the sydney teams would have to play the melbourne teams so there wouldn't be derbies every week.
Anything is a derby if you want to market as such. The Distance Derby, ffs.
The Big Blue - SFC vs MV
The not originals derby - WSW vs MC
The Sky Blue vs Sky Blue Wannabe Derby - SFC vs MC
Former Socceroo Centre Back Turned Coach Derby - WSW vs MV
Sorted.

poorly, no and no. I'd love it, but at the moment I don't see it working. plus the investors they had lined up all got jack of waiting and put their money elsewhere.
I hear no-one lives there is summer....
would a combined Wollongong Canberra team work.....
Not sure what you base those claims on.
about 100k difference in population if you are to include from the Burgh to Shellharbour.
The Wolves home crowds more often than not were no less than some of the teams playing in the Burbs of other major cities during the old NSL days.
I think you could forecast/budget for a season average of around 8.5k . 7.5k for home matches against inteterstate opp and somewhere in the region of 12k against other NSW based teams.
WIN Stadium is a reasonable place to get to by public transport all hours of the day and early evening.
Maybe i am a little bias being an old Wolves supporter myself but i would rather see the Wolves return in there own right or just as pleased to see a team from Canberra retrurn to the National comp.
All IMO of course.
Why would they?
Geez guys am I the only person thinking outside the damn circle round here?
just get the epl to kickoff at reasonable times and rebadge all the graphics so people think theyre watching Australian football
IMO Gong > Canberra.
I just do not believe the regional teams are the best idea for the next phase of expansion. I think IF you COULD figure out how to work a Shire/Gong Hybrid AND get everyone engaged then that is ideal. I think a Wolves team would max average 7k a season and cannot see how this is profitable long term as the region is not going to grow population wise a massive amount. I see the Macarthur/Camden/Campbelltown/Liverpool region as the one to push ahead with. Far enough away from the City and Parra whilst having a large population already and also being the fastest growing population area in Australia.
Agree with the Nix getting the arse though. Unless the NZFA kick in a few million a year and SkyTV do the same we are effectively subsidizing NZ football development
Here's an Idea from left field.
Leave Nix where they are, get the NZ government, Sky TV and NZ Football to start spending a bit of money.
With that money finance Auckland City to join the A-League along with this Southern Sydney club in 2017.
2020 we bring in Western Pride (Ipswich) or Brisbane Strikers with Wollongong Wolves and wallah you have a 14 team competition A-League.
Dubbo
Not as silly as it seems. Pretty sure football followers from Parkes, Forbes , Wello , Mudgee and Orange would make the effort every second week.
Teams can stay at Emmo's in laws motel in Dubbo.

Wasn't a joke suggestion.
No national league has a truly regional/country presence.
Would help knock rugby league in arse out in the bush.
Would be hard to get footballers to move to a "remote" town though.
Geelong would be worth considering.
Hunter Hawks, would give the Jets a real derby

"**** off the lot of you, especially you Arnie. Pay attention to coaching, you twat"
I think that's how it translates.
With a great crowd for the FFA Cup game down in the Gong, there seems to be a groundswell of support for Wolves to get a licence sooner rather than later. Would be nice for either Canberra or a 2nd Brisbane team to get the second new licence as well.
Interesting to see this article pop up today too, although I think it's way too soon for another Perth team
