Tasmania FC thread

[rebelliousfeminist974]

I always believed the best option for football would be to convert North Hobart Oval into a rectangular stadium. Maybe that could be the secondary location?

North Hobart Oval would be good as a secondary option to base a prospective Tasmanian A-League side out of when Mac Point is unavailable especially given that it's hosted A-Leagues matches previously and could be the home ground for their Dub games also.

100% agree about the North Hobart Oval comments! (See earlier in this thread!)

In other news, just read this:

Have just listened to this one, pretty much what it says in the screenshot. Rockliff did specifically harp on about York Park way more, which is odd since I think rectangular games would be way better at Mac Point than York Park, but I guess if they want to start sooner rather than later, there is only one option!

Just noticed interview with Tony Pignata on the same show:

If Tony Pignata is giving up on a Tassie A-League side then it's also likely he'll want to give up on Tasmanian sides in the National Second Division.

He already has..... My belief is that this is all part of the "unbundling" of APL clubs having to bear the burden and cost of academies... watch this space in 1-2 years.
