Regarding player development - all leagues around the world are nothing more than development leagues for the big 5 in Europe. And the sooner the clubs come to accept this then they can build around that. This means more money for the clubs if they sign and develop the right players. For the fans, we have the national team. Just go and read the comments in the U20 thread, specially regarding Bennie.
Do we need grounds with lower capacity and more training space? Yes but FA is not the AFL or NRL where state and federal governments build the grounds for them or redevelop them. As fans we could help by demanding that other sports share some of the loot.
Do the players and coaches care at MC? Absolutely, they are professionals and don't tell me that Caputo, Wong, Memehti don't dream of landing a European league contract. The real problem is when you have journeyman like Lachlan Wales and a few others and of course bringing star footballers way past their prime - hello Mata. Visa players should be better than the local product and be able to assist the development of the younger players.

I was reading the Eredivisie , 6th ranked in Europe /UEFA, is considered a development league!

Below are the City Fan Forum tweets for anyone that doesn't use twitter.

Michael Petrillo on Men January Transfer Window
“We are no different to any other club, we didn’t have any budget to bring any players in the window”
We knew we were starting to bring players back from injury”

Brad Rowse on moving men matches to Casey
“There is no plans. We needed a facility that would plan and build for the future. We are on a 30 year lease, it gave us security and for us to grow into the future for all facets of the club”
“ Casey has given us a home for our women’s team which is critical. The project for the mini stadium is $10million dollars which is on hold.

On Men at AAMI Park
“The club is currently in negotiation to extend the lease with AAMI Park for the long term and have no intention to move games away.

Brad Rowse on Fan Attendances
“The league decisions regarding GF have not helped as well as COVID Lockdowns.
We have a five year strategic plan on how we grow the club.

One of the main things for the growth is introduction of City Football Schools.
Over 10,000 kids enrolled and get a kit as well which have broaden the appeal of the club.

Brad Rowse on Active Support
“The club will always offer support and resources to help the growth of active.
Has to be fan driven and club will always offer support to help growth.
We want it as big and loud as possible we can”.

On South End becoming GA
“It’s time to revisit the idea of having the South End be General Admission”.

On Ticket Prices
“We have given free tickets they haven’t worked and increased attendance other than one McDonald’s promotion which filled the GA”

On Optics of Empty Stadium and any plans to build a stadium
“Stadium size in Australia should be 10-15k and it does kill the atmosphere”
We plan to stay at AAMI and absolutely committed to filling AAMI Park over 10k, club is desperate to get the attendance and atmosphere up”
We need members feedback and ideas to help grow the club and attendance.

Brad Rowse on the League sustainability
“There lots of green shoots but not growing as fast as we like.
The CFG is here for the long haul and commitment to the long term growth of Australian Football”.

On signing Marquee players :
“This is debated internally. We would dearly love to and have debated it numerous times”.
At this point in time our view is that it’s not sustainable and economics don’t stack up”.
Unless we can find someone who can turn the dial and is able to compete and contribute.
If we find some one who fits that bill and economically viable we would certainly look at it
All fans are always open to watch our training sessions and interact with the players.

On the Academy
All our academy teams have full time professional coaches and world class curriculum and learning from Manchester that no other A-League clubs have.
Our methodology is the same method and style for every age group.
Our players are playing above their age group which increases development and ready.
We are there to develop players and not always interested in winning more about the development of the players

Club reiterates the intent of every decision club make is for the best possible fan experience in the stands and on the pitch.
The club is wanting to do these fan forums quarterly.

If you have any queries to raise - you can raise them with the City Fan Representative Group.
