Nope. It's already been done. See the footer. Grim cracked the joke when we signed Billy CeleskiQuote:

And where have I ever said I don't expect us to be competitive? I think Miller has put together a very competitive side, but that doesn't seem enough for some people.Quote:

Can shove a competitive side you know where.
Top 4 is where it is at.
Time for Millertime to lead us to the ACL as anything less is a failure
The people who expect them to win every game aren't looking at it as in "we have to win 27 matches"... They are looking at is as in we should be able to beat every side in the Comp (and by that I don't mean finish the season with nine wins). no side has ever won every game in the a league and most likely it'll never happen. But settling for being mediocre is why we are in this situation which "some "fans"" label as an excuse to settle for mediocre. If we don't break the cycle of it then it will keep being an excuse and we'll never cheer our team in a finals match.Quote:

Guess that's why I've always wanted the Jets to be a bunch of 12 year olds living in their mums basement making poop jokes and laughing at all the hot takes on the Internet all the while being hilariously funny and dashingly handsome.Quote:

Hopefully we take this challenge seriously and play well to get good media coverage for our owner in his own backyard, that may bring the rewards the team needs in terms of future funding especially of a few marquees. I'd be far more worried if we don't put on a good show and get the publicity over there, the sheen might wear off Martin's new investment and he may become more cautious about his ACL dreams and what we are worth. FFA Cup is meaningless against this tour, even if we won the Cup interest would be zero in China and that's where our owner has his primary focus, but some good play to surprise the Chinese football media and win them over could shape our future chances of getting the funding to even begin to get on a level playing field with the Melbourne and Sydney clubs
And yet I seem to recall Adelaide being the benchmark of the competition not Sydney or Melbourne clubs. Amazing how FFA and media marketing strategies makes so many of us oblivious to the facts [myself included].Quote:

Merrick did all the hard work in convincing Rojas to return to the A-League, now he shits in Ernie's helmet and goes to Victory.
Marco is an arsehole*.
* uninformed, internet opinion
Great signing for them, he absolutely tore the league up last time he played.
Victory looking good once again. They lose Finkler and Kosta, pick up Troisi and Rojas. Not a bad trade really!
Their issue is once again going to be their defence
17 goals in 71 appearances for Rojas. However, he scored 15 of them in the 2012/2013 season playing for Melbourne Victory. Since that he's struggled with injuries and been punted by every team he's played for. So one good season and piss poor before and after.Quote:

Troisi though is a great signing for any club.
surely a team that failed in this year's FFA Cup cannot be considered a benchmark can it???... :popcorn: anyways, I mean teams with unlimited wallets, that's what I'd really like to see us compete with... ;)Quote:

Because if the plan is to go back to Breakers Stadium then the club needs its head read unless Ledman is planning on building us a proper ground out there
What I have heard is that the plan is for,Quote:

maybe before flying off the handle - you might try reading the article that answers all of your questions.Quote:

I think as a training ground and headquarters it may be OK, but I'm not nostalgic for the old days, no parking, no viable public transport, marshland and mozzies, probably totally unsuitable to expand the site due to no parking and surrounded by swampland, in reality it could only ever be a makeshift base
Yes, they are thinking about it becoming a training base, youth and women's home ground.Quote:

Once you remove the dog track and turf it, there is a lot of extra space that opens up. Probably not two full pitches though.
----edit----
Just took a few dimensions of six maps, you could put two pitches in there running eats/west is they went to the outside extremities of the dog track. It would be tight, but it could happen.

So what do they do when it floods, like March/April? :DQuote:

VJ! how's the paddlesteamer plan going?
Anyone a bit older remembers there used to be two fields there before the NSL days - no doubt they can add another. Never known it to be flooded despite where it is.
Possibility for a 5000 capacity ground with a training field added. Has a club, bar, restaurant and offices. Sounds great for a base and smaller games. Parking a bitch but again you can get by for those smaller games.
It was ~1m under earlier this year matey.Quote:

What's a planner doing using SIX maps? :pQuote:

I'd rather the club use some common sense and look to places like district park, enough open space and much closer to the stadium, with available commercial spaces near by for a small office. Hunter Venues had grand plans to transform the area surrounding the stadium, create a home there where it is central, has parking and has public transport access nearby.
Apart from that idea, look to the city centre.
Spot on Pico. Buy the tenzo too, have a homebase for fans close to stadium.
