Scheduling !!!

Post by Fred »

So here we go again - AFL have put the suns fans overlapping with the pies game on Saturday night - this pusses me off so much - whereas I would watch both over the weekend I know have to choose - taping one and hoping not to get any scores in the other - I literally have to put something on my TV to block out the score they show of the other game. Why oh why agl!!

the AFL and the networks do not care about the small majority that will watch the SUNS>
the high majority will watch the PIES game, and the fans that really want to watch the suns will watch.. which is always low.

is this a good thing.. (no i do not believe it is)
it is not good for the lower rating teams to at least try and build an audience.

(at least i find with the TITANS>> while majority of there games are on FOX ONLY, at least they are not competing against other NRL teams
which i think disadvantages the SUNS

Totally agree - and this home games in NT - totally sucks. Lots of supporters hate it - and the club are wanting out - just the away game maybe.

Yep, same happened recently with Swans vs Giants and Crows vs Power. Got me thinking, these clubs should lobby for standalone Thursday night fixtures to avoid Friday night double headers and gain a national audience.

they can add the crowd up and put the total against each game to make more impressive, copying the NRL
