It’s great news to see the European Super League fall piece by piece, and hopefully we start to find a way to develop a merit based competition here in future too.

The greed in the sport is slowly killing it, and moves like this just show the extent that the self interest exists.

Pffft, what an amateur, learn to research proprly before pretending you know what you are talking about.


Russian side Baltika Kaliningrad travel 13,000-miles for longest away match trip in world at Luch Vladivostok, taking handful of fans… to watch a 0-0 draw

Luch-Energiya travelled nearly 6,500miles each way bore the bore draw in the second tier of Russian football at the weekend

That Russian Second Division though.... man they have 5 million dollar a year budgets..... Well gave a second division too when we can afford it.

I in no way like a closed shop but I find it weird when you have people in Melbourne who scream for it but follow Melbourne storm (started by news Corp ffs) or rabidly follow the afl.

I also see the same thing which is very interesting to watch the selectivity of certain views. 

I often hear that people get bored of the A League as there aren’t that many teams and things get stale, but given no other sport in this country has a promotion and relegation system certainly is something to consider. 

I want to see a merit based top tier but seemingly no one can find a way to Make it work. so the wait continues. It’s certainly been very silent from those clubs working on the NSD lately.

Thanks. 

Has the final report been completed and handed to FA though? I see 2023 listed as a preferred start date but without any other detail it’s hard to see how far along things have progressed. 

A NSD getting up and running, with promotion into the top tier within the first couple of years to expand the A League and then fully opening up a P&R structure as the next step will be a big step for the game here.

I don't know mate... not on the inside but speaking to a few that are it seems that the final report was completed last week (or maybe the week before????) It is with the AAFC member clubs for final revision and then waiting for FA to convene a meeting so it can be presented.. I've been whispered that it will happen but that most of us (non Aleague fans that is) aren't going to like it.... and as for pro rel to Aleague,,, that is decades away if ever.....
The Aleague however will have lots of shiny new plastic entities to keep all the purists happy though, maybe as many as 4 in the next 2 years.... could be absolute bullshit and probably is but that's what I heard... And 2 backers are MLS clubs....

Luch no longer exists, believe it of not, they failed because of financial instability. also may be good to point out that they failed after a prolonged run in the national second tier.
So we'll done you found a team that proves my point.

No that’s my point. They’re against a-league system but rabidly follow afl etc. 

I know one for example who is very vocal on social media against the a-league (which is fine) but then follows the Melbourne Storm. A business entity of Rupert Murdoch.

Distance is a major issue, money is the key issue, SKA in the Russian second division is comparable to Perth, the difference is SKA, it owned partially by the provence, and partially by a 80 billion dollar a year business, as stated before distance is an issue If you don't have money.

What are you trying to point out, what I've been saying all along??? That at the moment they don't have a NSD for multiple reasons, but are working towards a NSD.
And that the key to everything is preservation of the professional league.

You making shit up just proves your point is stoopid,

Luch is still kicking and was still playing in 2020 although covid has impacted them like all of Russian football. Also note how many times they have been promoted to 1st div.

FFA's only care about the ESL schmozzle is that FIFA are now going to be looking around at closed leagues 

USA is a big headache, but going after a minnow like Australia will be an easy target

Next step  - FFA suddenly getting all interested in helping the AAFC instead of being the ball-and-chain

"Unbundling" was because they were forced to, Spin-Spin, now it's some kind of trophy

Nice conspirisy theory,  but the position of the Aleague hasn't changed from before to after the unbundling. It has always said P/R is the endgame privately and publicly.

Already proved money for travel is not an issue either via gate takings, sponsorship, full or partial grant.  If you care to take your head out of your arse you'd see it's eminently doable.
