Do you touch yourself when you realise how funny your posts are?

Yes. I do.

Another positive, which will disappoint some it seems. I just bought 13 tickets for a mate from Melbourne and 12 of us travelling from Sydney for Australia Day match. Highest pax 22,120, 5 weeks out.

So basically Victory are smashing everyone and shock horror they are the only ones getting a crowd?

Well done Dave

Well done Greg

What’s the crowd looking for Perth vs Sydney huge game for Perth glory

 Even with shit weather this game should get 15k, however the way crowds have been going across the league I'm thinking 10k.

i don't know much about the cricket but this looks like nothing special

Could you picture brisbane roar getting 26,000 on a wednesday night and melb city 15,000 on a thursday? Then add monster tv ratings on top of that.

@ southmelb

No, I couldn’t. But cricket is the national sport and football isn’t hence their bigger crowds and viewing.

The point of relevance is that both crowds and viewing is down for the BBL also, which provides some perspective to what’s happening in football.

I actually only know one person that follows the cricket so I don’t know where all these cricket fans are haha

The bbl pulled almost 300k viewers for the melb renegades game on fox cricket..doesnt include streaming or fta...our games are now creeping out of the top 20 on fox which means ratings arent even available for some games.

@ southmelb

Comparing A League viewing to BBL, NRL and AFL is irrelevant. Those three codes got massive dollars for massive viewing, the HAL got less dollars for less viewers.

Not so much a comparison, more smashing the myth that everyone is ditching fox for streaming.

Their ratings are dropping though

@southmelb

There was a major decline last year before streaming came on line so it’s not the cause, although I’ve ditched fox for Kayo this year and that’s likely a continued trend.

I still think footballs audience was split when EPL left Fox though, then you add all the BS surrounding the code and it’s no wonder people are disinterested.

Nix v Roarnix - 6,841

24306 for the Melbourne Derby. Great crowd probably 20000 of them were Victory fans.

I wouldn't consider that number a great crowd
These games should be a sellout, particularly on a festive weekend with no BBL on the night

There were only around 200 tickets left a few hours before kickoff.

24.5k is a sellout at AAMI lol

yep, very difficult to get more at AAMI

Dont even think its top 5 for derbies at the venue. A lot of season ticket no shows. City end had lots of empty spots.

No really a sellout when there's empty seats lol

It might not of been a sell out but it was a great game and hopefully as long as the games keep delivering the fans keep coming back. I will tell you it’s not that special a game when we played victory 9 weeks ago!

Fans have been turned away by the FFA, it will be very hard getting then back.
Most active groups have disbanded only ones left that haven't changed or been disbanded are RBB and the cove tho the çove are favoured by fox sports and the FFA, while the rbb are still fighting

8,923 Mariners v Jets

I thought it was easily 10k. Must have been pretty empty opposite camera side.
