There is no direct professional football pathway in New Zealand without the Nixs, You just cant fob off an island nations only pro team because of 5k crowds.

+xBosnich and Hill, two high profile Fox employees, speaking negatively about Wellington should be noted very carefully. From Fox's point of view, especially under the terms of the new deal, a 10 team Australian competition is worth more than a 9+1 foreign team deal. If the 10th side is in Sydney or Melbourne, even better for them. Also cheaper to add a replacement team in Melbourne or Sydney as they don't have to pay for a bigger league that they don't want. FFA are trying to flush Nix's intentions out as soon as possible in case they have to find Team10 in a hurry. Was obvious as soon as they put expansion criteria back to July.

It's almost as though it was pre-written some time ago...........hmmmmm

If its good enough for the NRL and NBL then its good enough for A-League. It makes sense for the NRL because a lot its fans and playing base are Kiwi/Pacific Islander. It makes sense for the NBL because it has a very low base for supporters within Australia. It doesn't make sense for football as we have a large enough base of potential supports who are simply not connected to the A-League As I have said before, the opportunity cost of keeping a NZ team in the A-League while there are viable Australian alternatives who will engage this disconnected fanbase while giving opportunities to potentially 23 Australian players plus NYT and W-League is far too great. It is also far too great for Foxtel as they cannot even sell subscriptions into NZ.

But expansion is coming to fill them "missing" gaps for Australian players/development which makes that argument redundant. Fox get just over $200k from SKY TV which may go up next season, We can also have a W-League side too with out taking away player paths from Aussies.

There's a finite amount of spots that can be given to Australian bids and more Australian bids that want to be in the A-League. The Phoenix occupy one spot. Regardless, as it stands - the Phoenix represent a huge opportunity cost. I am sure Foxtel can get far more than $200k per season with an Australian team. Having a NZ team doesn't engage disconnected Australians here. In regards, to the W-League, flying over to Wellington for games only increases the financial burden that the W-League currently is. You still haven't answered why Australia should be directly assisting another country's football federation in a completely different confederation. Why should we be directly assisting the development of Kiwi talent that has already denied an Asian country a place at a World Cup and has the potential to do so in the future?

It was the FFA who wanted a kiwi team to remain in the A-League over local bidders. As for the world cup - well it just shows the strength of the A-League if a handful of A-League talent can knock out the 5th best Asian nation, Not to mention we could even knock Australia out in a play off if that was to happen. Also NZ has the potential to grow and have another 2 team in Auckland and Christchurch that would rack in more funds from SKY TV.

#savetherot I dont care if Nix leave or not. As long as the league goes to 14 teams. If the league does go to 14 teams and Nix are still in, Im happy for a Auckland team, as long as they play at a rectangular stadium etc etc.

If replaced with a Sydney team I think the immediate effect on league attendances would be a boost of ~550. That's based on the assumption that they draw an average around 11,000 which is a piss in.
3 home derbies for a new sydney team with total attendance of 60,000 would come close to matching Wellington's season total. Yes, 3 games.
Provided the Southern Expansion folk aren't mafia connected like a Slovakian prime minister I see no reason not to rush them in.

I've got nothing against the Nix, but if a Canberra team with equal attendance got their spot it would provide more pathways for Australian youth, less travel costs and more spots for Aussie players to play at a pro level
