What the A-League is missing is the combination of “old” football and “new” football. Having all new teams does not allow for passion, history and rivalry, and rivalry is what football lives on.
What would the EPL be without derby games like the Merseyside derby, Manchester derby, and all the London derbies?
There would definitely be no more mouth-watering matches than Melbourne Victory versus South Melbourne, Sydney FC versus Sydney United or Sydney Olympic. These matches would easily draw crowds over 20,000.
The time has come for the FFA to embrace “old” football and let it move forward with the positives movements we are seeing in the game.
Football is an entertainment business, and the FFA must stop trying to create a false sense of excitement and give people what they really want – atmosphere.
The list below is a mix of “old” and “new” football coming together for a B-League, more exciting, in my opinion, than the A-League:
– Perth SC. Joondalup Arena, looking for crowds from 3,500 – 5,500.
– South Melbourne FC. Playing out of Bob Jane Stadium, looking to average crowds of 6,000 – 8,000.
– Darwin FC (new franchise). Playing out of Marrara Stadium, looking for crowds of 4,000 – 6,000.
– Sydney Olympic FC. Playing out of Belmore Sports Ground, looking for crowds of around 5,000 – 7,000.
– Brisbane City. Playing from Spensor Park, looking for crowds around 5,000 – 7,000.
– South Coast Wolves. Playing from WIN Stadium, looking for crowds around 4,000 – 6,000.
– Tasmania FC (new franchise). Playing out of Devon Port Oval, hoping for crowds around 3,000 – 5,000.
– Sydney United FC. Playing from Edensor Park, looking for crowds around 5,000 – 7,000.
– Adelaide Metrostars. Playing from Hindmarsh Stadium, looking for crowds around 4,000 – 6,000.
– Richmond or Gippsland (new franchise). Stadium to be determined.
– Sutherland Sharks. Playing from Seymour Saw Ground, looking for crowds of around 3.500 – 5,500 (ground will get an upgrade).
– Auckland United (new franchise). North Harbour Stadium, looking for crowds 4,000 plus.
