Some of the key findings...

 The Isuzu UTE A-League 2024 Grand Final, which saw the Central Coast Mariners crowned the A-League Men Champions on Saturday, reached 1.12 million Australians with audiences up 12% year-on-year.

Not only was it the biggest match ever on 10 and 10 Play, but it was also the #2 program of the night in 16 to 39s.

The 2023/24 Isuzu UTE A-League Men’s season was up 16% on broadcast TV, 33% on 10 Play and 53% on Paramount+. The Liberty A-League Women’s audiences grew 114% on 10 Play and 125% on Paramount+.

wow, nice low bar improvements.

One of the biggest myths in oz football is that our crowds and ratings are bad

They are ABOVE what you would expect for our wage budget. We need to find a way to make the a league sustainable with crowds and audiences roughly this size and seek to grow

Came in fourth last night for the main game.

Won the rating last night. I watched on Paramount so wonders aloud what the combined rating with 10, 10play and P+ are but the TV only ratings were.

Yeah, mate, it's not all bad news at all. Those numbers are solid! If we could just get more games in pubs, that’d be ace.
