I don't care who it was or what colour suit he or she was wearing. Calling both the men and women league the a league is beyond stupid. The only way to know the difference is ninja is women's Isuzu is men.

Gosh imagine them spending all week coming up with that

If thats the only way you can tell the difference mate, Aleague is in a lot more trouble than I thought.
 
so this is about questioning what the Pro leagues are called ?

That was their second biggest mistake. The biggest was totally sidelining Australia's traditional football clubs for their new dawn and replacing them with franchises
 
biggest mistakes

- not expanding earlier, when the league was booming
- not adding smfc, instead adding melbourne heart
- western/macarthur instead of gong/canberra/ipswich/gold coast/tasmania
- putting the league behind a pay wall
- not cooperating with the fa for a second division/transfer system
- killing the youth league and ffa coe team
- palmer getting the gold coast license
- holding the gcu and fury license to ransom on the 2022 world cup bid
- not trying to appeal to football fans, instead focussing on "aussie sports fans"

im sure theres plenty more
 
Biggest mistake to me was the assumption that people would continue to support their own club and get on board their nearest aleague club.

They did/do not understand the passion for club based on history, community, family and identity.

By marketing as racial free instead of a standalone/add-on product they simply reinforced the bonds at the community club level.

Oversimplified but basically what I see as the biggest mistake.

Could they have kept the NSL and had the aleague too? No. Can't have 2 premier top flight competitions especially with our sport's historic derogatory labels.
