A lot of these ethnic clubs were part of the top tier for 30 years and league was dead.

What can they do differently now, that they didn't do 20 years ago. Or will the championship just be a rinse and repeat of the NSL?

There were alot of non-ethnic clubs as part of the NSL , what did THEY do to save the league?

What is the APL doing now to market the game to a new exiting fan base? Or to bring in more geographical McFranchises and to stop some of the smaller ones from folding? Where is the 16th club promised to start next season?

I understand you have been lead to beleive the myth that the Aleague is some sort of superior organisational structure but it really isnt mate.... take away the "wog names" from the NSL and its really the same shit, rinse and repeat from 30 years ago .... you'll see.

South Melbourne is a McFranchise playing at Lakeside. The moment they gave up their home, South Melbourne became a franchise begging to be allowed into the closed shop franchise.

Il give it to the A-League it is a professional league, it seems like now we are finally exporting youngish players to bigger or middling euro clubs since maybe late NSL era?

really I didnt realize that we pay a central head office for the right to operate as a football club I thought we whre members owned and a community not for profit sporting organisation? You learn something new every day I guess.... As for Middle Park, bit hard to play under 4 feet of asphalt but if that makes us a real club I guess we can always try.

If Souths were part of the “franchise league” from the get go, the same anti a-league Souths fans would be calling the franchise league the greatest league on planet earth.
