A-League Sydney derby crowd the lowest in years

Post by Beaussie »

Gees the A-League has some serious problems. The Sydney derby used to be massive and always guaranteed a huge crowd.

Not now…

Yeah pretty bad. Looks like the booming NRL has sucked the life outta the other sports in 'ol Sydney town. But whats going on wif the gavver round beatup? I saw a crowd posted for the North v Brisbane game of 10,613. WTF?????? 6k less than the Aleague. Is that a mistake pal or just a joke on the AFL??

Many NRL derby get crowds similar, if not smaller than 16k the a round ball code just did.

Not sure tbh, but remember all the hype back in the day with the massive crowds for the Sydney derbies at Olympic Stadium and the Sydney Football Stadium?

Parramatta Stadium was reimagined with soccer styled standing terraces, and rebuilt based on the popularity and success of the a Wanderers back then. I never really hear about the A-League in Sydney these days, unless it’s the flares and silly fan behaviour.
