Talking Footy

gws are killing it on the field they are destroying most opponents but still no one cares cant even get 10,000 to a match, in such a big city with such a huge population its very worrying for the AFL

But but but but we are told that are beating NRL teams
Are more popular
Blah blah
& don't forget the AFLOL mantra chanted continuously

I thought they were the biggest thing in Western Sydney according to Mr Essendon.


Should be based in Adelaide where they can be appreciated.

Pretty funny when they are on par with several of the nrlol clubs

The Giants rate better on tv in Sydney alone than the Wanderers do nationally. Says it all really doesn't it.

& they aren't in the same ballpark as Syd Rl clubs TV ratings in Syd .

I am not sure if that would be the case if the Wanderers had every game live on 7mate in Sydney like the Giants.

Giants have a huge promotional advantage as far as fta television coverage over the Wanderers.

When will you get it through your thick skull that commercial networks aren't interested in soccer. It just doesn't rate.

Even SBS wants out of broadcasting the rubbish after ratings plummeted again last season.

Why is it that we have this thread about the Giants and their lack of apparent appeal, yet they rate better in Sydney alone on tv than your beloved Wanderers do nationally? Seems Sydney cares less about the Wanderers than the Giants... wouldn't you agree?

To the best of my knowledge the Wanderers never had a TV audience in Sydney of only 9000 people like the Giants did against St Kilda.

Well sbs is a low budget channel though. Why are foxtel still keen then?

Foxtel sell subscriptions plus make $$$ on some ad revenue

FTA stations will not pay big $$$ for something that they cannot whack advertising in .

Only hope for a decent payday for Sokka is Optus or another company in a bidding war with Fox
Otherwise fox has them over a barrel
& armed with the woeful STV ratings last yr there won't be a large offer on the table
