Construction on their new 15,000 seater Wyndham City Stadium as below is to start very soon. This news today may delay that? But I think the local Council are the major financiers of the new ground?
If they do get into financial trouble it wouldn't surprise if the APL put together a deal to keep them going.
Yeah the APL are cash strapped but with WU close to having their own cool 15K rectangular ground, is some hope they can grow their fan base and survive. It is a fast growing popn corridor Melbourne's West. As the photo below shows a large immigrant football mad community to try tap into.
But then if say Sth Melbourne (based inner city at Albert Park) gets big crowds when the new Australian Championship (2nd tier) kicks off later this year, the whole A League licence stuff will yes rear it's head again.
