A massive 3,629 in Geelong

SFC v WSW - 18,501
NEW v PG - 7,420
MV v AU - 14,424
WU v CCM - 3,269
MC v BR - 7,559

Total; 51,173

What, don't tell me, has the new regime saved the league again...?

This was essentially a farewell game by WU, they may never play in Geelong again.

And no one cares either. 

there was not 14,000 at Marvel on saturday. 

I heard it was under 12k from a mate who works there 

Have to be the lowest aggregate for a week with a Sydney derby and Victory home game. Guess they were all watching on Twitter and Facebook

Roar v WSW - 9k
AUFC v WU - 7k
Victory v SFC 12k
CCM v Nix - 4k
Glory v City - 7k

Progression

pRo/ReL wIlL fiX iT 

Hard to do when franchise single tier football has almost destroyed it.

But you'll still never acknowledge that despite the rapid downward spiral.

thats good right??

cos we're trying to sell our broadcast rights to twitter and facebook !

its all falling into place :)

Firstly, that's bullshit. If you want to make your argument based on aggregate crowds then you are arguing for a single tier system because that is when they were at their best. Anyone who thinks teams like South Melbourne, Sydney Olympic or Brisbane Strikers are going to average more than 5 000 are full of shit. Secondly, I have always argued in favour of an open system but I also acknowledge that the a-league has given us the big teams with broad support that the game needed, now I think we need to reconnect it and open it up. Focus on football and player development.


There are people out there having genuine discussions about it, then there are people like you having a whinge based on bullshit premises.

More stadium development in NSW’s, this time for suburban grounds?

they should fit right in with CCM and WU (except they have their own stadiums!)

Pro / Rel isn't the magic solution for everything. Denial is

The fact is hundreds of thousands of people are interested in watching the A League. A third of them don't know its on. A third of them watch it on Kayo. And a third of them are in the wrong target market because kids these days are obsessed by social media

I'm perfectly fine with a league where 3 of the 4 biggest markets are in the bottom 6 and I'm sure most fans are also. The most important thing is that the name of the team that wins each year is different

I think it mentions that the grounds might be used by A-League clubs as well, so could be a win for the A-League

3k at the ACL game tonight.

This is what endless years of our teams not being good enough to compete does. 

Australian pro football is fucked. The salary cap has strangled the life our of the game. 

No shit 100%

25k saw Johor beat Suwon in Malaysia. 

We are sliding into irrelevance here 

Nah, plenty of good leagues in Europe are getting 9k to 10k per game, it's not a big issue.
As many have said, we need the right sized stadiums, and we need to establish a 2nd division.

but they nearly won? 

FFS it was THREE thousand 

No. They were lucky to draw against 10 men. 

so what
you can't take that as a indicator of how the A-League is going

Are you a human or an ostrich? 

My name is ozzie.

Roar v WSW - 10K
AUFC v WU - 8k
Victory v SFC 12k
CCM v Nix - 4k
Glory v City - 8k

Aren't these leagues falling further and further behind the biggest leagues though as money becomes more and more relevant? This will happen to us in Asia.
