Lol, I'll be ****ing supporting GC and NQ this season because they are the new teams and I hope they succeed tbh. I never really got behind Sydney in the first place tbh. Waiting for the Western Sydney team.
Sydney won't get a 2nd team until they got a consistant big following and crowd figures around 20,000 to each home game.
60% of teams will make the finals. As a club CEO that's a pretty good guarantee for on field and off field success...
Exactly, you can be absolute balls all year, limp into 6th spot and get a game in the finals? What a farce. Should of left it top four.
In English football, Championship and lower, the top 2 teams get promoted, then 3rd to 6th are put in play offs. Thats 6 teams out of 24!. There's no logic behind making it a 6 team final system with only what? 10 teams in the league? ________ LIVE SEX WEBSHOWS
1 v 2 play off over two legs to go straight into the final. 3 play 6 in the first week with 4 against 5. Only one leg though and the two winners face off over one leg again the round after. The winner of that game plays the loser of 1 v 2 for a place in the final.
Problem is they put more games in almost the same period of time. It needs to be longer + a knockout comp with the State leagues. 12 teams all play each other twice home and away (24 games) + Each team plays 4 games against teams which will bring max profit. (2 home, 2 away) ie. derbies/rivals etc = 28 games.
An Australian version of the FA Cup would be epic. With all the teams in Australia being involved ________ BBS TEEN
They'd never make an FA Cup-style knockout competition with the state league teams, because then there'd be the possibility of a Bonnyrigg v Sydney United match-up, or something similar... which is one of the major reasons why the NSL failed and they made the A-League. I'd love a knockout competition as well, but it'd never happen in Australia IMO.
