The whole idea if this feels like an empty hole in my stomachgyfox wrote:Sydney v Chelsea ANZ Stadium 2 June.
Though there definitely seems to be a lot of confusion... rightfully soMelbourne Victory boss Ian Robson told Fairfax Media he believed his club had complied with the letter of the law.
The FFA, which has been rocked by Perth Glory's salary cap breaches, says Victory broke no rules.
Reading this bad boy at the moment.gyfox wrote:The Whole of Football Plan was released today. Have read and been involved in preparation of many such documents over the years and this is quite a good one. The real interest will come when 4 year Strategic Plans and Operational plans start to come out. Then we will see how the various parts of football are going to achieve the targets in the plan. I must say that a target to grow from 600k registered club players to 2m in 20 years is quite mind boggling. Thats 6% pa or about 3 times the rate of population growth.

COMPOSITION OF THE A-LEAGUE
The A-League will aim to be the strongest Football league in our region.
Every major Australian centre with a population over 500,000 has the market size to host
an A-League club.
A-League competition expansion will come as a product of sustainable commercial growth,
via a managed process of “in and out” as circumstances arise, rather than a relegation and
promotion system based purely on results. This is critical to retain the strategic market placement
of clubs which underpins the commercial viability of the league.
New entrants to the A-League will need to meet criteria based on funding, football development,
stadium capacity and facilities, and community engagement that any NPL Club or New Consortium
will need to satisfy:
In particular any NPL Club or New Consortium will need to be professionally run, and prove
a concrete demand based on participation and population in a region.
The FFA Cup Final will be position(sic) as the second biggest event on the Australian Football calendar
after the A-League Grand Final. It will unite the whole Football community and be a celebration
of Football at every level in Australia.

These really show the expansion path - it's going to be more like blending the MLS expansion route with the birth of Wanderers. Establish a discrete market (even if within an existing market - e.g the Shire/St George club they're working on within Sydney FC's current market) and give them a business development path. By this plan, there's room for 8 clubs in Sydney (hey NRL, we'll be taking your grounds now).yob wrote:COMPOSITION OF THE A-LEAGUE
