I have just calculated more averages for ratings for season 2016/17 to add to those in my previous post.  If I feel like it I might complete the previous few seasons that I started a couple of years ago just before I had a stroke.

The average ratings for each club are (in order):  Average rating for games against the top 5 rating clubs - Average rating for games against the bottom 5 rating clubs.

Sydney FC - 93k 62k
Melbourne Victory - 88k 65k
Western Sydney - 84k - 63k
Melbourne City - 81k 62k
Brisbane Roar - 80k 62k
Adelaide United - 71k 49k
Perth Glory - 67k 46k
Central Coast - 65k 47k
Newcastle Jets - 58k 46k
Wellington Phoenix - 54k 45k

Games between the bottom 5 rating clubs average in the range 45k - 49k.  Games between bottom 5 ratings clubs and the top 5 rating clubs average in the range 54k - 71k.  Games between the top 5 rating clubs average in the range 80k - 93k.

Tis what it is. Gf will be the real measuring stick. Wasn’t it 600k last year? Seems impossible.

Unfortunately there were too many figures given

Game: 275k
Penalties: 460k
Average Rating Given: 367k

SBS: 258K


If the game is settled in 90 minutes then the Fox figure last year was 275k. If it goes into extra time then there are different figures to go by depending on who you talk to and who wants to argue the hardest

That means One is slightly better than SBS last season.  Is it live and was it delayed last year?

Great posts on those rating figures.

Quick question, say a game rates 100K do you give each team 50K in your cal's , or the home team 100K

I give both teams 100k.  I'm averaging how many watched games each team played in. 

I haven't done this season because there are too many missing games to make any comparison almost meaningless.

I really can't see how anything will improve next season either.
No new teams
,an off season of management self distruction ,
no bling and Chase style marketing will not bring people back.
 FFA has done a great job of disengaging fans.
 Active support destroyed.Check.
Chase style marketing .Check
No regional fish fans.Check
 Plastic franchise clubs,available for sale.Check
 99% of real clubs not alllowed to play at the top level.Check.
The job is almost complete.
We look like we are heading down the Rugby path.
People know its there but there is no compelling reason to watch.

Acknowledge and accept everything posted, one minor exception is the 9 A-League clubs in Australia I believe are no longer plastic clubs.

My experience is if we had a total media reversal, i.e. from toxic, constantly negative, to positive if a new drawn comes out of the FIFA process then people will start to come back.

Sorry to hear about your stroke... you seem to at least have your mental things working... hope the rest is going well too.

GF STV 210k
GF FTA 183k

Total 393k

Someone would have to pull up last seasons figures which from memory peaked in extra time.

Again, as comparison the NBL game 5 Grand Final decider pulled in 49k last month. 210k > 49k for Fox.

The GF was up against AFL, NRL, Super Rugby, Super Cars and Super Netball on a crammed Saturday ..... and pulled in 400k ...... another myth busted, we don’t need “clean air” .... we just need a better product.

Sbs figure did include regional, but you are correct that grand final was live on fta for first time this season

The Broncos are the highest-watched team across the NRL and AFL nationally (744,103 average free-to-air and 274,619 average subscription), while the North Queensland Cowboys rate third for free-to-air (722,922 average) and fourth for subscription TV (258,826 average).
...
The two lowest-watched teams nationally (across both AFL and NRL) are the AFL’s two Queensland teams, the Gold Coast Suns (93,510 FTA average and 97,765 subscription average) and Brisbane Lions (95,510 FTA average and 97,765 subscription average). They are the least popular of 34 teams across both codes.


The AFL really shot themselves in the foot when they created the Suns, splitting such a small fanbase. I can see another merger on the cards in the near future.
