Finally someone writes something honest about the FFA

Postby Stuckey Tue May 01, 2012 7:31 pm

It seems fitting that almost 100 years to the day that the Titanic sank, A-League season seven came to its end.

Not since that night in 1912 has something promised so much hope, looked so water-tight and yet become such a spectacular failure, leaving so many demanding an explanation as to how it could have happened.

Season seven of the Hyundai A-League promised so much for Football Federation Australia.

Proclaiming that Western Sydney is the ‘heartland of our game’ during the unveiling of the new franchise, the obvious question then follows:
If that’s the ‘heartland’, why weren’t they given a team from day one?

Western Sydney is a crucial part of football in this country, but to FFA they’re not the ‘heartland’, they’re the back-up plan.

The better question is if Western Sydney is the Heartland why couldn't they organise a team themselves.

Foss said it on TWG about two or three years ago, "If Western Sydney is our heartland then Adelaide is our soul"
