For the record, this statement is coming from a Jerks, not CCM, player.

Same same but different basically. As far as I'm concerned there are 4 teams I would not classify tinpot in the entire league. Sydney, Western Sydney, Adelaide and the Vuck. The rest would be scrapping out relegation.

If we can't sustain teams in a broken system then we can't handle more teams in a better system!

FWIW if you can't sustain being relegated you don't deserve first tier football. CCM being relegated won't be the end of them they just don't want to go down which they inevitably would. This statement shows it.

IMO if the league can't sustain an extra 4-6 teams, I just don't see how we can sustain a 2nd division & even begin to think of p&r. 

Roy gets it.

Franchises v clubs is like comparing fish and WW2 tanks.

So you want a league in which fish & WW2 tanks face off against each other?

You are such a twitt. The FFA give you an opportunity to play against theirA league team publicly humiliate them and win a media covering FFA cup, that will then give you credibility to force inclusion in the top league. And you are backing the AAFC what a useless bunch of NSL dinosaurs. ffs Nfi

OK, so this year we lose 9 teams from the A League

You could just ban all current HAL teams from competing

Winner gets a HAL spot, would save worrying about having something as outrageous as a 2nd Div and spice up the Cup no end

Gyfox - 21 Sep 2017 11:04 AM

But the three-time National Soccer League champion put that ambition on the backburner after the ex-Port Adelaide chief executive and SANFL legend was part of a taskforce headed by lawyer David Colovic to discover joining Adelaide United in soccer’s top tier was not viable, confirmed former football committee chairman and current board member Alf Ianniello.

However, Ianniello says the club is now confident of raising the $3.5 million revenue needed per season to be part of a professional national second tier league after the club had performed an in-depth logistic study.



If 2nd Tier clubs can reach and sustain that level of revenue then with a distribution from the FFA of $3.5m pa they wouldn't be far off being at the average A-League club expenditure of $7.5m and promotion to it would seem viable in the near future especially if the FFA frees up the league.

You would think that would be the case and the eventual aim of this. Adelaide City have been the first team to put their hand up. We have a team from Western Oz put their name in the hat. From these two sides it is clear that teams such as South Melbourne, Heidelberg, Sydney United, Sydney Olympic could easily foot the bill.
