2nd New Zealand Club possibly on the cards from O'Rourke.

Interesting thing I found from this is the possible ambition of 15-16 Clubs in 5-6 years.
Can see the attraction for another NZ team purely for TV scheduling as it gives another option in the earlier timeslots of either 3pm or 5pm (AESDT).
After the debacle of the NZ Knights is it worth taking another risk in Auckland though?
I think in the next expansion phase to 12 teams the FFA will favour a 2nd Brisbane team over a regional team like Woolongong, Canberra or Geelong. Just from what Gallop has been saying about the need for teams with 1 million plus populations behind them, I think hints to what their intentions are.
The Sydney and Melbourne derbys are huge money spinners and seem to be getting bigger every season not only in terms of crowds but interest generated. Daresay FFA would like more of this and to expand on it so the next logical step would probably be a 2nd Brisbane team.
RE: 2nd NZ team - why not Christchurch? As far as I'm aware, they put on a good show for U/17's World Cup last year. Spreading the love to the South Island would work well IMHO
lol, might as well. Could just work
Don't they have earthquakes there? That could be interesting...

Pretty sure that's San Jose.
Hang on...AFC have a big problem with one NZ team in the league. How would they react to two?
San Jose hasn't had a decent one in years, Kiwis owning them at the moment

FMD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No more Kiwis FFS
Lets give some Aussie kids a chance of playing top flight, not ****ING Kiwis
Wow. No need for the hostility.
Also, I think you've used your exclamation quota. Now how will we know when you're yelling?
It wasn't my idea to introduce another NZ team. I was merely putting forth another option if it were to go ahead. I've only ever heard about Auckland, and I guess per capita it makes the most sense.
would a combined Canberra Wollongong team work
"Southern Soccer Super Stars"
don't you diss my man Capt Oblivious, I consider him a role model in so many ways, his shining example is probably one of the reasons I continue to remain a Jets fan, despite Jets' management's continual attempts to warn us all off this path to oblivion... (anyway, SJE don't even play football, they play some other game called sokkaa apparently, that hasn't been played in this country since Johnny Warren was a girl, is it any wonder that country is up sh*t creek without a creditable presidential candidate as a paddle...)

Forgive me. I'm prone to rage.
Per capita works in theory. Football markets are more than a population game imo. Need commercial and grassroots support AND **** the Kiwis is an important consideration. We need to look after our own youth players before theirs.
Yeah look, my man Jetmaster is back there asking the big questions, I thought FIFA wanted the kiwis out of our comp is that not a thing anymore or are we all like 'yeah go **** yourself Sepp'?
Its stupid. We're shooting Oz football in the foot regardless of FIFA and the AFC's views.
But I guess that what we're good at in Australian football....
