Bit of a stretch getting that a third Melbourne team has to play out of Etihad out of what I said. No my logic is that you need to install temporary seating. Adelaide play out of a 16500 stadium with a seated capacity of 15000. CCM play out of an all seater 20059. The FFA will put up with some non-standing on the main grounds a la Adelaide and Newcastle. Their standards on alternate grounds is lower - see Hutt Recreational. If you want Lakeside to be the main stadium it needs to be a much greater ratio of seating to non-seating.

GIO Stadium, WIN Stadium, Kardinia Park, Robina Stadium all fit the criteria. If SMFC put in temporary seating so will they (as well as bringing the crowds closer to the action).


Agree. would be a shame to hold back aus football by way of farcical standards that tie a nix 3000 member club to a 35k seater and/or the selective implementation of temporary seating.

Yep - but the FFA  make the decision. Wouldn't it be better for SMFC to help steer the decision and make it part of their submission instead of complaining when they are not selected. If SMFC want the result they would compromise - not tell the FFA they were wrong when they miss out.

WP get under 6000 and rate 41k

This is acceptable for the league.

How many new clubs could match this? 6? 7?

It's a reminder the next MV or WSW is not around the corner but matching the low end of the league is possible

The thing is we don't need to add more top clubs through expansion, nothing wrong with low end teams as long as they are sustainable. The first key is to get more teams into the league which will mean more matches which is always nice and more competition for the league. Which will improve more so with relegation as the bottom teams will have something to play for.

But not every team will be big, nor should they expect to be. The 3rd Melbourne and Sydney team will create big interest in itself, the others will be solid sustainable teams who will improve once the overall Australian talent does.

Which is why the current model is messed  up as it tries to make every team the same which is stupid. Let the big clubs get bigger and let the smaller clubs do their thing

What planet are you on! Do you realise we piss off our host FIFA Confederation (Asia) and send $2.5M of Australian TV money across to New Zealand for your 'acceptable' figures? We get no 'football expertise' for that effort either from NZ.

That wasn't the point, the point was that expansion teams could easily come in and get those attendances and ratings.

The A-League is still a development league. It is a 20 year project to grow and develop. If we sit here and say that the standard set by the Phoenix TV ratings, attendances are good enough, let alone their weak TV income and the Confederate headache they give us, then we may as well fold the league.

Some here don't understand that 'Australian Soccer' is still in a development phase.

Thus why those ratings are acceptable for a new team...

You'd have to put in two teams. One must be South Melbourne. They tick the boxes. Reasonable sized stadium with lux. In the right TV zone. Have an existing fan base.

Love the idea. Something about those little stadiums I really like.

Even if the funds were tight, two grandstands on either wing, elevated standing area/terrace behind the goals.

Something like this, found it online.

Small boutique stadium is exactly what is needed, along with the HAL side of course to boost the game in Tas. There is untapped potential there.

Aurora Stadium in Launceston is pretty much 50% that temporary/scaffolding type stand fixed to the ground like that one above in germany. Thats what came to my mind when the premier mentioned putting temporary stands in North Hobart Oval.

North Hobart Ovals dimensions are 154 by 112 so if they ran the pitch north/south as opposed to east/west it could look something like this.

Only issue is the southern end goalie would have the sun directly in their eyes for an afternoon game so that probably wouldn't work out :hehe:

Interesting, but it'd be a big waste of the nice old grandstand and the terracing in the corner, surely working within the topography, with the terracing on the north side taking advantage of being uphill, it would be better.

I just love the Modular aspect to it.
You could start with the 2 side grandstands with 1 having a roof on the TV commentary side then as time goes by and money becomes available add the ends,roofs,offices,corperate and other add ons.
Keeping costs down and control by the club means rent and match day costs aren't or shouldn't be entirely in somebody else's hands.Wellington could really use something like this. the 360 view on http://www.brita-arena.de/ shows how nice the finished product could be from change rooms to corporate box's

Its the Cockerill article posted on page 5 of the FFA set for Tasmania meeting thread. But it's MP Andrew Wilkie not the premier. Got abit excited myself. No quotes but it says in the article he's said he'll find $12million dollars to install seating and upgrade lights/coporate/media facilites to standard.

I also saw your previous photoshop on page 5 in the same thread and really liked how you incorporated the stands and terracing. Only issue I see it that they just spent a fortune rebuiling/replicating the  original 1920s little old heritage grandstand (at the southern end of my photoshop) that got burnt down so I couldnt imagine them wanting to get rid of that.
