Fair enough i was told it's popularity has increased with the a-league, which would make sense. Obviously admin don’t want the separate sections but it makes sense as logically that’s where the traffic or interest has come from.

FYI, this website didn't exist before the A-League. Its only a few years old.

Has there been any thought on whether the forum would benefit from having an a-league only section? Currently the Australian section discussion is quite narrow, usually limited to expansion, former NSL supporters stirring up trouble, a sensationalised comment from a socceroo player or a-league talk.

The amount of actual a-league discussion that is allowed to develop is quite low, despite as far as i know this forum gaining popularity on creation of the a-league rather than before. Similarly those topics mentioned like expansion, or criticism of media personalities could have their own forum so repetitive topics dont detract from pure a-league talk, as presently any potential a-league discussion points move down the page quite quickly.
