+xCampbelltown IMO is the next logical place to put the next Sydney team... massive growth area and the Wests Tigers play only 4 games a year .. a nice stadium next to a railway station and close to major roads... The Southern bid will effect SFC and to deny this by the bid folk is well I think outright lying ... the south western corridor is set for massive population numbers as is just as close to the gong as in fact according to google maps ... the gong to Cronulla is 1 hr 1 mim .. the gong to Campbelltown is 47 mins... For me the answer is obvious where the next Sydney team should go. people arguing that southern sydney doesnt have an identity, st george, shire and wollongong are eternal rivals and will never unite, yet they argue that south-west sydney has an identity and that the people of campbelltown, picton and oran park will unite.

South west Sydney has been a separate region of Sydney with Liverpool being the gateway to it since the early days of the colony. Not sure what your point is.

To tell you the truth no one identifies themselves in Sydney and says I am from South Sydney. There are plenty of people who identify with being from the shire though. It's just a different world in there for some reason.

Just out of genuine curiosity.. what would St.George areas identity be? is it the same as Sutherland? My own personal thinking is if I was to design a kit/logo for a new South Sydney club it would be somewhat in the form of beach/water or ships(referencing Captain Cook/Endeavour) but to be honest other than St.George Cross or a Dragon I cant think of much else for St.George, is there something that can be intertwined? would a ship cover St.George aswell?

I think the goal of this new team should be to base themselves in the shire and to get as many people as they can, from there, to buy in and be the core support and let the people from the St.George and Wollongong areas decide if they like what they see and want in. If not it might push more people from St.George area to Sydney FC or WSW and at the same time might actually strengthen/consolidate the support for the Wolves and their bid.

I would do something like this with a green and yellow kit 
its easy for kids to draw. Cruzeiro already use just the southern cross

Is the name Australis FC a serious suggestion? Or is there a joke I'm missing?

If you were to look down the ladder and see Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, Sydney and then come across Australis, I know if it were me, I would ask the questions of Who? and Where? Then being able to draw the connection through the meaning of Australis to give you that understanding. I haven't read it myself but someone mentioned the bid doesn't want the word Sydney in the name and I think this is a great alternative to just 'Southern FC'

+xIs Glebe in Southern Sydney? No, Glebe is just west of the CBD, they are mixing it up with Wentworth Park I presume. Jubilee is pretty much at Kogarah....Banksia if I'm not mistaken.

I think it can mean both , Terra Australis can mean land of the south or southern land From New Latin aurora australis, from Latin aurora (“dawn”) + australis (“southern”).Adjective[edit]austrālis m, f (neuter austrāle); third declension - southern
- (substantive) the south pole
- (as a specific epithet) Australian
But "FC Australis" would be ok too

I would do something like this with a green and yellow kit
its easy for kids to draw.

I haven't read it myself but someone mentioned the bid doesn't want the word Sydney in the name and I think this is a great alternative to just 'Southern FC' Yeah I dont think it is too out there because it means "southern" and they have stated the want "southern" in the name as you know. As I wrote earlier I would go with "Terras" as their nickname. Edit: :) 442 headlines - Coach lauds Terra-iffic Australis -Coach slams Terra-ble Australis Terra means land Astralis virtually means southern. Sorry that was a play on words using "Terras" istead of "Terrors". Like Aston Villa "Villans" and not "Villains" lol not bad, it's heartening to see enthusiasm for the team

I understand what you mean now. Yes Southern Sydney has been a region of Sydney for yonks. My recollections go back to the 50's and i've never known it as anything else. Of course separate LGA's have their specific identity within what is a larger looser connection which is what regions are.

+x+x+x+x+xWollongong wolves got crowds of 5,000 in the NSL reckon they struggled to support there own team. Would go down the Southern Sydney route but pick one stadium to play in. The A-League is a completely different animal. Football is bigger than ever before in this country. We will be absolutely fine down here. The only issue is a lot of people have become sick of waiting for a team and they've gone to support Sydney/WSW.. and the longer it takes I fear more and more will head that way So people dowm there support syd fc or wsw but wouldnt support a club that shares their location? Why would anyone down there follow wsw or syd fc? Afterall we are being told c9nstantly that wollongong ppl would only ever follow a stand alone bid. Can we also please stop using the nrl comparison as those were a case of combining existing clubs, whereas this would be an entirely new club made from scratch, a bit lile wsw. Same arguments were made with them too, with ppl saying no suppprters outside of parra would bother as they would be c9nsidered a parra team. Its different than the nrl. Im sure all the old school wolves supporters will be against it, but im sure this new club will pick up plenty of new fans if they do their c9mmunity engagement properly. The only thing that is truly c9ncerning about this bid is playing out of 3 stadiums (possibly) that is a shit idea. Choose a location and be done with it. Before they eventually build their own. People down here want to be apart of the A-league because they love the sport. I am one of them. People are becoming impatient and I know a lot of people who go to games in Sydney, especially the derby or other big games. Of course the more they go, the more it creates an affiliation with the team and give it enough time they will begin to support one of them. Its just natural. People here don't WANT to support a Sydney side, but they are becoming impatient waiting for a Wollongong side that they feel they HAVE to support a Sydney side because they want to get involved with the A-League and at the moment they can't do that in Wollongong. Personally, I am waiting for a team down here and I've been confident ever since the league began that one day eventually we will get our own team. Right now though, all this talk of a combined Sydney/Wollongong team does not bode well with me and others. We want our own team. We don't consider ourselves from Sydney. I didn't use the St George Illawarra Dragons example but that was a completely different situation.. both clubs needed each other at the time. And using one home ground with 3 different regions is probably the dumbest thing I've heard so far. Its one thing expecting people from Wollongong to support a combined Sydney side but its another to expect us to travel up to Cronulla or Kogarah every second week to watch us play. How would that possibly work? Do you really think that will help build a following from Wollongong, assuming our home ground is in either of the other two regions? Thanks champ tell me which football club in the world uses 3 different home grounds successfully? 3 stadiums is the dumbest thing ive heard and the fact u would back that makes me question ur whole belief on this topic. My point is.that if willongong are never getting a team, dont u think people would be more prepared to travel half the distance to watch a.team that at least has some affiliation with them than a wsw or syd fc? Of course they will. Especially when the club plays 2 home games agaisnt both syd fc ansmd wsw. Fans will flock there from wollongong. See people here say that people in the sth dont relate to ppl from the shire, well.i have some news for them, people from manly dont really relate to ppl that come from sothern parts of sydney or the west, yet sydney fc has fans from both those areas, and we still manage to avg the second highest attendances year in year out. A team purely from wollongong will get u 8-9k hardcore fans with very little room to grow. It will be similar version of newcastle jets which to be blatently honest doesnt excite me at all, and nor does it for most aleague gans when they watch newcastle on tv. They would become a niche club run on a budget alla ccm and newy. If i had to choose between a mega club with huge backing and broader representation alla fc and wsw, or a niche club like the gong alla ccm or newy, i know which one id rather watch play. I never, ever said I backed the 3 stadium idea. Bro, I don't even back the combined team. I back a single Wollongong bid which is 1 stadium. You have missed my whole point and now I'm questioning your understanding of my belief on this topic. Anyway, there is no doubt the combined team would have support. But most wouldn't be behind it like we would be behind a Wollongong side on its own. A combined side does not feel like "my" team... I dont consder myself a "Sydneysider" and Wollongong and Southern Sydney are completely different areas. And your argument about Manly people is exactly my point. They don't "relate" but only support Sydney FC because its the only team to follow. If there was a North Sydney side do you honestly think they would support Sydney FC?

Three stadiums does seem a stretch. I'm guessing the initial strategy is to be all things to all people to get their hands on a license and then once that is achieved, a bit of pragmatism will set in.

Don't all yell at once ... but I recall I think about Hal 2 maybe Hal 3 some firm did a study on Australian sport and said were the next four expansion teams should be.
Southern Sydney, Western Sydney , South Western Sydney, and Canberra ...
There reasoning was interesting and I have often wondered if they were beyond crazy or had a very valid point.
They argued the strength of both the AFL and NRL was having a city they played a lot out of and this would create many stories and lead to a lot of general talk between different fans. The interest generated by Sydney would create in its own right a media interest.... they then said to put three teams in Melbourne when the dust had settled for similar reason...
The argument was to launch these 6 teams by Hal 8.
They argued further argued by having a strong presence in Sydney and Melbourne and connections in Canberra was the both the fastest and safest model and would get the best media deals...
If the logic still applies then both expansion teams should be in Sydney...

Yep, Wollongong to get dropped after a season or 2. People to unite behind a team of their own with a serious rivalry with the southern team.

If the logic still applies then both expansion teams should be in Sydney... Oct 2015 Frank Lowy
Lowy had some choice words for Sydney FC coach Graham Arnold, who said he feared for the club's future if a third Sydney team was introduced. As it stands, Phoenix has four years to demonstrate that they are an asset to the competition and not a liability, instead of simply asking for a 10-year extension to their licence. Frank Lowy
"And my advice to Graham Arnold is to focus on making Sydney FC a champion team instead of entering a debate he knows nothing about," he said. Lowy also took aim at Sky Blues chairman Scott Barlow, who on Wednesday said he had been assured by FFA that no new A-League licences would be issued in the near future, warning a southern Sydney team would have a catastrophic impact on his club. Lowy said FFA was obliged to explore options to replace the Phoenix, since the A-League's broadcast agreement requires a 10-team competition is maintained - but that no decisions have been made. "Clearly, a new team in south Sydney is one of those options," Lowy said.

October 2016 Steven Lowy
Despite being a guest speaker at Sydney FC's launch, Lowy took a subtle swipe at the Sky Blues board who fought publicly against the potential introduction of a third team in the city. A southern Sydney team remains among the front runners to be granted an A-League licence, despite the region being a key membership base for Sydney FC. Lowy suggested clubs should not interfere with the expansion process on the basis of their own agendas if it comes at the cost of the greater good of domestic football. "Those [expansion] teams are going to butt up against existing teams and some existing clubs won't like that," he said. "But we have to look past that and not look to be influenced by the politics, but be influenced by the ultimate growth of the game itself."
Chairman Steven Lowy confirms FFA's plans to expand A-League to up to 16 teams
We just need to accept this is going to happen.
