+xso our friend Jim has posted on the official suppoprters page that WU will be running 3 community forums in Wyndham, Geeling and Ballarat. thats great news, but feels a but late. Forums after the colours, badge and name have all been hand picked is a joke. This lot is just Southern Expansion in Victoria.

Forums to tell them that all the decisions have already been made and how much they enjoyed the community feedback process?

The Gold Coast has been a graveyard for any sporting code. It’s a significant transient demographic that is hell bent to enjoy the numerous other activities to relax and enjoy the life style the Coast offers. Geelong can not be compared.

Wow that's insane! Here's hoping for a namechange once they are established and cemented in their hole.

Does that mean it was always going to one team each from Melbourne and Sydney? Canberra should be asking for their bid costs to be covered as it sounds like they had no chance.

Not surprised, did you see the ratings collapse? Why pay more when you won’t get anywhere near previous averages. Also not sure FFA learnt anything about from playing hardball with SBS a few years ago, I imagine Fox will get payback down the track

If Fox are trying to get out of paying 5mill over a name,imagine what they will pull,when the HAL is independent. One thing is for sure.When the current deal expires,everyone is going to be poorer,unless something miraculous happens to regenerate interest/ratings..

this is massive
in order to trigger an additional $5M from the Fox broadcast deal, the FFA had to promise to introduce 2 x clubs from melb and syd -- no other city.
Fox dont think Western United is "Melbourne" enough, so theyre witholding the $5M. Fox must really hate the FFA and the HAL at the moment. Clear signs theyre trying to Bail out completely from the HAL.

We’ve known for a long while that the fox money would only be triggered by new teams in three cities - Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane
Why the FFA didn’t just run a selection process for those three city’s god only knows.

I'd tell Fox Sports Australia to suck a fat one and just go with Wyndham FC.

It's pretty normal in corporate circles, its about presenting a facade to the public to create an illusion of fairness and transparency to justify the already made decision. Bit like when they advertise jobs for positions which a preferred candidate has already been selected, or run tenders when there is a pre-chosen supplier already (ala Joe Hockey and the travel agency scam).
