NRL should be giving games away in Europe and Nth America. They still haven't woken up to the potential to take our game to a bigger audience. Mind you they can't spread it around the country so i guess the world is a bit much to ask!

Sod's law says it will happen when I move back to England

The troll handle seems quite apt.

Tough guy too.

Thanks for the heads up, EA.

is this programme available to view online anywhere?

www.brisbanetimes.com.au/sport/a ... N_Yww2rNgg shows how difficult expansion is and soccer is very popular on the gold coast too. cant survive on sub 5000 crowds though and nth queensland had to be bailed out as well.

"Palmer eventually handed over matchday operations to the FFA, who subsequently invested more than $1 million in marketing and promotion without any discernible benefit. Crowds steadfastly remained the lowest in the competition [average 5392] - a lack of community support which seems to have convinced the FFA that the situation on the ground cannot be remedied with a quick fix."

jeeze the FFA is wasting money like the aru did, when will these guys learn?

Yet more confirmation rugby league is driving the expansion agenda in Australian sport.

It wasn't exactly rocket science that these areas weren't crying out for teams.

Identical to GWS and GCFC in the AFL expansion plans...

More money to be flushed down the drain before this saga ends.

the ffa saved them but they released fowler cause they dont have money to keep him

at $750k a year I'm not surprised! Soccer needs to realise it can't afford to be paying the wages it is on the income it has.
