How in the world is there still a pulse?? Surely the vote to approve the development doesn't get through. Just give Ironbark fields in its current state to an NPL team and move on.

Thats great but what are the numbers??

The answer is they know they can likely rely on SMFC delivering crowds around 10k per week every week. Thats enticing because the majority of expansion teams in the A-league have been failures. Canberra won't happen.

Im not doubting they are bigger than both those clubs. At a guess, how big is this "huge demographic" do you think?

If there is any substance to the rumours that South Melbourne are in discussions with the APLs for the Western United licence, i think there will be a decent knock on affect for professional football in Melbourne, and it's a good time to be able to plan accordingly: - This would force the APLs...

Rumour going round on twitter over the weekend was that the APLs approached South Melbourne about buying the Western United Licence. Anyone have any insights into this?

This is smart. Very very smart. Well done to the Bulls.
