For the Sydney Derby it my be hard to reach full capacity at allianz. As usual, many of the the SCG trust members didn't turn up on the weekend, however there is also the case of the new flexi pass members that have the right to attend any 6 games of their choosing. If you looked at how many tickets were available for public purchase the day before, it was almost down to zero, just a handful of the expensive ones. 

They stuffed up not having the Sydney derby the weekend after the World Cup break to get momentum back 

I  agree .  Would   seem   to  be   Poor   Planning     and   lack   of    foresight .

One amazing stat: Sydney has had more spectators in the first three games of this season than they had in the entirety of 2021-22.

Nowhere like home !

its not amazing, sydney travel sucks and Kogarah sucked getting to mind you I drive and parking sucked there as well.
Many games I couldn't be bothered attending.
Nothing like the SFS as I still call it mind you its too large generally barring derbies and mv games..

Crazy!
I'm loving the league this year and it seems I'm not the only one.

The "A-League is dying, put it out of its misery" crowd are awful quiet round here at the moment.

The opinions of people who criticised attendances during the covid period were never credible.

What will be interesting is how the A-League performs compared to the season immediately before covid.  The AFL had a 12% drop in attendance between the two seasons.  The NRL had a 6.5% increase.

Funnily enough our crowds at Kogarah we're pretty decent for the first few seasons. 

I agree people just got sick of getting there + the absence of rain cover for 90% of the stadium didn't help, considering it rains every day in Sydney.

early on crowds were ok but as you know waned off - yer sucked only grandstand cover.
Another for me the atmoshere was blah - with the exception of the Cove, their numbers varied alot as well, small crowds and Cog Rah - the area is just meh.
I voted hands down for Leichardt used more despite its own hurdles but viewing football its size is spot on and the vibe is better imo.

Anyway, SFS has always been my fav.

Yeah the atmosphere sucked at Kogarah. Different feel like a real football crowd at times with people picnicking on the hill etc.

The one exception I can think of was the 6-1 win vs Victory in the semi final in 2019. Place was rocking. 

Lol 

Drowned out by the thousands of posts on A league match day threads perhaps?

Western United w team got under 3k 

That figure will be skewed by the addition of WU and Macarthur, which we all know have been catastrophic for attendances. Would be interesting to have an end-of-season calculation without the expansion clubs.

Perth and Brisbane are also in shitty stadium situations this season (and are general dumpster fires). The stadium situation should at least be better next season, and we can only pray they get better owners at some point.

BR v AU - 6,000
Nix v WSW - 6,000
SFC v City - 13,000
PG v WU - 4,000
CCM v Newcastle - 10,000
MFC v Victory - 4,500

Victory are away for 6 out of the next 7 weeks (although 2 of them are away derbies, plus another Adelaide away). Not so sure if that’s a smart idea when you are trying to build momentum on the back of the WC. But at least the Xmas derby is likely to sell out.

I just don't get it.
We start(ed) this season with 6/8 away from home including away to Wellington twice.
How does that make sense in anyone's world?

what   a   Joke    of  a   schedule .

Didnt AU have to play their first few away due to their stadium upgrade? 

We were away the last game pre-WC break, so thats 7 out of 8. then we have 7 out of out last 10 at home. I agree its bullshit. 

Yeah supposedly the first few you're right sorry and it's pretty even now after these next two away games.

I'm just annoyed we don't get a post world cup home game till after xmas coz i think people would have turned out in big numbers to give Goodwin a welcome home.

Is the Aleague (men's) back ON this weekend? Sounds like the APL didnt have a lot of faith in our boys beating Argentina?

I guess they didn't have a huge amount of time to play around with (although they probably could have started the season a bit earlier).
The thinking may have been if the socceroos exceed expectations (which they did) there are only about 8 players missing from across the 12 clubs.

4,258 at the Roar v Adelaide tonight.

It' s   great   to   see   the   FA  &   APL   capitalising    on    the  socceroos   performance   at   the   WC .. .

How' s    that    bid   for   Ronaldo    coming   along  ??

There was genuine interest, he nearly came. Wonder if Suarez nearly comes as well?

Ahahahaha 

Look at the Wollongong Stadium, looks like a Cow paddock, Cows that have been having sexual relations with Bulls, what a shithouse surface!
No One has gone to the Wellington vs Wanderers match. Why do the APL continue to allow they're clubs to keep to shit deals like having to play a match at the neutral Wollongong? Fish where the fish are!
The APL have obviously not gone out of they're way to keep the momentum going, coming from the Socceroos. How can Soccer not feel embarrassed?
I know, because they have no shame. O'Rourke and Townsend do me personally a favour and just resign.
