That sums it up for me. People can complain about the club all they want, the problem comes from higher up. While the clowns as HSG are running the show, it will continue to be amateur hour.Originally Posted by Jetmaster
The pitch though, as if the State Govt is going to see any value in sorting out a regional venue, and HSG just don't know enough to push for it.
And we can't even get $1 mill to get the surface relaid.....

Good to see that they are looking at using the blended natural turf and synthetic grass if they are going to start to have multiple codes playing there. Why no NSW venues do this amazes me when we have three rectangular orientated codes operating year round. Its what hunter venues, and NSW venues should be putting in at hunter stadium prior to the Asian cup.
To be fair jetmaster, to nsw state government don't give a shit about Adelaide's stadium either.
I would struggle to see how they are gonna turn Hindmarsh into that. As anyone who has ever been there would know there isn't much space around the ground to expand.
Add in the fact most of their ground is cheap meccano shit stadia I don't see how 75 million would install a roof and increase capacity by 10k

Kinda big news.
2034 gives clubs and owners some pretty good stability.
Though withe coin in Asia only growing it might be hard to fill the visa spots with any decent players consistently if they do move to the 3+1 rule

FFA extends Hyundai A-League licences to 2034
Football Federation Australia (FFA) has today taken a decision to extend the licences of the nine Australian clubs in the Hyundai A-League until 2034.
The current licences of the clubs had an existing term running until 2020.
FFA CEO David Gallop said the licence extension to 2034 would provide the clubs with long-term certainty for their planning and investment.
“FFA and the clubs have made the stability and sustainability of the A-League the top priority,” said Gallop.
“Today’s decision is consistent with our long-term strategy. The extension will give the clubs the certainty they need over a 20-year timeframe to invest, and will also underpin and enhance the value of the licence.
“The Hyundai A-League is enjoying another great season with attendances, TV ratings, digital audiences and membership all increasing. The licence extension is a sign of confidence that the business model is on the right track for long-term success.”
Today’s decision is not applicable to Wellington Phoenix, whose licence term runs until 2016.
The New Zealand club’s participation in the Hyundai A-League beyond 2016 is subject to approval from FIFA, the AFC and FFA. The issue will be addressed in separate discussions with the club.
In relation to the sale of the Western Sydney Wanderers, FFA reaffirms that no final decision has been made and that discussions are continuing with prospective buyers.
In other matters, FFA today confirmed that each Hyundai A-League club will have a limit of five (5) visa players for next season, 2014/15. In the following season 2015/16 the limit will be reduced to four (4) visa players.
A feasibility study will be conducted for possible future implementation of a “3 + 1” model, under which one visa player is Asian.
“The foreign visa players bring so much to the Hyundai A-League in terms of technical ability and marketing interest, but we must also nurture our young Australian players,” said Gallop.
“We have taken a prudent step to reduce the visa limit over a number of years to create more opportunities for local, elite youth players, while acknowledging that the visa players have an important role as we continue to build the competition.
“The idea of a ‘3 + 1’ model being introduced at some stage is aimed at strengthening our links to Asia, where football is undergoing a boom on the technical, professional and business levels.
“This model would align our competition with the AFC Champions League and assist clubs in setting up their player rosters.
“Overall, we view the adjustments in the visa player limits as another step in our strategic plan for the A-League.”

Vince should be more concerned with getting his currently shit house product back on track and not wasting his time buying shit EPL sides.
FFS whilst he keeps the entire WWE revolving around John Cena being a face so the kiddies buy more merchandise they are ****ed. FFS Drop him down the pecking order or turn him heel FFS
Add in the fact that possibly his best asset who appeals to hard core wrestling fans in CM Punk has walked out on them in disgust over the way things are going and currently shows no signs of going back then they have some big issues.
WWE died the day it wasn't WWF
OK
Blahaha, why am I not at all surprised that MFKS loves wrestling?
Yet my signature which is a blatant rip off of one of the greatest wrestlers in the last 20 years entrance theme doesn't give that away???
Just makes me think of Cartman.
This^^^^
Of all the wrestlers, this is who we need...
As someone who isn't a massive wrestling nerd, no, no it does not.
