The reason we can barely sustain an A-League team, just like many other markets in Australia, is not because the people aren't there, it's because 70+ % of the football community don't find it interesting, engaging, or fun. Franchised 'clubs' with no soul and no community connection, who cares.
Although, as far as I knew, it was Edgy that were the likely inclusion.
