Let's start a second division without promotion and relegation
By your definition is Brisbane Roar is an ethnic club? It was founded by Dutch migrants.
What do football fans want from an Australian second division?
So the ideal A league team criteria from quotes above:
“have their own stadiums and revenue streams”
“a community and a family”
“primitive tribal instinct is still strong”
“Fan ownership of club”
“football-centric”
Sounds like South Melbourne FC to me !!!!!
Declining A-league in desperate need of a shake-up
My boys are 21 and 27 and I have brought them up to love South Melbourne. NPL standard is not the best but they will come to the occasional match. If South every went national they would be the first ones through the gate.
A-League clubs should fear sleeping NSL giants
Works fine in the NPL!
Three reasons why the A-League should adopt promotion and relegation
The day teams like South Melbourne are let in the A League is the day the A League gets fixed.
As for the comment “And if promotion and relegation truly was the only thing holding football back, wouldn’t clubs in the National Premier Leagues be playing in front of packed houses every week?”. How packed would the house be if Victory played in the Victorian NPL?
The A-League has six months to save itself from oblivion
Hi Mike. “But one thing that’s unlikely to win the four-time National Soccer League champions too many sympathisers is the sort of unhinged conspiracy theories – and outright abuse – some South Melbourne supporters unleashed across social media yesterday.”
It’s called PASSION, remember that? Not so much of that in the A-League.
The FFA have made the right decisions on A-League expansion
Hi Steve, you obviously have no ideal about South Melbourne. There are thousands of supporters under 65 that are waiting for South to join the A League. South have been in the NPL for 15 years. Current A-League clubs wouldn’t last 15 minutes in the same situation.
The FFA have made the right decisions on A-League expansion
Go West Melbourne Knights
BREAKING: FFA board decides on A-League expansion clubs as Team 11 reportedly miss out
If this is true the A League is going to the dogs. Time to take it to the international courts and FIFA.

The A League without SMFC is embarrassing.
Attendance of 200? That was the SMFC v Bentleigh Under 12s match.
A League expansion is finally here
Hi Janakan, have a look at this https://www.facebook.com/smfc59/.
Not A league standard? What did you have in mind?
A League expansion is finally here
“Where will the fans come from?” I will be a new fan of the A league if my team gets in. No South Melbourne, no new fan. NPL and English Premier League for me until that day comes.
One question which can't be overlooked in the FFA's expansion of the A-League
Hi Nick, with all due respect “I don’t see South Melbourne ever becoming part of the A-League with their nationalistic background”????
Enough already.
South Melbourne is Australian.
My picks for A-League expansion
As a South Melbourne fan I’m not questioning the clubs identity. South Melbourne FC is an Australian football club that’s playing in the second division and wants to be promoted to the first division, that’s it. As for “against Modern Football”, football is football, there is only one.
My picks for A-League expansion
Want a team in South East Melbourne? Here is one we prepared earlier.

What the FFA doesn't care about in A-League expansion
Want a team in Melbourne’s south east? South Melbourne is in the SE and all are welcome.
What the FFA doesn't care about in A-League expansion
The A-league have had 20 years and ended up a huge failure, Go NSD!
Could a National Second Division be more popular than the A-League?
