Thanks old FFA for Sustainability,fishing metrics and  fighting with all stakeholders until the HAL was forced into a death spiral.
Thanks new FFA for rearranging the deckchairs.
Lol
It looks like the owners will have to scrape up the road kill in 3.5yrs time.

Yep, iHAL has no ifluence at all

A nationwide A-League radio ad campaign for the launch of the new season has been scrapped after clubs couldn't agree on a strategy.

Football Federation Australia has previously booked slots on Australian Radio Network stations nationwide as part of the marketing blitz that heralds the start of the new season each year.However this year the plug was pulled at the eleventh hour after a split between clubs and the FFA over the ARN strategy.

A-League club owners have begun a “first 100 days” blitz to revolutionise the way the competition is marketed and run, with widespread investment promised to combat sliding ratings and attendances.After years spent wresting control of their own competition from Football Federation Australia, owners revealed plans to hitting the ground running with transfers between clubs, prize money for successful teams, a 16-team expansion plan and — most immediately — a digital-led campaign to drive awareness among sports fans.The plans were presented to CEOs, coaches and staff of the clubs at a two-day summit in Double Bay.Officials described the owners’ presentation as “evangelical” in underlining the urgent need to combat the sense of inertia that has gripped the competition for the past two seasons.

Much “LOL” indeed as that story turned out to be made up garbage to be lapped up by the gullible and naive - each club instead choosing a local radio partner; which kinda makes more sense; Roar chose 97.3 in Brisbane and feature regularly on there. 

LOL

And the results are there for all to see !

Yes they are. No argument on where this competition is right now from me. 

But a decade of neglect of the competition is going to take some fixing. 

And any one who thinks “a national radio campaign” would even help is at best delusional. 

"All the dyed-in-the-wool supporters know the games are on" etc etc...

I’m not even sure what that comment means or even relates too? 

Does it relate to supporters knowing when games are on and the benefit of a national radio campaign?

Personally I would have thought a large proportion of our target market listens to Spotify not national (or even local) radio stations. 

I'm not surprised.

I’ll just assume you agree a National Radio Campaign was a dumb idea then. 

Assume away, it seems to be what you do best.

So BR wasted their money on the 93.7 Brisbane advertising then....

Looks like the adults are still working with just a few days until Christmas.

I’d say so. 

An inertia that they themselves caused.

I think we just scraped over the 50k mark for the round

So 50k is a good round in the new ffa era ?

Sheesh

Highest attended round for 7 weeks.  ;)

Yes, at the moment, a 50k round is very good.

Communist mindset for a communist league

Congratulations to all the 5 hosts over the weekend. Job well done

Wonderfull to see Wanderers' average attendance after 11 rounds up 95% year on year despite hastening to the rear of the competition.

I don't think they gouged us. CFG don't need the money. I think it was a deliberate ploy from them to discourage us from going. but thankfully there has been enough outrage from the fans to embarrass them. Tickets are already on sale for the next derby and they have removed the $55 tickets. 

#BBL crowds for first 10 matches:
2017-18 250,444
2018-19 193,487
2019-20 139,937

Average crowd in BBL in the last few seasons
2014/15 - 23,590
15/16 - 29,443
16/17 - 30,114
17/18 - 26,531
18/19 - 20,552
19/20 - 14,916 (after 12 games, down 28.4% from last season)

That will significantly change when bigger venues like the MCG become available. 

The average after 12 games last season was around 18.4k while this season it is 14.9k.  It will be interesting to see how much of the drop so far is picked up once the MCG etc are available.

8846 at Coopers Stadium.

Well to put an A league spin on it, the bbl hasn’t even had one of its Sydney or Melbourne derbies yet.

They had only had 1 Sydney derby at this stage last season and that drew 10k attendance.

5,084 at Mars Stadium.
