A-League Expansion Video

An interesting video about expansion, and have practically ruled out Tasmania and Canberra

Most interestingly was that South Coast is now considered serious contender- more than Canberra.

They had "Stakes" and this is what it looked like:

150-1 Canberra
250-1 Tasmania
20-1 Western Sydney (Lucas Neill)
10-1 Wanderers FC (Chris Tanner)
SCR Joe Meissner
10-1 Western Sydney (Ian Rowden)
20-1 NSW South Coast (Eddy De Gabriele)

From the video

Clubs are expected to be self financing

add...unless you are from Western Sydney in which case we'll help you out despite any number of grubby little people such as Tanner being involved in the bids from there.

That is the ONE thing I cannot understand. FFA come out and say, Canberra don't yet have the start-up money therefore are unlikely to get in, but then come out the next day and say if necessary we will help Western Sydney if they can't find the money.

It is all BS.
