Thanks for the pod, boys. Quality as usual.
In regards to a Melbourne and Sydney team that will probably get chosen, it won't be South Melbourne. The Melbourne clubs are already "split" either side of the Yarra River, or so they say so you'll be screwing with Melbourne City's fanbase (as Victory have a big enough fanbase).
Also, South are still too Greek-central. Their fans are all ethnic and why would the FFA want that when the RBB can still be unruly? Because South's fans will be, they're stuck in the NSL days.
Considering they spread the rumour that we were in talks with them on their official page(!!!), they're getting desperate. They're not an in-favour bid.
Southern Expansion is most likely dead too, if Wollongong wants its own standalone team and expect to be in the A-League by the end of this bidding process ?
