Which it is clearly not, they have Central Coast on the list with 1.Unless they're counting the Central Coast as part of Sydney.
Thank you for you totally unbiased findingsThis remains the most complete report admittedly in AU football and the proof is in the fact that no one could argue against its actual findings and recommendations, so (APL, PFA and their cronies) only avenue to challenge it, was on some apparent bias towards surprise surprise the clubs it represented for a second tier!
The actual reqlity is that simple!
My biases play zero role in the absolute accuracy of the report though....again, I reiterate, the fact that it cant be challeneged on its actual recomendations is proof to it!Thank you for you totally unbiased findings![]()

Wellington Phoenix had their games in Wollongong during the Covid-affected season 2020-21 so were essentially a NSW-based side throughout then.Which season was it that Wellington played in Wollongong? maybe they just saw that and thought they where a NSW side?

Good point.. Oh well I guess they were trying to artificially make the Aleague look bigger than it really is, I mean 3 franchises representing 20% of population doesn't have the same ring to it as 4....The graph has a spot for Wollongong, it was not a state based graph.
yeah there will usually be typos in most professional papers to be honest.Still a great and well intentioned document. They actually went out and gathered the data and got the ball rolling when no one else would.
