some could, its not like that the ffa gives you $1.4 for entering for crying out loud

Never happen.

Never ever happen so give up the dream.

Could State League clubs find the 2.5 million required per year to even pay the players????

No chance in hell.

Ph*ck your an absolute tosser.

and why not? is it not stadium deals that is killing current a-league sides?

No A-League licenses will be granted the any NSWPL team period........

what knowledge of NSW do you have joffa?

As far as I am aware no current NSWPL club has ever tendered for an A-League licence so I'm not sure how this could be an option. I'm sure some of these clubs have set their sights on participation in a B-league competition.

Wollongong annd Canberra are obviously still potential areas for A-League expansion whilst the FFA obviously appear still keen to get the Rovers up and running in Western Sydney.

Has in going backwards going to save Australian soccer.

I think after 6 years out of the Top League it is time to seriously get over it my friend.

this is a serious issue to save australian football

Do you ever stop?

Your like a little kid who day dreams all day about fairytales.

Ok so they need more teams into the a-league from NSW there has been much talk about Western Sydney, Wollongong, Canberra, Inner Sydney and the like what do we think, ill post what i think the strengths are of the current clubs and you guys can all ellborate this is not an agenda driven topic just real football talk:

1) South Coast Wolves - the have the whole Illawarra Catchment area, rich in football history, two times National Football League champions, they do not have any assets apart from community spirit. WIN Stadium fits the bill and many ex-soceroos hail form the area. Not good stadium Deal

2) Marconi Stallions - South West Sydney, very very rich in football history, 3 times national football league champions, have the knowledge, the history, the money from the social club which is a gem of social clubs in the south west, they have the perfect size facilities what more do you want? Great Stadium Deal

3) Sydney Olympic FC - St George,Canterbury Bankstown Areas, have a large large supportter base, have a great facility in Belmore Sports Ground, two time national football legaue champions, have always been one of the best in the country in terms of sponsorship, would make a great rivalry with Sydney FC and would bring derbies into the Sydney A-League system. Great Stadium Deal

4) Canberra - UNKNOWN Quantity, failed in the NSL with a community team the ethnic card cannot be blammed on this one, however its a decent sized city, seem to be able to get govt backing, has a good sized stadium the stadium deal is unknown to us, not sure about the qualities of this one.

5) Blacktown City Demons, have NSL experiance, a club with a long history, there facility is something with some work could be ok, a north/west sydney team might work, strong rugby league territory but we either go had or die trying

6) Sydney United FC, South West Sydney side, large history, top failities what more do you want? great stadium deal, experiance.

What do we think people.
