The FFA will back engineer the criteria around whatever they wanted in the first place

The ffa is probably putting the bid team together as we speak thats why we dont know anything about it. Most likely doing the same in south sydney.

True and true.



Is Wellington diverse?  Dont know, however this is a club that has no historical or existing link to a specific migrant group - Rusty Einstein

The negative stereotypes are perpetuated by people who either have no idea or are serving a vested interest; neither viewpoint should get anywhere near running Australian football -

An a-league club in geelong would be an unmitigated disaster. There isn't the support, the stadium is garbage for football, the local game is a Shambles.

Big bash will work... 6 weeks over summer makes it so easy but in an expanded a-league where there is the possibility of ground availability being usurped by the cats at the start and finish of afl season it will start to become a joke.

7-10k crowd at ccm and newy is ok, but at simmonds it'll be just like a wellington game but in a shit city.

No thanks.

 the stadium is garbage for football, 

I've been to a few different aus cities and even Asia to see MV, yet I was in Torquay and still didn't even bother going to Geelong to watch the game for this reason. Saw the ACL game there, never again.

I live in geelong and am far happier to travel to aami or etihad than that dump. I only go because it's the one time i can get some mates to the game that don't normally go.

The venue should be aiming for a bbl team + afl womens team license. That would give the place 9-10 matches over summer, more importantly both will boot off before the real stuff starts.

Cats did apply for a womens licence but were knocked back, but do have a VFL womens side presumably waiting for the call up from the AFL.
