Not the same. They already had relegation for ages before the PL stepped away from the FA, there's no way they could have gotten away with removing it.Quote:

We would not exist IMO if relegation was in from the startQuote:

ACT bid announce Ron Smith as head of football. They've also gone past 5,000 foundation members - but it's a free membership at this stage, so it's not really a commitment in my mind.
bid day...
canberra gets some government cash: https://www.canberratimes.com.au/spo...30-p500po.html
canberra learning from AFC wimbeldon: https://www.canberratimes.com.au/spo...30-p500pt.html
key aspects of Canberra's will be:
- A lucrative funding deal with the government and significant support from the Canberra business community.
- A "50 plus one" ownership model which will see members retain overall control of operations. They already have 7000 members.
- AFC Wimbledon, the most successful fan-owned club in the United Kingdom, chief operating officer Joe Palmer has joined Canberra's advisory board.
- Famed youth coach and former Socceroos interim boss Ron Smith has signed as the club's head of football.
- An existing stadium that has no other content for summer. Most bids do not have a stadium.
i'm quite excited by this and getting quite hopeful of them succeeding. i await the inevitable crushing feeling of devastation and disappointment when FFA announce expansion teams in sydney and melbourne.
Canberra would be a more exciting prospect, but the dollar signs for FFA in Sydney/Melbourne teams will be too hard to pass up.
Meanwhile, Southern Expansion seems to have thankfully died in the arse, and Wolves dropped off the radar :(
The merging of the SW Sydney and Macarthur bids thankfully looked to have killed the abomination that was Southern Expansion. Disappointing about Wolves though but can only see one team from NSW getting in this time.Quote:

Hope they let South in
Better to have a real club in there than another souless plastic franchise
Also be good if the no ethnics thing was banished and we can all start the reconciliation
I actually agree with MFKP here
I'd prefer to see South Melbourne and Canberra in
I expect neither to get the nod though
Southern Expansion died with Les...RIP
My only issue with South Melbourne is that there is no geographical difference between them Victory and City.Quote:

They should have been admitted when Heart got put inQuote:

South have there own support which they can immeadiately add to the League
Where the hell are the rest of these New Dawn blow in Franchises from Melbourne getting support??
Only stealing it from Heart or Victree anyway
Thanks for your reverting thoughts, however nothing of what you said alleviates my concern about South Melbourne having no geographical difference between Victory and City.Quote:

1 down.
After reading the Brisbane City press release and what they mention about consultation with FFA I think the Ipswich bid maybe a real chance.
