dRoy Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Perth is roughly, as the crow flies, 100kms closer than Auckland. So how would that save on Travel time? You also have to pay a lot more in taxes due it being an International flight to Auckland. Stop talking sense. You're ruining his argument.

LR9 Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 It would be offset by the money saved form Wellington having a 'local' away fixture and also they money saved from Perth traveling to Wellington and vice versa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) Fuck Perth off already, instantly save fuck-loads in travel costs. Australia is to big to afford traveling there every 2nd week. No. But FFA need to stop forcing other teams to subsidise Perth for its distance. Stop paying for every teams' away trips, give the money they spend on that to teams, either split evenly or added to prize money, and let teams pay their own way. Then perth are paying for the cost of them being so far away instead of the other teams subsiding them.

LR9 Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) added to the prize money What prize money? There is no financial benefit in winning they league other then potential sponsors, or melting down the the medals and trophies for scrap metal. Clubs also make 0 dollars form hosting games during the finals, the league takes all profits(/losses). Even in the Asian Champions League, the league took Adelaide's prize money.

LR9 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Jets to continue under FFA/HSG agreement!! Football Federation Australia (FFA) and Hunter Sports Group (HSG) have today reaffirmed their commitment to working together for the good of the Newcastle Jets, the Hyundai A-League and football in the Hunter Valley. The announcement follows talks that have resolved various issues related to the operation of the Hyundai A-League licence held by HSG. As a result, the Newcastle Jets under the ownership of HSG will continue to participate in the Hyundai A-League. FFA Chairman, Mr Frank Lowy AC, and HSG Chairman, Mr Nathan Tinkler, held face-to-face talks over the weekend. Mr Lowy said the discussions were characterised by goodwill brought to the table by both parties. “It was a good opportunity for Nathan and I to meet face-to-face and resolve the issues that had affected the relationship between FFA and HSG,” said Mr Lowy. “FFA has made some concessions in good faith in order to resolve the matters. “When Nathan first took on the Newcastle Jets, I welcomed his commitment to running a strong and successful A-League club in Newcastle on behalf of the community of the Hunter region. “Today, my confidence is renewed over Nathan’s personal drive to make the Jets and the Hyundai A-League successful. We agreed on a way forward that addresses the issues HSG have raised and we are now going to get on with developing the game together in a key region for football. “With more than 10,000 Jets members and an average crowd this season over 12,000 HSG has demonstrated its ability to engage with the community and to run a successful team and club.” Mr Tinkler said that from time to time parties in any business will have differences, but that there is now an opportunity for FFA and HSG to work together in achieving shared goals. “Frank Lowy flew to Brisbane to meet with me face-to-face and I took that as a sign of goodwill,” said Mr Tinkler. “It was a gesture I certainly appreciated. “I welcomed the opportunity to meet and discuss these issues in person. We now have a way forward and I remain committed to ensuring the Newcastle Jets is one of the most successful clubs in the Hyundai A-League. “I am delighted to be able to support the Newcastle Jets on behalf of football fans in the Hunter region and to continue to build a strong relationship with the community. “When I first made this commitment I did it on behalf of the community and I am committed to further developing football and sport in a community I grew up in and am proud of.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 This is the key point: “Frank Lowy flew to Brisbane to meet with me face-to-face and I took that as a sign of goodwill,” said Mr Tinkler. “It was a gesture I certainly appreciated. “I welcomed the opportunity to meet and discuss these issues in person. We now have a way forward and I remain committed to ensuring the Newcastle Jets is one of the most successful clubs in the Hyundai A-League." So much better than sniping at one another via the media. It's what should have happened with GCU. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
