The A-League has announced it's first expansion club for the 2009-2010 season, with the Gold Coast getting the first nod from Football Federation Australia (FFA). FFA is yet to announce the limit of this first Expansion, i have read some articles that say the league may grow from 8 to 12 temas in one hit. Heres the article:

June 06, 2008 SYDNEY FC has a rival as the A-League's glamour club after Australia's fourth richest man arrived by helicopter to sign Gold Coast United's licence.

advancing the case for a dedicated Rectangular in Perth FFA has granted a provisional licence to a side from North Queensland. I was aware of 2 bids for the new licence both from Townsville, but the article in todays West Australian doesn't say which one won the licence. So this takes the A-League to 10 teams from 2009-10 and adds a minimum of 2 extra games

Good, I believe AFL should be dealt with like the Yanks dealt with the Commies, containment until they eventually die off. This is a move to make the market too full in the Gold Coast for a AFL team to succeed.
No BLR we are not going to round up all the AFL supporters in to 'Happy Camps'
pssssstt we will talk later.

rugby league got in first and now football will be playing out of the same stadium. A problem with the AFL plan for a team on the Gold Coast is they may divide the support for the Brisbane Lions. Instead of the Lions attracting a crowd of 25-30k they way have both sides playing in front of 10-15k

Ultimately, the A-League wants enough teams so that it can get four entries into the Asian Champions League. That competition is undergoing a major expansion next year but the A-League will still only have 2 places allocated to it.
Now if the Glory would just get its act together...
