But, i can tell you that if there was to be a new team in those competitions, it will be a FFSA backed uniformed club, similar to the approach Football West has currently in the plans.

Development-wise that sounds good. But the FFSA has zero fans. Who is going to attend an FFSA FC team?
The point I see of a second club would be to offer a point of difference to AU. Whether that be location, representation or image. I can't see FFSA being significantly different to what AU represents.

I said a FFSA backed team, it wont be a new team as such, but made up of a number of current clubs.
It will be made up from a particular zone.
Originally the plans were for a northern Adelaide team backed by FFSA, but since then Adelaide United found this issue out, and did a deal with Playford Council.

It looks very much like the original MC badge to these tired, old eyes.

There is still no way WAH will get into the A League, as they have no supporters, well nowhere near the League's basic requirement of 5,000, potentially.

What is ethnic about it?

$25????

Well if I went to The Adelside Casino on A Saturday night this week it will cost me $5 for a Fish And Chip meal, GO to the Sports bar while EPL is on and buy Carlsberg for $5 a bottle .
For my $25 and the football is better.

I might be posting on FN under my real name from August 2000 but I do get around under stealth observing sport and events in Adelaide Town and I know what I am talking about ,

Let's make South Australia Great again?

Baptista wrote:I do not see the issue at all, would you rather West Adelaide roll out Rob Di troia as their proposed A-League coach?

However I believe if Adelaide City or West Adelaide want to be realistically considered as a second A-League team in SA they will need to change their badge and strip in order to be truly an Australian Club (not that I agree with the FFA direction on this, I would love to see teams of ethnic background in the national league).

I actually think West Adelaide have a better chance than Adelaide City to obtain an A-League license as they can represent a geographical area unlike Adelaide City who really have no base to market to in light of Adelaide United.

It would be great to have a club from the Western suburbs to support!

I reckon good on them and Adelaide City (if they are submitting likewise) for trying to expand the National top level in South Australia. They have plans and vision which is aiming for the topand can only mean inproving the depth of competition in SA. Cheers geoffp

More SA Govt money into soccer pitches all good.

But why is FFSA charging over the top fees for clubs to use them?

Wrong for tax payer funding .
