As the buzz grows for A league expansion, the Nix find themselves, shall we say, drifting a tad. In the unlikely event of us being top 4 material over the next 12-18 months, I wonder if the success or otherwise of ACFC's progression towards A league status is actually our best chance of overcoming the first 4 year hurdle?
The way things are, I think our best chance of overcoming the 4 year hurdle is if the FFA gives a new license to an even number (2, 4) of new clubs that they deem likely to survive financially. In contrast, if they find three (excluding ACFC) over the next few years then we might be screwed, purely because they won't need us anymore.
