Rudan really is a s**t man
Nothing surprises me about this bloke anymore. These legal proceedings have the potential to cripple the club completely.

And compete with AFL? k
AFL, the biggest sporting code in the country, will kill A-League ratings. I'd like to hear a counter argumentOpen to Explore/discuss on possibilities is usually a nice way of saying yeah/nah thanks but no thanks! Just to appease a few minorities.

This was my take on it tooOpen to Explore/discuss on possibilities is usually a nice way of saying yeah/nah thanks but no thanks! Just to appease a few minorities.
Sorry, but we should be killing the NBL... And it's a realistic opponent to go up against. Too many "all they do is dive" opinions from AFL/rugby land. At least NBL might be open-minded families.To be fair not like we get “clean air” now.
Cricket, NBL, and both codes still dominate the media.
Then you have things such as going to the beach in summer and late nights to get cooler temps and Summer isn’t working either.

And with the beach, if they don't put games at the hottest time of day, maybe people will consider HAL instead of the beach!
Summer is probably better time to get the non committed soccer fans or those general sports fans. There will be a need for the game to be focused upon having a good product with a more strategic focus that imo mixes the nbl and previous bbl systems (but with the acl and how most contracts work it would involve partial cross over with winter sports).Sorry, but we should be killing the NBL...

It doesn't matter either way, if it's not done right (which it hasn't been) it doesn't matter when its played. The broadcast arrangement and care from the broadcasters is key to the success, which hasn't been happening for years. Good match times and marketing (including getting the traditional supporters on side) is key to either placement.Nothing to be sorry about, you are right we should. But we are still 10 pages in wether summer or winter. We aren’t getting the clear air summer was supposed to bring.
Thing is by that time it’s late at night. We need kids involved as well as adults.
I’m not saying we should move just that it’s not so clear cut to stay summer.

Definitely good move. Has been building for years and there's been a fair bit of momentum for it due to the NWL and now the World Cup bid. Look forward to actually tuning in if they get throughA-League club aiming to start new W-League team

Wellington Phoenix have announced their desire to field a team in Australia's W-League.
Buoyed by the growth of women's soccer in New Zealand and the possibility of co-hosting the 2023 Women's World Cup with Australia, Phoenix general manager David Dome said the time is right to push for a W-League licence.
The concept has been mooted for several years but Dome said significant commercial progress had been made before the coronavirus pandemic interrupted sport.
He is working closely with NZ Football, who regard a progressional team as critical for the development of the 23rd-ranked Football Ferns national team, as well as providing a pathway for junior talent.
The biggest barrier is financial, with Phoenix owners wanting the team to be cost-neutral.
"'We had made significant progress pre-COVID and if we are to look at this positively, we have a very sound base to continue to build from," Dome said.
"More so than ever there are some significant financial and logistical challenges around professional sport but I believe that with the strong support of some key stakeholders, and most importantly of all the added prospect of a FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand in 2023, this is an unprecedented and unique opportunity that may never present itself again."
Any Phoenix women's team would probably be based in Australia because of the prohibitive costs of regular trans-Tasman travel.
Of the 11 current A-League clubs, only Wellington, Central Coast and the newly-formed Western United don't compete in the W-League. Central Coast contested the inaugural 2008-09 season but were dissolved a year later.
Oceania Football Confederation general secretary Franck Castillo threw his support behind the push, saying the Phoenix could be a pathway for players in the wider Pacific region.

Good move? and why not? Aucklander Andonis1997

It's just now logistics, do we base ourselves in Aus or NZ, and then with solely NZ players or mix?
It may be the future but there needs to be fta coverage to draw in those casual observers. I'm not sure if I would be willing to pay for another service (if it were to be through a paid service). If it were to be just like a YouTube channel it wouldn't be that bad but I still think for the competition at this point still needs to have atleast some sort of traditional media.Netflix-style 'FFA TV' streaming platform is the future, says sports technology expert

By SBS The World Game
The site in Banksia is located in Sydney's south, less than 10 minutes away from Sydney airport.
On Tuesday, FFA lodged a formal enquiry with the local council who own the location, as reported by The Sydney Morning Herald.
"We received the letter this afternoon from James Johnson, FFA chief executive," Bayside mayor Joe Awada said.
"We will go through what’s been offered and what the benefits are to the local community. I am happy to talk to Football Federation Australia and keep them in mind but at this stage, it is very early to say."
FFA also intend to use the site for community programs and multicultural events when it's not occupied by one of the national teams.
Should Australia and New Zealand's joint Women's World Cup bid be successful on Friday morning (AEST), the plan is for the 'home of football' to be ready for the 2023 tournament.
Many European countries, including England, France, Italy and Spain have similar facilities for their national teams.
