut short by the top team on the table, IC FC. The team finished 2nd on the table, 7 points behind first. A lot of people around the club were pleased, and are now aiming for season 30 to bring them promotion.

Mikko Jokitalo had an outstanding season, hitting the first 5-star performance for any player at the club. Fili Rutland was the most consistent striker for the year. Herb Fitzpatrick scored his 50th career goal, and 3 member were inducted into the Hal of Fame; these were former coach Leon Christensen, great leader Timmy Brooker, and legendary wingback Dave Arnull. Brock Bradley is the next in line for Hall of Fame induction.

== Colours and Crest ==
The club's colours have traditionally been blue and gold, which were randomlly picked colours, and also features red and white. The home strip is blue and gold stripes with red shoulders, the shorts are gold with a blue band around the right leg, and the socks are gold and blue striped with a red top. The away strip is mainly white with a blue sash outlined gold, stretching from the left shoulder to the right hip, with gold shoulders. The shorts are red with a blue and gold right hand pocket, and the socks are white and blue striped. The teams colours were chosen at random; although the blue may symbolise Europe, the continent where Sparta is located - in Greece - and gold for triumph. The teams name was chosen to use Sparta in it, as that is where the managers - [[User:Jordan1|Jordan1]] - origins are based.

The club has only ever had one logo. It was templated from Sparta Prague's logo, even though Sparta Prague is a team from Prague, Czech Republic - not Sparta, Greece. The logo consists of a circle, which has the words ''"Dynamo Sparta Football"'' around the outside, and the word "CLUB" underneath it. All text is red with a blue stroke. Inside the circle, there are blue and gold stripes, with the two letters "DS" in it. "DS" is obviously for '''''D'''ynamo '''S'''parta''. The logo also has a skirt underneath the word "CLUB", which has been broken up into three parts, which consists of the clubs colours: Blue (on the left and right section), and Gold (in the middle section).

'''Souvlaki Stadium''' (formerly known as ''Crapena Arena'' and ''TVGH Stadium'') is the home to Dynamo Sparta. It holds a capacity of 30,000, and has one of the best turfs in the Victorian region. The stadium used to have an all around set-up, but was later built to have bigger stands to hold more fans in the one area, so the north and south stands were taken down, and the east and west stands were expanded. Another reconstruction took place to expand the stadium to 27,000, and then again to 30,000. The stadiums stands, seats and roofs have been coloured in the teams colours. The layout of the stadium is an all-around (bar the corners). In the corners are the stadium's four famous light towers.

At the bottom tier of the northern stand is where the fan club "The Gladiators" position themselves for matches. That whole stand is named the ''Gunn Stand'', after former keeper Florian Gunn. The eastern wing is named the ''Ocampo Wing'' after Sebastian Ocampo, the clubs former winger. The southern stand is known as the ''Giannopoulos End'', after the current, and legendary striker, Franklin Giannopoulos. And finally, the west wing is named after maybe the best and most talented player to set foot on the turf of the SS - Mikko Jokitalo, the ''Jokitalo Wing''.

Outside the stadium, directly next to it, is '''Souvlaki Park''', which holds 300 seats. Each stand hold 50 people. The "SP" is the home ground for the Super Duds Youth Squad and Academy. Behind both the Souvlaki Stadium, and the Souvlaki Park is '''Pita Paddock''', the training ground to both Dynamo Sparta and Super Duds Youth Squad. Adjacent to Pita Paddock, you will find the '''T&A Indoor''' facilities, which includes the gymnasium, swimming pools, saunas and ice baths. T&A stands for ''Tzatziki kai Arni'', which is greek for Tzatziki and Lamb. This name was chosen for the indoor facilities because inside a souvlaki is lamb and tzatziki.

== Sponsors ==
Dynamo Sparta has two major sponsors, SONY and JICK3. Their kit sponsor and supplier is Nike, and other minor sponsors include CREATIVE, Vodafone, and the Herald Sun. JICK3 is the company created and owned by Jordan Kounelis. JICK3 provide the club with sponsorship money, and having Jordan1 managing, owning and running the club, Dynamo Sparta and JICK3 have a very tight, unbreakable relationship. This, therefore, means that the second major sponsor, SONY, gets the shirt sponsor rights.

== Fan Support ==
Coming from the city of Melbourne, sports capital of the world, there is no doubting the passion and energy the fan club has. They call themselves "The Gladiators", which has derived from them being part of the "Spartan Army". The Gladiators are the most one-eyed, hardcore fans in any series. During matches, "The Gladiators" will usually bring loud instruments such as drums, horns, trumpets, and tambourines, along with various other instruments, to games to create an awesome atmosphere and intimidate the opposition. The Gladiators always have high hopes for the club, and it won't matter where the team are placed on the table, they will always have hope the team can pull off a victory.

Having made the bottom tier of the Gunn Stand their own, you will always find the near-2000 odd members creating a ruckas on game day. The leader of the Gladiators - the ever friendly Michalis Christopoulos - is always seen with his Hoplite helmet on, and signature bugle being blown into, leading the Gladiators in battle. Just before the kick-off to a home match, he (Michalis) will blow his trumpet and lead the fan club and home fans into a battle cry to pump up the crowd, rev up the team, and create a roaring atmosphere.

== Rivalry ==
Perhaps the strongest rivalry Dynamo Sparta have is that with cross-town rival '''[[VS Vlissingen]]'''. The teams share a strong, yet special, rivalry because the clubs managers are best of friends, but are very competitive when it comes to the crunch. The '''Melbourne Hurricanes''' and Sparta also share a fierce rivalry for the same reason, but the stakes aren't as high when Sparta face the Hurricanes. When Sparta were in VI.897 for the number of season that they were, the Dynamo Sparta vs '''The Scholars''' match was always a dubbed the low-level "Victorian Derby".

== Hall of Fame ==
''The Dynamo Sparta FC Hall of Fame'' was opened on the 9th of February 2010, when long-time centre back Timmy Brooker was retired into the Hall of Fame, and was the first Hall of Fame inductee. Soon after, legendary coach Leon Christensen, and long-serving fullback Dave Arnull were inducted. The most recent member to be inducted into the Hall of Fame is centre-back Arthur Poore. The Hall of Fame is exclusive to the legends of the club where former players and coaches get inducted into.

[[Image:DSFC Manager.png|thumb|right|100px|[[User:Jordan1|Jordan1]]]]
'''Manager''' - [[User:Jordan1|Jordan1]] {{Flag|OCE}} 
Jordan1 learned about Hattrick through a few friends who work at a Melbourne-based radio station. Jordan received his team on the 14th of January, 2008, and named his first ever squad "Super Dud XI", but after two months, changed the team name to "TAS/VIC Greek Heroes". The youth squad remained as Super Duds Youth Academy, and will remain that way through the next (and last) name name change to "Dynamo Sparta FC". He, along with his team of coaches and trainers, have devloped, bought, and played a wide variety of players from various countries, and training them into the players needed for the team's style of play. Jordan has received his managers licence, and now aims to win the VI.897 league title again, after winning it first in season 23 (34).

[[File:Ss (2012-11-20 at 11.05.18).png|thumb|left|100px|Franck Krauße]]'''Coach''' - Franck Krauße {{Flag|GER}} 
Franck Krauße was recruited on 18 November 2012. He is from Hoffenheim, Germany, and is a well rounded coach. As the inaugural coach of the relaunched Dynamo Sparta F.C., Krauße had a lot to manage in his first season.

[[File:Jarradkellow.png|thumb|left|100px|Jared Kellow]]'''Assistant Coach''' - Jared Kellow {{Flag|OCE}} 
Jared Kellow was the first coach of the relaunched Dynamo Sparta F.C. An attacking coach, he held an interim position for 10 days until the club hired its first full-time coach on, Franck Krauße.

 
Sparta have a very big board of technical staff for the players, with experience coming from all over the world, helping the manager and coaches improve the playing squad. Past players from the club such as Florian Gunn, Sebastian Ocampo, Omiros Charitopoulos, and Sam Ackroyd have joined the board, and they know how the club functions from being here seasons ago.
