if any of this is true, this is step into the future by football in this country


What do you think about the FourFourTwo article Galaxy And Thunder Accepted into Aleague [RUMOUR]?

Have your say.

LOL, cant you read?? Daniel has a RELIABLE SOURCE!! :P

Anyway, will be great if both are accepted. Just hope the Thunder change their bloody name.

agree with you there why couldnt it be northen city fc or something

Gold Coast knew last year. They're just waiting on the "official word". If you've read or watched the news lately you'd know they have began recruiting players.

QLD Roar should also have a name change if more than one Queensland team is entered into the tournement

Northern City would not go at all because the club, if formed, would be based upon, not only Queensland, but the Northern Territory. Hence the name Northern.


P.S I'm sure I read this somewhere!

Agreed! Although it will be tough to convince the club executives to rebrand all their merchandise, the fact is, the Roars jersey looks horrible anyway.....what kind of colour scheme is Maroon and Orange?????
Team should be renamed Brisbane Roar, or even give the Roar the flick and think of something less embaressing, and stick with the bright Orange, and forget about the traditional Queensland maroon. How good did the Netherlands all orange nike kits with the smart collar look when the Socceroos played them before the WC 2006.

Nah, apparently the FFA wants a more specific location than 'North Australia' to begin with. But if the franchise prospers, they will be allowed to expand their territory.

Anyway, didn't FFA say that they aren't confirming anything until after the season ends?

Get rid of the maroon....all brisbane based teams wear maroon tradtionally.... broncos and lions and the red all wear maroon.....Thts the reason y the roar changed their strip this season... the did so the were more queenslander with the maroon.. n they got rid of the blue... if these teamns get in the league god hope they pik a different colour im sik of temas having the same colours. y not green? no a-league team wears green.... N the BRISBANE ROAR,,, wat a shit name.... they should jus keep queensland....

Ha, now we found out what happens when you mix Holland with State of Origin :lol:
Now get rid of it! :x

GC are gonna wear a kit similar to the Titans and Thunder will wear red, black and white. How that will be arranged and which colour will be most prevalent, I don't know.

A green strip would be good in the A-League, but Kossie's gonna have a sook about it clashing with the turf or something like that :d

I reckon the new name north queensland thunder is good and yes the jerseys for each team will be black red and white for thunder and the gold coast will be blue and yellow

The decision isn't until May??! And thats just for Galaxy, no-one knows the result of the meeting with Thunder yet. This is another bullshit rumour.

thunder and galaxy are pathetic names for football teams, what they have to do with football noone knows, thats probably why the aleague teams are using them, to keep in line with the others.

queensland should change their name to brisbane just as melbourne is melbourne and not victoria.

I'm pretty sure there is an FFA board meeting on the 21st of Feb to discuss this and to make a decision. So this rumour and reliable source is bs imo.

i think theyd wait till after the GF before they make big desicions like this, taking the spotlight of the GF would be dumb.

I never said they'd announce their decision publicly though ;)

Lowy on TWG on Sunday all but confirmed there will be 2 new teams next season, then probably another 2 teams in 2-3 years time after that, then maybe another 2 a few years after that. he said that 12-14 teams would be ideal.

I think 12 teams will be ideal also, not sure how many AIS and Aussie expat's there are in Australia to make up a 14 team roster though =/

By the time there are 14 teams in the competition, the wave of young talent from the national football development plan will be ready.

i think another 2 teams would be great
would make the season longer!

its what we need...

Sure would be great. I can't wait, I'm so sad to see the season finish, but I can't wait till the start of the new season already. It's going to be great.

will be good when theres so many games that its not possible to watch any more. during the last few seasons the rounds have been a tease, you see 4 games and thats just not enough.

4 games is certainly not enough, we need to push towards the 10 mark, although 8 would be sufficient.
