Hey Brad and Sogg 👋 Thanks for your informative video 📹 about the Australia Cup 🇦🇺 🏆 and the revamped ACL Elite and ACL 2 Asian club competitions ⚽️🏆. I'm really excited for each of these cup competitions this coming season. I'll be going to watch NWS Spirit vs. Glenorchy Knights from Tassie at Christie Park on Wednesday, 7th August. In terms of the ACL club competitions, I'm glad they've been completely revamped to improve the standard of both competitions. CCM and Sydney FC will have their work cut out for them however with the increase in prize money 💰, there's even more incentive to go as far as possible. I read the winner of the ACL Elite will receive $18 million AUD and the winner of the ACL 2 receives very close to $5 million AUD in prize money 💰 Winning the Australia Cup and finishing 1st in the A-League table is even more important for all A-League clubs now.
Why have a new Auckland team in the A-League when the clearly the Knights failed in the past? Bit dodgy for me. Although a big massive Congrats to Canberra, they deserve it. When will the A-League start taking regional football seriously? It just saddens me that I want to follow the A-League but cannot find a team from Tasmania.
Auckland is the biggest market in Australia-New Zealand without a team. I think like Gold Coast and Nth Queensland, an Auckland team can succeed when done right. And they seem to be doing something right with Bill Foley and co. Hopefully Tasmania will get a team in the next round of expansion and in the National Second Tier
@@ALeagueCouchCritics I think you are quite missing my point, and for you to see my point you must play devils advocate. Firstly, I dislike the idea of going back into markets that failed over new markets. In my opinion Auckland, Gold Coast and Northern Queensland should not have top priority for expansion. They had their chance, why go back? That was the crux on why I am happy for Canberra and upset with Auckland. I am not going to discuss Second Tier. It's NSL part II. As for expansions, I doubt A-League will expand further and if they do they will ignore Tasmania again. As seen with basketball, a Tasmanian team will have a great fan base, passionate loyalty and wherever they play will have a Tassie contingent in the crowd. I just wish the heads of A-League would see this and not the "chuck another team in Sydney, Melbourne, or New Zealand" mentality that we have seen over the past 10 years
Auckland had 4 different bidders for its licence while Canberra has been delayed until 25/26 and if Canberra is struggling to get itself sorted what chance does Tasmania have?
@@TOTN17 Canberra is different to Hobart. A lot different. We have a government that is focused on sport (MyState Arena and the AFL stadium are two examples). A rectangular stadium could arise in the works. So to answer your question it has a great chance.
@@redthezz If Canberra a city with almost twice the population of Hobart and far more disposable income is struggling to find an owner then what chance does Hobart have through it doesn't matter now as its now being rumoured that South Hobart under the name Team Tasmania has been approved for the NSD pending an official announcement if that rumour is true any chance of an A-League team in Tasmania is dead in the water as Tasmania cannot support 2 pro clubs
Need to introduce a R64 next year. Get the A-League teams that finish outside the 8 to start their Aust Cup at the R64 stage, imo
R64 could only work if its regionalised otherwise the travel costs would spike drastically, and the State Fed Clubs would struggle with that

Thanks for watching!
You were kind of right Brad - Edgeworth were founded in 1892, but changed their name to Edgeworth in 1960 from Young Wallsend
