So what to do with this article?  Keep for historical purposes or delete? -- Chuq (talk) 11:40, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Move to Gold Coast United, change article focus to that of the Palmer bid, and keep information of Galaxy as part of a History/Background section on the new page. Gialloneri (talk) 03:47, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

text: I'd be against moving because it isn't the same thing with a new name - its a different club.  It's probably worth learning from the Galaxy/Thunder experience by not even creating the articles until the clubs are 100% confirmed. -- Chuq (talk) 12:00, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I disagree - this article served a purpose, and can surely be recycled into something historically useful though, over time, cut down to the bare essentials.  For football fans on the Gold Coast I think it has, and will, serve its purpose in the next 12-18 months. Wanderer (talk) 20:57, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

text:  I'm agreeing with Wanderer, I think the data here can be recycled. Assuming Gold Coast United goes ahead, the eventual page will almost certainly have to include information on the Galaxy, merely for historical purposes. This is in the same vein of the mentioning of Sydney Blues at Sydney_FC#Foundation. With Wanderer's notes of GCU being a working title, I withdraw my previous suggestion and agree with the proposition of a Gold Coast A-League franchise page. Gialloneri (talk) 15:26, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, and I think it has worked well!  Great work guys.  Only thing is I think this talk page should be moved to Talk:Gold Coast A-League franchise - or at least referenced there.  Note the NQ situation is a little different - as the former NQT bid is still the frontrunner, although renamed to NQFC - see Talk:North Queensland Thunder FC.  -- Chuq (talk) 02:40, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Have put my thoughts on the NQ talk page. Also, have gone ahead with process to move this talk page to Talk:Gold Coast A-League franchise Gialloneri (talk) 05:31, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: And now it appears Gold Coast United FC is signed and sealed?  -- Chuq (talk) 11:31, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

text: Looks like it - provisional license officially awarded. However, that's the same situation that Galaxy and Thunder were in - the provisions weren't met on account of the screwups at Thunder. Guess it all depends on who gets the 10th team. There's a few articles on it on 442, but I picked the SMH article as it focused mostly on the signing rather than Palmer/Bleiberg's ambitions.

thread_title: Gold Coast Galaxy no more ..

message: If memory serves me correctly, wasn't he only attached to the Galaxy bid? And that he hasn't been involved with the Palmer bid?Gialloneri (talk) 22:31, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: He was - but he defected to GC United -   -- Chuq (talk) 02:32, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think Chuq is right, Bleiberg is being talked about in articles as the coach Wanderer (talk) 05:56, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Miron Bleiberg

message: "The side has been given approval to enter the A-League's 2009 season. "  - but we have heard this before (a few months back with Thunder & Galaxy) when it wasn't 100% approved. -- Chuq (talk) 06:25, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I see no difference between GC United's position and GC Galaxy's. United's entrance into the competition next year coul;d still be scuttled by a Thunder-esque fiasco.  Gialloneri (talk) 01:21, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is it official official yet? 

message: This page now needs to be modified to contain all the new club's details. A lot is still to be decided, but if someone has the relevant information then please add it. I will now try to start some research.MJW 45 (talk) 04:03, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Please note, Shane Smeltz is a Gold Coast United player from 1 April 2009, although he currently plays for the Wellington Phoenix. As a contract has been signed with the Gold Coast United, any transfer to another club extending past the date 1 April 2009 must be approved as such by Gold Coast United. Unless Smeltz is spending 7 weeks in Turkey, he will not be joining the particular club which is rumoured to have his services. Clive Palmer has already rebuffed claims that Shane has been sold, see here http://au.fourfourtwo.com/news/95665,palmer-no-means-no.aspx. Thus, please don't edit in that he has joined a Turkish club.

message: Anderson - he's been removed from the squad list. I know he signed a 1-year contract after his loan spell but he seems to have been released - can anybody confirm this, if so please provide a source :), Cheers Nath1991 (talk) 13:21, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, i've looked around and can't seem to find any reference for his departure, however after looking on the Gold Coast United home page he doesn't appear in the team list. Therefore we'd probably be safe to assume that he is no longer part of the squad. Finding news about A-league players is like finding cake at a weight loss convention!

replies: text: It was a working name that was planned to be changed to something more Gold Coast but they obviously got sidetracked. Hack (talk) 05:06, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
