Probably not strictly true. In the case of the rumour posted (South Maitland) it could be argued that there is more than enough talent in that area to sustain an additional licence, based on what I’ve seen in community football. Giving another licence out to operate in Newcastle or Lake Macquarie LGAs though I’d agree wouldn’t make much sense (perhaps with the exception of the Morisset/Cooranbong area). Similarly there could be an argument to put one in the Port Stephens area.

I guess what I’m saying is, it needs to be strategically positioned, not just handed out to whomever fills in the paperwork.
