Club Ties

The club maintains tenuous links to Crystal Palace via a bi-annual Australian based supporters trip.

Sadly after 7 years without loss in front of these loyal fans, season 2013 bore witness to a 0–1 loss to Noble Park. The supporters trip has now not seen CHU score for in excess of 300 minutes.

There is also a mutual relationship with Heidelberg United due to the Greek Heritage of both clubs.
