Relocate to FNQ during winter. Good weather. Friday night games. Saturday games x 2 and Saturday evening. Remainder of games on Sunday. Easily fixed.
Despite its clear quality, the A-League is being swamped by revitalised winter codes
Summer football may not exist in a decade. Low attendances means some clubs could go under. Once 2 or 3 fold then it’s a deck of card scene.

Promotion/relegation will not happen in Australia. A League cant get enough bums on seats to watch the top level (compares to 3rd Division in UK) So there is no way any business will invest via sponsorship in clubs/teams that will not be shown on TV. Sponsors want their investments seen. Second division club players come from where? They are average ‘joe blows’ who have normal day jobs. They need to take time of work to fly interstate, play games and return. Not many employers will put up with that.

You need to realise that ground capacity was limited to 50%. Perth stadium holds 60,000 so 50% is 30,000

They should be in tip top condition. It’s the national game
Why shouldn't Cairns be home to an A-League club?
Just shows how behind the times you are. Test cricket has not been on ch9 for over 2 years
It's high time football started to stand up for itself
You say that the AFL get stadiums built for them. Marvel stadium is owed outright by the AFL.
SCG, Adelaide Oval,Optus Stadium, Gabba, the AFL pay a yearly rent to use these grounds.
You failed to mention that Perth Glory’s ground was funded 50/50 by the state and local shire governments. Not one cent from the FFA or Perth Glory
It's high time football started to stand up for itself
A League ranks lower than 4th division in the UK.
Speak to ex pomes who can compare

9 years later,nothing has changed. In fact gone backwards

Football needs to engage with more Asian Australians
Question needs to be asked as to why Asians are not interested in the local soccer as players or spectators?
The standard of play? Greater atmoshere at another sport/code?

The Roar's A-League expert tips and predictions: Match Week 3
Get rid of the offside rule. Hockey did it years ago and look how more entertaining that sport is now
Less whingeing, more fun: Football needs to sell entertainment in 2021

A 2nd team in QLD and WA would be ideal.
But it aint going to happen.No interest. Perff Glory can only attract 8,000 at home and that with no AFL games to compete with.
What Melbourne City’s move could mean for expansion
Expansion?
Your kidding me. Many clubs are half broke. One that comes to mind is Phonix.
Salary cap infrungments from Perth Glory.
Forget a secod team in Perth. Battling to get more than 8,000. And that was when they were a top side.
FFA has no long term broadcast deals. Cant decied wheather to have a summer or winter competition, and over the past 10 years attendences have trended downwards.
So untill all clubs are making money,there is a decent TV deal and the FFA sets itself straight on when to play games and only then should talk about extra clubs and 2nd division be mentioned let alone put ino action.

SO this guy was one of the greatest soccer players, but only 8 people commented. Just shows how little the so called followers of the world game in Australia know about him.
Tributes pour in for Diego Maradona after football legend's death
Western Sydney Wanderers v Macarthur FC – 22,000. Doubt it. 12,000 if your lucky
