Western Sydney Football Club Ltd is the name settled on by the AFL for the second club to be based in New South Wales.
AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou said the team will be formally introduced to the competition some time after the 2010 season.
But is Sydney’s West the right spot to run the AFL’s 18th licence?
Sydney Swans’ figures (memberships, TV ratings, attendances, etc.) are heading down instead of up it’s a worry to think about introducing a team in a high Rugby and football culture.
In my opinion if Andrew Demetriou wants another NSW AFL team I think the best place to put it is in the Central Coast.
The Central Coast is dying for other codes other than just football and an AFL team is just what they need. As for Western Sydney I think another A league team is perfect for the culture there.
