Who rather watch a game with less consequences 

But 55,000 for the first fixture (at Bruce Stadium)

It was near the end of the season.  Their first meeting rated 53k.

wow
W-League rates better.

Nah mate. Don't be unaustralian.

Relegation Battle ?

Same teams had a 25k last season.

OH. MY GOD.

How did you obtain this info?

Honestly had no idea it was even on. Was flicking through the channels and there was a live game. 

lol.. that's as bad as it gets

LIVE: FOOTBALL: A-LEAGUE C COAST V ADEL

FOX SPORTS 501

39,000

Slightly off topic, but another interesting metric is Wikipedia page views...

For Mile Jedinak the "background" over the last 90 days is about 2 to 4 hundred page views a day. On 16 November this jumped to 69.2k.

Thanks for all that kick off time stuff ... sounds excellent... 

Yep, most matchdays seem to be starting about 2pm/3pm local time which is 10pm/11pm for us. With the extra hour of pre-game to tack on beforehand, we'll be getting world cup coverage here starting at 9pm. Very friendly compared to 2014 (matchdays starting at 2am), 2010 (matchdays starting at 10:30pm), and 2006 (matchdays starting at midnight). 

Completely agree.
I think the best timeslot we ever had was against Japan in 2006 which was 11pm if I recall correctly. The game against Brazil was something horrible like 3am and the game against Croatia was 5am. In 2010 all our games were between midnight and 4am, and in 2014 we had 2am (vs Netherlands), 5am (vs Spain) and 8am (vs Chile) if I remember correctly. It's fair to say we haven't had good timeslots. It's much better to stay up late (at a viewing party or pub) than get up early all groggy near dawn. Thankfully this world cup will be great for the late night viewing parties and shows at pubs.

Hopefully we get that Group C 8pm timeslot. Pretty much any game would be guaranteed to have ratings on par with last night's game, if not better, seeing as it would be our opening world cup game on the opening weekend. Get a powerhouse like Germany and it will easily be the most viewed football match ever in Australia, I have no doubt. But regardless of whether that happens or not, we have lots to look forward to and be hopeful in the draw because the 10pm/11pm timeslots are pretty appealing too, since it would be easy to stay up and have plenty of pre-game coverage starting at 9pm. Presumably SBS will show all the early kick-off games because they will be very accessible. Also worth mentioning that the third place playoff and world cup final are both going to be on at 11pm, which is the best we've had since 2002. This is looking like the most TV viewer friendly world cup we've ever played in.

i know the 2 games I have tickets for in Moscow kickoff at 3pm local time... Moscow is 8 hours behind us right now (but we are currently on daylight saving time). 

We need as many 8pm kick off games as possible

I don't recall world cup games featuring Australia reaching 1.5m due to the early morning hours the games are being played. I think in 2006 they were about 1.1m but too long ago to remember with any kind of accuracy

8pm kick off for the first group game against a good opponent (ie- an England) could be pushing AFL / NRL grand final ratings.

Slightly off topic and speculative but I was browsing through the match times for the tournament next year and saw that the opening game for Group C apparently kicks off at 8pm AEST. Let's hope random chance gets us that slot, imagine us featuring in a world cup game during primetime hours back home in Australia!
There's also a few 10/11pm kickoffs which we're almost certain to get at least once in our group wherever we get drawn. Compared to the godawful match times from previous tournaments there's a lot of promise for more exposure to the rest of Australia.

Chill. I meant 2.

mate, grab a calculator, it's nowhere near 3 million!  

That's frustrating. Very disappointing to get to get so close to 3 and only have it ruined by TV execs in the west.

No, just under 2m but that includes 0k rating for Perth on 9.  I think they must have had it on a minor channel so we don't have ratings for it.

Including the streaming do we make it over 3mill?

STV only 328k.

On the clean air debate the Kangaroos in the first game on a Friday night against England on 7 rated slightly lower than the Socceroos last night on 9.  :)
