EOI was submitted last week

Yeah a few names missing eh???  I bet they have responded just cooling their jets until the  short list process is conducted.... Who knows?

Did they announce it brate? I have heard that clubs like Hume City, Altona Magic and even Dandy Thunder have responded down here but can't find info anywhere.....

Anyone who’s been a long term fan of this sport in this country knows that the club has always had its fair share of  …less than gentlemanly fans. But it
really would be a shame imo if they did indeed miss out of the NSD. Let’s be honest, in many ways they’re probably one of the main clubs the concept of the second division is built around, at their best they have a lot to offer the league. Always strong on the field, a great track record of producing players, great club owned facilities, a large and loyal fan base, history.

ofcourse i understand that the headlines surrounding the club of late are less than ideal publicity, and if they are selected, there will be awkward questions to answer from certain sections of the media, which isn’t really ideal when you’re trying to launch a new competition. 

no annoucement, looks like they have a few fires to put out first

agreed, they'd be a great addition

christ mate you've driven or know about so many NPL Clubs from way back - be it Melb/Syd/Bris by posts, whats your background and who did you support back in the day :P

As Glenardo mentioned eslewhere, Marconi started some clean up, fresh paint etc, I'm sure SO will paint it fresh Blue/White for next season mind you I'm just there for the granstand seating as per last few seasons Cup games we're great as was the souv :) .

Belmore is hardly used by the Dogs for quite sometime, I see R3 they are at Belmore this season and thats it most so called home games at Stadium Australia which is Homebush and funnily 1 home fixture at Suncorp lol

AAFC claiming 23 of their members have submitted

here here fellas they are a must for me though I'm sure they will be read the riot act and something hung over them.

Not to mention, from a Marconi perspective.

Interesting.  Select the lot of them.  Lower the costs and requirements.  Split into 2 conferences and play for 3 seasons and on results over that period determine who goes into the 2nd division with the rest having the option to play in a third division along with clubs from the NPL who have used the 3 years to develop themselves.

has it been decided how many teams will be in the NSD, is it between 10-12 or?

No
The format or even if it will go ahead isn't sure

This is only EOI submissions to start shaping it

24 clubs is pretty decent. A few years of P&R and hopefully the pool gets big enough to support 3 divisions

Lets hope 2 divisions are viable first though...

We already have conferences.  It's called the NPL.  Let's never speak of it again.

While totally agreeing with your points in regards to being a very strong club, large fan base & producing some Australia's best players, can we accept their attitudes & the attitudes of their fans in this day & age, This is no longer the 1950s, 60s or 70s.
Doesn't take much for them to change. A few coloured players, a women's team & maybe a pride round for their juniors, surely in today's climate not too hard to ask.

You seem to be drunk on your Friday arvo posts

FMD

Be lucky to get a decent 8 out of that list. 

Kind of got feeling this won't be starting in 2024. 

Quite a number from Qld. Pity nothing from further up north. Had little doubt Brisbane City would finally come into it. Surprised the Strikers didn't put up their hand. 
A thorough review needs to be done, but at the top of my head the success likelihood rating as numbered:

7. Gold Coast Knights
3. Sunshine Coast
4. Peninsula Power
6. Brisbane Olympic
2. Brisbane City
5. Brisbane United
1. Gold Coast United

which ones do you have doubts about? SU58 and suncoast (too small a population) are the only ones that stood out to me

Well...
I'd be only looking at the return of the NSL. 

Knights. 
South 
Preston 
Wolves 
Marconi 
Olympic. 

Can't see much from Brisbane. Not that I know the market well
I always thought the Lions were the only one that could step up. The fact they haven't says a lot. These guys started the roar. So they know better about what they're getting into. 
Adelaide. Nothing exciting either. Adelaide City is not the  City of old. 

Watch the rhetoric from JJ. 
Something along the lines of "we have delayed the beginning of the NST, until we work with the club's and prepare them better etc etc "

The FA has said it will be between 10 and 16, but it depends heavily on the quality of the proposals. Looking at that list I reckon it could be closer to 10-12 rather than 16. At 16 the gulf between the bigger clubs and the smaller clubs might be too big to start off with. 

Few things to point out.

1) Brisbane Lions not bidding says nothing of the NSD or "the model" or anything of this nature. The issue is that they were seriously damaged by their AL venture to the point that they had to sell off a chunk of land to cover the losses. They've been on record for a number of years saying they're shying away from stepping up based on their experience. It's about them, not the prospects of the league.

2) Brisbane Strikers were originally founded as Brisbane United in 1991. See the 1991 in their logo? The Strikers have submitted an EOI under their original name.

3) Travel costs are out the window as a factor in this league setup. No WA teams, one Adelaide team. Consolidation around VIC/NSW and what is the most efficient, highest patronage flight route in the world make the travelling costs for most teams no different than putting together a 30 man team bus in small to middling European countries.

4) The prospect of having Sydney Olympic, Wollongong, Marconi, Adelaide City, Stirkers/United, South Melbnourne back is just amazing for football. Apologies to any I left out, can't list them all and it's not intentional. These are amazing times. For the first time since basically 2015 I'm excited about our game's direction once again. Bring. It. ON.

And one more from me

5) Grounds like Perrry Park, Marconi, Edensor is what lower league football is all about. That we'll see professionals on them is fantastic for football. As a kid, not being Italian didn't stop me ever going to see Adelaide City at what was my local ground Hindmarsh. For all the crying about being "broad" in appeal, the thing the AL doesn't have is being connected to football communities in the places where they live. Kids just want to hop on over and see the footy on a Saturday. This is what our game lacks and what it needs and it's at the perfect time. 

I thought the Brisbane United EOI was a joint venture, but if it's the old Brisbane Strikers......happy days.

In Queensland there needs to be 1 club at least, if not 2 in Brisbane as a potential future alternative for Roar when P&R kicks in and there has to be geographical spread ie gold coast, sunshine coast as viable options. Shame there's nothing further north than the Sunshine Coast. Qld has the biggest decentralized population in Australia and there's plenty of talent everywhere. Part of the NST is to also attract talent.
