Yeah but that 300 people at the VNPL game was fucking amazing, am I right?

Imagine comparing first and second tiers. Imagine decreasing already verified figures to inflate your own. I find it funny only Sydney FC fans getting upset these days. Thank god Wanderers are here. Without them your average would be only about 15k.

Sunday evening, raining sideways, Wanderers having a bad year, a-league having a bad year. 25k was a good crowd, just take a day off.

Upset about what? We're just a bit sick of your constant agenda. You're basically the new mister football.

It's not a good crowd - it's an understandable crowd, given the circumstances (both on the day and for the league as a whole) but we should be asking the question why only 25k decided to turn up to such a big match as part of the broader review into why the A-League and Australian football in general has gone to shit. This is not a potshot at you, Victory/Adelaide on Saturday night also had a shit crowd at just 13k that you can understand why so many didn't turn up, but it is definitely not good.

Sorry but if you are drawing negatives from that game then maybe you need to dial down the negativity. Sure, there is a lot to be negative about but that wasn't such a moment.

I will be more disappointed if the must win game against Kashima draws less than 15k.

Hey about the agenda part.

Did you miss the photos I posted regarding the crowd? Because you didn't reply to it. I saw you in this thread but you must have overlooked it. It wasnt just me calling you out to be the fool you are.

pl0x rspnd.

I never accused you of making up numbers. Not once. Go back and look. 

I do apologise you accused South Melb for accusing City of number fudging. It was NoFriends.

How low have we gotten that 25k at a ANZ Sydney derby is a "good crowd", fmd

36 or so thousand at the first game.

BREAKDOWN | ⁉️ The numbers are in after our first @OFCChampsLeague Game against @MaristFC2017. Here are the facts...

🏟️ Attendance: 12,000
🌡️Min Temp: 32 degrees
🌡️Max Temp: 38 degrees
⚽️ @RossAllen10 first player from Guernsey to play in the OFC @OFCChampsLeague

That is three times the crowd of Wellington Pheonix. Imagine how huge a NZ league would be. Auckland City and Team Wellington bossing the league and the OCL. A relegation battle at the bottom.

That game was in the Solomon Islands idiot. 

So you wouldnt travel? I doubt they were all from SI. Ecpats etc would go for sure.

Box Hill with a packed grandstand. Not much else.

Bulleen v south - 1,850

Looked it up as the 36k looked odd.

According to wiki, first SFS derby was 26,176.

So the latest iteration is terrible...

Given the weather conditions on the day, it's a great crowd.

True. It doesn't rain or snow like that anywhere else in the world so its a cracking number.

Yikes, looks like the a-league isn't the only one struggling. Makes you wonder if a national second division is actually viable.

State League

Except it was pretty much a full house. Impressive stuff for an 8.30pm monday kick off. 

We are not unique. 25,000 Dortmund fans stayed away in protest at a game being moved to a Monday night:

Now why would they do that?

... Because the time and day a game kicks off IS important to football fans so can we get over ourselves in Australia and schedule all games on an appropriate day and at an appropriate time.

I think it's a snobby of Dortmund fans really.

Iirc for years didn't bund2 play match of the round on Monday nights? Dortmund just hasn't played that fixture in so long. It's not like it is their new every match time slot either.

If 25,000 fans want to be snobs then they’d better listen ...

They have season tickets right?

Dortmund would having a massive waiting list for those. The club lost some match day revenue from beer and sausage in a one off or do game. Bundesliga won't care. It's for tv.

You sound like the FFA now ...

The atmosphere was dead in this mornings game .It was mentioned in the broadcast.

 If only A-league fans had the brains of the Germans. 

Champions league kicks off at 8.45 pm on Tuesdays and Wednesday's but 8.30pm on a Monday is the worst thing ever.

Personally I love Monday games. If you live in a city with functional public transport you can go straight to the game after work and it doesn't take time out of your weekend. We used to almost exclusively play on Mondays at home in the past.
