I'm disappointed to learn there will be no Ipswich/Western corridor bid.

If Brisbane City get up - it will just be another Melbourne Heart all over again with no clear home patch or supporter base. As a league we need to heed the lessons of the past to avoid making these kind of mistakes again.

Brisbane City have never really had a fan base in any period of its history, but they meet derby metrics.

@ flat_eric

There is a bid from Western Pride, assuming it went ahead that is.

Extra central costs for travel, match officials etc for 33 rounds x 6 games = 198 games instead of 127 games would chew up a few million.

According to that guardian article, the successful bidders won't receive 4 years of annual distributions and also pay a 10 million license fee. That's almost 50 million between the 2 new clubs flowing to the FFA covers.

If that particular detail is true the FFA can well and truly stick their arguments about affordability and being "revenue neutral."

You can add Wollongong Wolves to the list.  Everyone wanting them over Southern Expansion but he'll the Wolves have no money for a bid. Actually half of the bidders who have gone public have no investors which would probably rule them out straight away with the current ffa structures.

Another thing about that quote above, if the existing clubs really do think like that, then we now know precisely what they think about expansion

“The two successful clubs may not receive annual dividends from FFA until the next broadcast deal, still another five years away, because the existing 10 clubs are unwilling to split their share any further”“FFA is also expected to seek an expansion fee that could be upwards of $10 million for each new entrant”So they’d need to find $10m to get in plus make up nearly $12m over the first four years in the missing broadcast distribution. Yeah, the FFA have REALLY thought this through lol. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/may/20/a-league-brisbane-strikers-withdraw-expansion-bid-amid-financial-concerns

I didn't believe that was a real quote when I read it.

That will pretty much knock out all these little bids rattling tins.

Only bids with very, very deep pockets need apply.

Would be nice. Don't know much about Perry Park, but if this is possible - Let it happen!! Have Brisbane move in as it will be the ideal size stadium for Brisbane.

I am not sure why anyone is bidding yet?  

What exactly are they bidding on? What is the criteria that the FFA has released? I didn't know they were accepting submissions yet? Has the congress issue been resolved yet so that potential bidders know exactly what the structure of the A-league will look like? The whole exercise at the moment is pointless

Can’t recall much being released by Strikers on their bid, the plan appeared to be to play at Suncorp anyway?

Redevelopment of Perry Park is the desired outcome for football in Brisbane and City/Roar/Strikers should all be planning to use it.

That architect design looks like it was on the secondary field at Perry Park.
It shows the YMCA in the far left corner.

Would’ve cost $250m + to do it with the plaza complex etc

That's the true loss here

Imagine if we did get the womens world cup. The AFL will be front and centre of it and any money that could have gone to a lasting football legacy will end up going to a training ground for the Brisbane Lions AWFL team with all the required goldplating

If they were planning on playing at Suncorp then it would’ve been a financial train wreck.
Hopefully they look towards a second tier bid.

After listening to one of the guys in charge of organising their bid on the dfs a few months ago this is no surprise.

The guy involved seemed to be totally unorganised and didn’t have any idea or direction.

He’s interview was straight after the gentleman from Brisbane City who seemed organised had a clear plan and seemed competent and confident.
