The A-League is dying a slow, painful, and embarrassing death and its exclusion, inability to correctly market its product and absolute bore-fest for 90% of the meaningless games in its fixture means it hasn't captured the hearts of the actual football community.

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.
I wasn't making any assumptions at all. My eyes show me this town can't sustain an A League team so I can't see why adding another semi/professional team would make things any better.

Edgy were in the talks to join the second tier but there is no way the numbers stack up. Millsy is generous with the purse strings but not to the extent that he'll through millions of $$ at something so unsustainable.
