Makes absolutely no sense when 2 neighbouring clubs can't field full compliment of teams......

Heard similar rumour, bit hard to kick out the team on top of the ladder!! Don't think 12 teams is the issue, their main issue is getting rid of the Bye. 14 teams looks like the option.

Reading the Hansard transcript from recent Select Committee investigation, this seems unlikely. They seem pretty hellbent on making the competition 12 teams.

Yes, that was a promise if the Liberals won the last election. NXT will hold them to it. No reason for the new facilities not to go ahead at Mt Barker. A good time, if ever, to add a team. Murray Bridge, Strathalbyn and all the other hills towns within 30 minutes. Makes it realistic for players (junior and senior) to make two trainings per week and hopefully a bigger web would collect more future Redbacks. They have a premier Soccer team at Woodside. Reading the local school newsletter you have kids in this area wanting to be soccer players "when they grow up". Same principle as AFL expanding to new markets. [b][b]Build it and they will come.[/b][/b]

Having read the transcript, it seems one of the clubs has spent a considerable amount on junior development and they haven't come.
Hearing that Barossa has had a considerable decline in junior sides this season, which doesn't assist Northern based clubs.
SACA not to keen to add female sides at present as they don't want to dilute the talent pool, would a 14th team not have the same affect?

That a few clubs are struggling to fill lower grades is an issue no doubt and needs some resources thrown at it to fix.
