There's more sports taking on the summer timeslots than ever before.

Going to a winter time slot is a good discussion to have right now. It will provide a better standard of football but at what price?

Anything that penalizes attendance and income needs to be considered but a drop of 10% or more will squash any winter football ambition.

only it works during winter is moving some games midweek and using smaller stadiums that are easily accessible.

bingo for starters, the used large stadiums are ridiculous.

You decide to launch your product in the safety of not competing against the bigger or popular 1 2 3 codes.
No planB or C in case of set backs or curve balls, whats the concern of losing audience/gate takings ( in winter) for only so few get good support (MV likely lose's a good % who'll go to AFL) what about the other 50% in the program who's gate takings are bugger all, wouldn't cover their running weekend costs but getting their cut from ALM HQ.
Its taken 20+ yrs for the MLS get some sort of following But they have farfar far more well off owners and population to draw on and used to Franchise/Conference systems and they still don't gain much respect in the football world.
Looking ahead the ALM is going to struggle growing where they hope to be for as we know kids/adults have many other interests today and wherever they are can view online instead of attending games.

The hardcore of support hidden below are the ones many mock, your dreaming and once the WC ends and old news it will be back to normal stations, sorry just how it goes here we've been there done that.
The biggest bait is openning up that won't happen as we know.
NSD is the future to pull more supporters in at that end BUT where is the ALM going to draw new supporter/s and how long will it take if its model is as it is.
Look at the struggling ones right now and the Champ without a home ground.
Seriously guys how would you look at it if this comp was presented to you to run manage and sell.

Maybe - but it also might be something that will push them to improve the Paramount streaming service. How much cricket will be on Paramount, how much on 10, how much on 10 Bold.

It could actually benefit football with cross-promotion between the codes. If 10/Paramount becomes a home for cricket and football (and whatever other sports Paramount have access to) then it can be the go-to streaming service for sport.

There are some reports that the largest streaming services worldwide in the near medium term will be ESPN and Paramount+. The bonus with Paramount is that many of the shows and movies that are Netflix are now coming to their run on Netflix and will return to the Paramount libraries.        

got to stop 'worrying' about other codes and just do whats best for the sport. 

I dont mind the AL season being played in the warmer months i have an issue with the season being short and the lack of alignment with the NPL we need to make a change to align both and we need to make the season at least 8 months - personally i would get rid of finals and add in another round of every team plays each other 

however i understand commercially this probably doesnt work
