[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 843373, member: 74121"] Perth has a population half the size of Wales (1.8 million). Melbourne has a population bigger than Wales (4.2 million). Just because a market is tough to crack you don't give up on it if you can help it. Having a team in your city is also likely to greatly increase the chance of a kid giving the sport a go and in 15 years time strengthening the national player pool. If theOz sides want to be more competitive they should look to places like Georgia and Argentina to find good talent at low prices to bolster squad depth. That to me is a far more sensible first step when compared to binning a potential market of 6 million. On promotion & relegation I can only see it working if the second division is heavily subsidised financially, the winner of the second division got a crack at the playoffs and each participating country with more than one club was guaranteed one team in the top flight. And all of that is too messy. [/QUOTE]
