THE STATE OF PLAY FOR A-LEAGUE EXPANSION BIDS* TasmaniaStatus: Mega-wealthy former Victory investors Harry Stamoulis and Robert Belteky have already met with FFA, saying theyre ready to go from next year with support from all levels of government.
[b]Nike Vapormax Promo[/b] .Pros: A cheap stadium deal, as well as plenty of dollars and know-how from Stamoulis and Belteky.Cons: Football is far from the top game in this AFL-mad state, with little infrastructure and growth potential in a limited market.* AucklandStatus: Very early days to quote Auckland Citys chairman Ivan Vuksich. The New Zealand powerhouse is the only realistic option for expansion across the ditch, but would require a leap of faith from FFA.Pros: Successful football pedigree, the chance for a Kiwi derby and weekly A-League content in New Zealand, a strong catchment of 1.5 million.Cons: Questions of commitment. From the club, FFA, NZ Football and potential investors.* CanberraStatus: Up in the air. Governing body Capital Football isnt bidding and previous A-League aspirant investor Ivan Slavich is currently backing Central Coasts two-game deal in the nations capital.Pros: Solid stadium, junior numbers and lack of competition in one of Australias richest, if smaller, cities.Cons: FFA isnt keen. David Gallop pointedly rebuked the citys A-League aspirations around the time it hosted an A-League qualifer last year.* South MelbourneStatus: Ready to go, so they say. The powerhouse NSL club has been working to join the A-League since the day it was overlooked for the league and will mount a solid case.Pros: History and the chance to heal the ongoing rift between new football and old soccer. A solid stadium deal and long-term lease. History of success.Cons: Does Melbourne need another team with Citys attendances so low? Would Victory fight their admission?* GeelongStatus: Interested groups are getting organised but a Geelong bid is still in the embryonic stages.Pros: Theres room in Victoria for another team, and state and local government are likely to offer support. Geelong is a sports town with a record of producing Socceroos.Cons: Simonds Stadium might have narrow boundaries but its ultimately not a venue suitable for football. Questions over support base.* Brisbane StrikersStatus: The former NSL champions have assembled a bid team, headed by the colourful Miron Bleiberg, and will soon submit a formal bid to FFA.Pros: A strong brand, an existing structure, a successful academy and a ready-made rivalry with Brisbane Roar.Cons: Venue. If the Strikers cant find somewhere to play other than Suncorp Stadium, theyll struggle for a point of difference with the Roar.* South SydneyStatus: They were nearly ready to replace Wellington Phoenix last season, and the murmurs are continuing that FFA wants a third team in Sydney.Pros: Sydneys big enough for three teams, right? FFAs number crunchers have determined the south is an untapped market, with a big participation base.Cons: Sydney FC are dead against it, as one third of their members come from the shire, while Wollongong wants a standalone team.* WollongongStatus: The Wolves say they will have a look at FFAs expansion criteria once its released, but they could have some high-powered backers lined up.Pros: The Illawarra, a bit like the Hunter, is a true football region. WIN Stadium would be perfect.Cons: Forces outside of their control seem to prefer a southern Sydney team, based part-time in Wollongong.* AdelaideStatus: Adelaide City and West Adelaide, two former NSL stalwarts, have made noises about an A-League bid.Pros: Both are historic clubs who figure the Reds could do with a derby rival. Wests want Robbie Fowler as their inaugural coach.Cons: Does little old Adelaide really have room for two teams? Whos not supporting Adelaide United in SA?* PerthStatus: Football West is aiming for a second Perth team in the next three to five years in an audacious bid to turbo-charge the game in WA.Pros: Perths a growing city and numbers would suggest not everyone is on board with the Glory, for whatever reason.Cons: The Glory are just getting settled off-field and a rival team would chew into their market at an inopportune time.* Not happeningNorth Queensland: The Northern Fury say they wont be ready for this round of expansion, and the Hong Kong casino mogul backers of Cairns-based FNQ Heat have seemingly moved on.Gold Coast: There is a desire from some parties to revive Gold Coasts A-League presence but no action at this stage. Maybe one day.

[b]Vapormax Pas Cher[/b] . Barcelona also left injured defenders Carles Puyol, Javier Mascherano and Jordi Alba out of its squad for the trip to Glasgow. That means that Marc Bartra will probably start again in the centre of the defence alongside Gerard Pique.
[b]http://www.paschervapormax.fr/[/b] . As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night. Looking to improve a struggling offense that resulted in the teams first loss of the season, the Los Angeles Clippers open a two-game road swing Friday against the Memphis Grizzlies.The Clippers offense vanished at times in an 85-83 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night at Staples Center. Los Angeles endured a stretch of almost five minutes in the fourth quarter without a field goal and fell victim to another standout performance by Russell Westbrook, the NBAs leading scorer, who had 35 points, six rebounds and five assists.The Clippers, who shot 39.1 percent against Oklahoma City and committed 19 turnovers, have experienced offensive dry spells in their four games. Los Angeles (3-1) is shooting 42.5 percent and an awful 28.7 percent from 3-point range on the season, the latter ranking 26th in the NBA.Forward Blake Griffin said the Clippers, ranked 22nd in offense at 100.3 points per game, eventually would break out.I dont think we are worried, said Griffin, who finished with 14 points on 7-of-21 shooting and missed all three of his free throws against the Thunder. It is not something we cant figure out. It is early in the season and it is a frustrating loss, but we are going to move on and correct our mistakes. We will use this as a learning process Friday and Saturday.The Grizzlies (3-2) also have gone through funks. In what Memphis coach David Fizdale described as an ugly 89-83 victory over the winless New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday, the Grizzlies prevailed despite hitting only 35.1 percent of their shots.That is par for the course so far, with the Grizzlies ranking 26th offensively at 97.4 poinnts while allowing opponents to score 102.

The opposition has connected on 45.9 percent.But that matters little against the Clippers, who took two of three from the Grizzlies last season. The two adversaries have a history of testy playoff and regular-season battles.Thats where the We Dont Bluff came from, battling those guys, Grizzlies guard Tony Allen told the Memphis Commercial Appeal. Allen made his season debut against the Pelicans by scoring just four points after missing the previous three games with a sore right knee.Its obviously a rivalry for us. We like to battle with those guys, Allen said.Allen isnt the only Memphis player battling health issues. The club has proceeded with caution with point guard Mike Conley and center Marc Gasol, who are still recovering from injuries lingering from last season. Conley underwent Achilles surgery during the offseason, while Gasol sustained a broken right foot.Fizdale rested the pair in a 116-80 road loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday.Memphis also has been playing without Chandler Parsons, who is rehabbing from a knee injury.Following Fridays contest, the Clippers travel to San Antonio to face the Spurs on Saturday. The Spurs also will be playing the second end of a back-to-back following a Friday night date at the Utah Jazz.The Grizzlies wrap up their four-game homestand with games against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday and the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday.
