Exclusive update from the big man himself

"I am still very hopeful, we do have a very large chunk of the start up capital, but wish we had more, we do need more foundation members too. I too am very frustrated, I have been on this journey since May last year and have been working hard with my committee to make it happen. There is no doubt that we have impressed them, I get the very distinct vibe that their preference is for another team into Sydney, we have put the cat amongst the pigeons and yes there is the possibility that we would be part of an even more expanded comp."

ouch IMO, doesn't sound too good at all.

As Cpl Fraser once said, "We're DOOMED Captain Mainwaring"! (At least in the short term).

Really doesn't look the greatest IMO. Looks as though it will go to 12 teams with just Western Sydney.

Well it doesnt really inform us anything that we didn't know.. I think our guessing is on target so far..

He really doesn't sound very confident. Quotes that support my statement:

"I am still very hopeful"

"but wish we had more"

"I too am very frustrated, I have been on this journey since May last year and have been working hard with my committee to make it happen"

I get the very distinct vibe that their preference is for another team into Sydney

Oh well. Doesn't look great for the future. Because it looks as though we won't get in and I remember reading on here that the FFA have said that they will take a break from expansion after this.

I really want this team and TBH we deserve it for all the effort we put in

Hear, Hear

For all the effort we have put in.... all the money we have gained....all the community support we've got....all the sponsors we've got.... it'd be disgusting if we didn't get the licence.

If we don't get in now, all the money will be lost, as will community support.

C'Mon FFA, gives us a licence!!

at least the members get refunds. I think

I'm interested in seeing what Ben Buckley will say if we don't get in...
