wonder what the A League Syd Derby will get... haven't heard really anything about it.. besides Syd FC are FAVS and tickets have been sluggish Sydney is a tough old sporting market. The A-league has no marquee players this year that I know of and crowds and interest seem to be down from last year s...

Soccer’s so called Big Blue last night between Melbourne Victory vs Sydney FC attracted 24k last night in Melbourne. Long gone are the days this match up was considered a blockbuster with big crowds that’s for sure. Wonder what the tv ratings were? Good days when 24k isn't considered a big crowd fo...

RL gets excellent TV ratings and at least has an international footprint. If fumbling is even 15% as good as these Victorians make it out to be you'd think it would have made inroads into at least one overseas market. Fumblers can pretend this doesn't matter all they want but it must surely eat them...

Why is NRL of a made for tv nature?

Most of the action happens on a relatively narrow section of the field so is easy to capture.

I reckon Wanderers are in for a massive bump once they ditch Spotless and move into the new Parramatta stadium which will also be after A league expansion. Also the Eels as well. FFA needs to consider South-Western Sydney for expansion (Liverpool and Campbelltown) because there's massive population ...

Yeah Beaussie, nobody cares about Australian football. It's in crisis I tell you. 16,800 fans in Newcastle and 323k watching on TV. Just been announced that the Matildas will play two games in Victoria against China which will attract much more interest and viewers than the male fumble ballers did i...

BTW leagueiscrap, FYI just to clarify and save your confusion on my above post on 'America'- I was referring to a country known as the USA. The USA is one of the world's most significant countries.

Haha you're the ultimate douche Leagueiscrap, the Matildas got a television audience of 323k across FTA and Fox Sports for this one. Good on them. Sam Kerr, who plays in the American league, is dominating women's football at the moment and this says something because there's millions of more women p...

Vast sections of the stadium empty, many of the fans travelling Aussies, followed by a typical game of VFL which must have had the local Chinese truly perplexed ie loads of grown men fumbling and yet another blowout score line. Oh dear.

Lol Sydney FC are still averaging around 16k per game this season while at the same time you VFL jabronis talk up GWS which averaged just 12,333 last season. As was mentioned before we do this on a pittance of a marketing budget compared to what VFL spend in NSW. Your hate is most welcome.

Rugby League will forever be number 1 in NSW and soccer can continue to grow as a successful number 2. Living in Sydney I rarely see a Swans jersey in public outside of game day or people talking about VFL.

Yeah we all remember what happened to your World Cup bid and A-League grand final you wanted at Etihad stadium lol. You lot are insignificant in this country. When will you fuckheads accept reality. World Game lol Lol your game is insignificant to the 99.99% of the world and much of Australia outsi...

I reckon you VFL apes should be scared. Give it a few years and a presence on one of the mainstream channels (other than SBS Vice lol) and our TV viewership will increase exponentially. Only a boring demographic of upper-middle class white guys care about VFL in Sydney; most people talk about the wo...

That is the thing with NRL and Football, they have a long history of working together, as they are not mutually exclusive, mind you us footballers wouldn't mind if you rugby/League players didn't turn over the ground as much, we would really appreciate it thanks. in the UK, France and Argentina the...

Yeah Na , I'm not that concerned with A league attendances and TV viewership quite healthy this season and expected to increase from last. Expansion is already on the cards and the game continues to grow. Us soccer wogs hardly need to 'take over from VFL' to feed your insecurities; we just need to e...
