"clear air" lol.

yep, there'll be plenty of that this Ashes summer.

Can't wait till cricket, basketball, netball, ALF, NRL, Formula 1, Handball, Lacrosse, gold Siberian Egg juggling all finish. Then we will see sokkahs TRUE potential!!!111!!!!one111!

Sorry, but this logic is unquestionable. We cannot argue anymore about channel or coverge or commentary.

Facts are facts and the fans are tunning out of football. Not because of the network, but its leadership and their priorities.

Make more money, not make better football

Maybe the media would pay attention to us if there was absolutely no other sport on at the same time !!11!!!111

So victory v Brisbane got around 115k fox and one combined? Sheesh.

League World Cup has been a bit of an afterthought as well.

You can't even count on a post World Cup qualification spike if we get through like 2005 as we are clear favourites and qualification is expected this time around.

I would have thought abusing somebody for four years for being correct, and then strangely absent when definitively proven wrong fills that title

So where is the 30 consecutive weeks of "clean air" the sport is looking for?

Football is not a main interest and it is a looooooooong way off ever being a main interest. The important contrast between now and pre 2003 is we have money, commercial support and more appeal amongst existing fans

There is enough there for us to work with our own fans and our own funding. But that's not enough for the FFA

They literally do not want to put a single ad out until 2 days after the major football codes have finished, and 3 days before the season launch. And nothing changes in this window. It didn't this season, it didn't last season, it didn't the season before. And my stats are a bit hazy but I'm pretty sure the season before that the Australian media wasn't lining up to cover our code

The game is more accessible today and more popular today. It is on media and programs unimaginable during the NSL. But that's as good as it gets

Its hard to claim that people don't know about the A League. This is an apathy problem, not an ignorance problem. Moving the A League from SBS to One didn't make people start caring about it

There is always sport being played in this country. The leagues we see every week, and the one off tournaments or events. The A League simply has to be part of this. Since season 6 finished it has never by any stretch of the imagination attempted this. And now we are paying for this

We have lost funding, there is 0 hype, no expansion, and 2 of the biggest teams are shit kicking at the foot of the table with a duck egg in the wins column so smaller teams get their shot at a title

Ratings are down. That means the potential of the sport is not being met. Its easy to blame other factors or pretend such a time never existed but the sport has lost its appeal

AU v Newcastle 46,000
MV v Brisbane 67,000

the rugby league WC is hardly sucking the air out of the media

I've managed to figure out you're a massive agro cnt though

No. Whats worrying is your poor justification for lackluster results.

Does reality worry you?  I'd love it if football was the main interest of people in this country but its not, and it shows.

Didn't even know it was on

Oh just stop.

We haven't been getting much air time over the last 3 weekends while the RLWC2017 has been on.

Your not wrong Southmelb.
Won't get any air time when their on

The cricket 1-2 punch of ashes/big bash league this summer will put the A league to bed. Might as well write this season off.

Gotta say, I thought crimson was being serious too lol

Cos as we know there are millions of desperate HAL fans out there that just cannot find that fucking channel!!! Haha

Sorry. Its very hard to work out on this forum, haha

Bluebird take a chill pill,i wasnt serious Lol
Its very clear that the rise and fall of ratings is primarily to do with the product .After five seasons of Big Brother for example ,people get bored and start to change channels.For the HAL,initially on SBS there was interest,which waned the second yearand plummeted after that.The fact its on One now hasnt changed anything.People are still getting more bored and tuning in less and less.
The sad thing is the previously unviewable games ,without Foxtel(Derbies). produced no lift at all.People continue to be be bored and tune off.
Meanwhile back at the ranch on Foxtel.Football tragics still tune in most of the time.But even some of them ,like me find other things to do.

Metrics Metrics Metrics..thats the problem.Accountants managing Event businesses.People arent interested in metrics,they want entertainment ,excitement and new things.
At the moment HAL cant offer anything new.Just Same Same but the .Same

Like any boring show on tv,HAL is sliding in ratings.Time for a major drama or a wedding or death .LoL......FIFA have just the answer.

So what? Why would people with Foxtel watch the game on SBS?
And what about the 70% of the population who don't have Foxtel?

These "don't know about it" excuses are pretty poor

The A League has been around for 13 years. It hits the media 2-3 times a week for most of the year. It has also had high profile players, matches, and friendlies. If somebody doesn't know about the A League its because they have zero interest in the sport, or no interest outside of the national teams. For those who have an interest in the league anywhere else on the spectrum, you would think they would have asked the question "where do I watch the games" instead of just stupidly assume the A League isn't broadcasted. "Gee Id love to watch the A League but damned if I know how to find it"

It has been on FTA for over four years

Its nice to think the problem our code faces is simply a case of "not knowing about it" but that's just a cop out. It also leads to putting resources into the wrong area. Why not spend $3m to $5m national "help a mate find channel one" campaigns?


The majority of people, even football fans, do not give a fuck about the A League. That's the cold hard reality of it. We can jump from channel to channel but it doesn't address the actual issue

3 years ago the numbers were about 150k-175k (plus Fox). Now it is significantly lower. Either half the FTA audience found another means to follow the game when SBS dumped the coverage to SD or they have walked away from the game for good (less likely). Not only that but now attendance numbers are also dropping and even Fox ratings

Fix the A League, and you'll see a fix in the FTA ratings. It really is that simple

Once the A League has been fixed, no one platform is more visible than the other as far as FTA goes. A myth I thought would have been well and truly busted by now but try telling a 3 year old Santa isn't real

After 13 years, we know what our natural level is.  It's much better than basketball, a bit better than rugby, not as strong as the major winter codes, but it's still good enough.

Bluebird ,what you fail to realise is One is harder to find than SBS.So it makes sense ratings are falling.LOL.On Foxtel One doesn't appear on the first page ,whereas SBS does.
I wonder if HAL will still be on live on One come round 23?
Probably on at 1am.
But then FFA will start their advertising campaign so everything will be fine.Why don't stakeholders sack these clowns?
The reason ratings are down is nobody is interested in watching the same ten teams play each other over and over and over again.Nobody knows the HAL is on or is enticed to watch it because there is no advertising.

The HAL is fast becoming the Sheffield Shield of Football.Only tragics know its on and the rest are happy to read about the results and have a life,because they don't feel like they are missing anything.

Socceroo match 325k metro on gem

Sat TV #ALeague #ONE Fox on ONE 55k

Another impressive set of ratings as a result of being on commercial TV

The average is now 66k. Down 20k on last season despite Saturday night games and cross promotion

So far we have seen 2 of the 3 lowest FTA figures ever recorded in the first 6 rounds. But that's OK because people haven't worked out how to find the telecast yet

Last Year same match

RD 2 ..... 90k
RD 14 .... 74k

CCM v Syd  68k.
