like perhaps, SYDFC, WSWFC, Newcastle, wollongong rather than two team up the coast


But then we would never have kicked your arse in the season 8 final :(


yeah....but i could live with that......:lol:

with a teak north of sydney it could be either CCM or newcastle but both to me don't make sense, one or the other...

As long as they are not a travelling circus not fussed where the next NSW A-League team comes from.

But you are either one or the other

Exactly.

As I've said before, I'd prefer a Shire only team rather then one shared with Wollongong even if it means not having a team.

The 19k figure for Sutherland is in line with the 8% growth that Gallop forecast for the whole of Australia with a total 45k increase across the country possible. I heard a figure greater than 10% mentioned for NNSW and early preseason figures from some of the District Associations in Sydney were over 5% increase. This will be a great outcome of the World Cup/Asian Cup double up affecting the one season.

Sharks for A2-League, if only for talent pathway reasons.

This is more along the lines that I think. Instead of creating a new, sterile franchise based out of 'Southern Sydney/Shire', the FFA should be looking at ways of growing the Sutherland Sharks and turning them into a professional outfit. They have an already decent youth system in place, as evidenced by the large number of youth players from them that are playing in the Youth League, and obviously (if this article is anything to go by) an extremely large talent pool to choose from.

I would actually be supportive of a Sutherland Shire/Southern Sydney team if Sutherland Sharks were to have investors come in and look at turning them into a professional club either for the A-League or even the A2 League (if that is to ever become a thing). It could play out of Shark Park, and the smart thing to do would be to also partner up with the Cronulla Sharks. God knows they need a bit of support at the moment, and would definitely help increase the clubs supporter base. Play games out of Shark Park, which is a perfect sized (communuty) ground for the A-League, and all the Youth Teams can play out of Seymour Shaw, which is IIRC was the first NSW Premier League club to move to an artificial surface.


i dont mind this either. at the end of the day we have more australians playing the game and we need as many as possible to be playing to grow the socceroos talent pool. it'll only be good for our national team

add Canberra, Woolongong, Sutherland, Hobart and Geelong to make it a 16 team competition. the more teams the better it is for our league
