Haven't checked many of them but it is interesting to see that some already have their APL websites up and the announcement was only made 90 minutes ago. The next plank in building the future of football in this country is underway.

Very strong state APL. All clubs broad based except maybe Olympic. Has been a long time since any of my teams played them so they might have changed for the better. As is normally the case in this progressive state of ours. In any case, the number multi cultural and broad base clubs is simply overwhelming with only one mono cultural club, Olympic which should prevent the spread of any potential cancers. Plus we have safeguards. Thank goodness. Edited by paulc: 3/10/2012 01:45:08 PM

Quote:South-West misses out in APL bid SOUTH-WEST has missed out on securing a place in the Australian Premier League Queensland Conference football competitions. Football Queensland today made the announcement about who were the 12 successful bids and South-West secretary Janelle Sothmann said their bid was unsuccessful. "We missed out. We're devastated," she said. "I'm trying to think of reasons why. "I'm devastated for all of the kids and all of the players because I don't know what there is for them." More to come http://www.thechronicle.com.au/story/2012/10/03/toowoomba-football-south-west-apl/

Quote:Wide Bay gets the boot BREAKING: Any hope of Fraser Coast becoming the home of a new state league soccer club has been given the boot. Football Wide Bay Zone's bid for a place in the inaugural Australian Premier League Queensland competition was overlooked by Football Queensland. The zone's rival licence bid, Bundaberg Spirit, who currently contests the Queensland State League, also missed out on one of the 12 licences granted. It now means any footballer 12 years and over, who aspire to play at the elite level, must travel to the Sunshine Coast or Rockhampton. It is possible Wide Bay and Spirit's failure to strike an agreement destroyed any chance of the region being represented in the new competition. Talks broke down between the two parties last month with the location of where the new club would be based out of believed to be the key sticking point. It is understood Spirit board members were keen to keep home games in the Rum City, but Wide Bay zone officials wanted the new club to be based in a "centralised location" to give access to all players across the zone. Next year's competition, which is set to kick-off in March, will replace the existing top-tier competition, Queensland State League, and the Junior Premier League. Successful applicants: Brisbane City Football Club, Brisbane Strikers, Central Queensland Football Club, Far North Queensland Bulls, Moreton Bay United, Northern Fury, Olympic FC, Palm Beach Sharks, Queensland Academy of Sport, Redlands United Football Club, Sunshine Coast Fire and Western Pride Football Club http://www.frasercoastchronicle.com.au/story/2012/10/03/wide-bay-gets-boot/

A TV deal is essential for these leagues even if its just the finals or a weekly highlights package. Would be brilliant if the rights sold covered the teams travel expenses.

It's clearly not australia wide... It is going to be in every state, but it's clearly not the premier (highest) league in Australia. So yeah, dumb name if it's gonna be APL Queensland, APL Victoria. Hopefully it will be styled Victorian Premier League, Queensland Premier League as it already is for some, and by definition the premier league in each state.

Choosing Palmy over the Football Gold Coast bid is a travesty. Instead of uniting the Coast under 1 banner they've handed this massive advantage to one club. How many juniors will decide to move to Palmy with a hope of playing in the APL. Not a good decision IMO, alot of football fans on the GC hate Palmy, myself included.

I obviously haven't been paying enough attention, is Queensland a test case or are they just the first to implement this? Are any of the other state federations in the process of setting this up?
