56k Sydney v Perth.

Australia v England in the RLWC was the highest rating show on TV at 1,402k

How did W-League go on sbs?

Hahahaha Jesus. There's always an excuse. 

Unless there's a day where there are 0 entertainment/sporting events on at the same time people will always find excuses

The international gardening festival is in town. Shall we brace ourselves?

At times like this when FFA ... sorry the board ... sorry the Chairman of the board ...is so absorbed in retaining a power structure with fears of if I am not in charge.... the following part of a poem comes to mind .... 

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."

i think its a disgrace that we have to play HAL matches when other events are on.

the least they could do is close the beaches for the 90mins.

Seriously poor viewership, on par with south v Sydney Wednesday night cup game a few weeks back.

I doubt anyone in Melbourne, Perth or Adelaide give a stuff about the league World Cup, I only watched the last 5 mins.

Btw in league don't they compete as Great Britain normally?

Shocking. I'll get started on that strongly worded letter immediately. 

Fri TV #RLWC2017 1,402,000: Metro 916k (Syd 375k Mel 193k Bri 279k Ade 26k Per 43k) Regional 486k (Q 193k NSW 138/96k V 36k Tas 18k WA 5k)Fri TV 

So thats 609k in NSW, 472k in Qld and 229k in Victoria where we get 85% of our STV ratings from for the A-League.

How rude. 

Luckily we are locked into a six year deal with Fox.
But with those numbers the end is nigh.

Nah they will just pay less for it.

FTA ratings?

So three times the amount of people slept through the the a league to watch the EPL. 

Three times. 

The EPL game was a blockbuster at a decent hour on HD, plus SBS always do a great job. Even I watched it, decent game. 

That fascinated me so I went to see what teams were in this 'World Cup', Countries such as Lebanon, Tonga and the USA are involved. With these ratings combined with the entire US population glued to there set watching all hours of the night to see if there team can gain them international sporting prestige. I suspect Budweiser are the major sponsors.

The entire US population glued to their set???

The delusion is strong in this one.

But how did the channel surfers find sokkah on SBS !!!

You seem to have your sarcasm detector set to 'off'.

Fair call.

The irony is strong in this one.

That game was shit on a stick.

Sat TV #ALeague #ONE 81k (Metro 61k Regional 19k) @danieljcarrr

So that's a 61k metro figure

The current totals for the FTA seasons are as follows

	SBS	SBS	SBS	SBS	One
1	166000	215000	78000	118000	84000
2	175000	175000	68000	76000	90000
3	158000	143000	58000	86000	71000
4	110000	173000	39000	85000	61000

I'll also add its the 4th time that the FTA figure has been lower than the Foxsports figure

But there is light at the end of the tunnel. According to the FFA its because people aren't able to find the game. Once people can find the game then things will be back to normal

I know I'm stating the obvious here, but its important people read it ---

We are now on a commercial FTA channel and we are having our worst ever FTA ratings.

The remote is wedged between the cushions.

edit --- second worst.

so thats something.

There is a positive in the falling ratings and crowds ... yes there is .... when young Steven goes to FIFA with his bag of tricks his record since he took control is .... the kind would say poor ... the cruel would say pathetic... his enemies would say he is destroying the game... 

Meaning he has no history to say look how good I am doing... don't change me...
