3rd Sydney team has been a concept since Schwabb wrote his manifesto on a beer napkin when the nsl was dying.

Can you imagine the carnage at a WSW vs South's derby game?

be forced to get to that
Gallop has always said the FFA will fish where fish are. Even if those are retarded fish.. anyone who thinks otherwise has rocks in their head. It'll be from a major city.
Not really a loss for the league if Nux go and are replaced by a substainable team from the south coast. Means that all 10 clubs will have a Youth team, and all 10 should have a women's team as well, instead of this current bs where Nux don't have either and are allowed to have more foreigners than any other a league side.

did gold coast die because palmer killed it before it was born or because it just wont work....
half decent owner things could be very different???
this is an AFC thing though isn't it, wrapped up to look like a financial decision
australia still has no promotion/relegation, no real second division, and don't have the clout like the english do to get around the fact that a side in their competition comes from outside it's own FA , plus straya are still on the nose with a bloc of the gulf states who are pissed about losing perceived gift WC spots
All along it has been down to Wellington belonging to a different confederation (Oceania). It will be embarrassing should they win the A-League as they cannot compete in the ACL.
Agreed but Shire is not the place in Sydney to be putting a team. Liverpool/Macarthur/Campbelltown is the fastest growing population base in Australia and it's a ****ing nightmare to get to Moore Park or Parra from there. Team based there is the best bet out of Campbelltown Stadium or eventually the new proposed stadium in Liverpool (which the Wests Tigers NRL are looking at). In addition it is also less than an hour from the Gong to Campbelltown meaning if you market there as well/put on some transport you could pick up a section of support from that region too.
You got buckleys and none chance of anybody from Wollongong travelling to C/town to support a side. They will not support a side from the Shire either.
Being an old Steelers and Wollongong Wolves supporter before moving here over 20yrs ago the Gong does not identify itself with any of these regions sporting or otherwise.
I have a lot of family associated with the game in the Gong ( W/gong, SC Wolves ) and all are Smurf supporters and unless a team was to be admitted that was totally representative of the Gong/ South Coast and the Gong only you would not get them to swing away from the smurfs to follow some hybrid creation between C/town or the Shire.
They surely wouldn't want to get a South Coast team and a Southern Sydney team in at the same time. It would just be diluting the fan base of Sydney even more.
If the Nix on the outer and say a South Coast team does replace them, we are still at 10 teams and not any closer to satisfying the AFC's requirements.
Could be a trade off though, turf NZ and we'll give you another few years for expansion.
