Over the 2022/23 season, I haven’t attended many games, but what games I have been to (except WSW V Everton, where WSW were awful), the standard has been first class. I know the A-League cops a lot of unfair criticism (in my opinion), but from what I have seen live and on YouTube, the standard has been excellent, lots of short passing, attacking football and some great goals.

Of course that standard of the A-League is still light years away from Europe and South America, but I think it’s getting better, and this leads to my second point, with the standard of football getting better, why are the crowds so poor?
