South Coast want solo A-League bid

South Coast want solo A-League bid

South Coast FC say they want to have a solo bid for the A-League, not a merged bid with West Sydney.

The Wollongong-based bid were told that Football Federation Australia wanted to merge their bid with that of a proposed West Sydney club but they are intent on winning their own way into the A-League.

South Coast FC bid chairman Eddy De Gabriele said, “SCFC Ltd has re-aligned its A-League Bid strategy around a stronger focus on delivering A-League Football to a wider audience and community through the south west corridor.

“This will ensure a stronger opportunity of presenting a viable, sustainable, attractive and inclusive A-League bid proposal across this area west of Sydney and through regional NSW.

"We have decided that the best course to serve our community, and give them a foothold into the competition, is through a broader submission which will meet the FFA criteria.

"The corridor west of Sydney is becoming more closely connected to the South Coast so it makes absolute sense that one A-League club can serve this expanded area.

"This is not a West Sydney bid but a broader and totally independent bid with a different geographical boundary and ambition."

This is good, i think that the only reason that the FFA wanted to merge the two bids is because their beloved western sydney doesn't have the funds yet.
