would love to go to a Premier league match, even Championship. Went to New York NFL 2016, and will go to London next five years to see sports capitol of world.

You can stick your uncompetitive EPL, Bundesliga and Serie A - this year's A-League is far more entertaining

wow, another sports star bites the dust in financial terms. FMD, it is not hard to set yourself up for the future.
Rule one, learn common sense savings and investment habits, especilally if you have a family.
Rule two, never rely on others to invest your money.

Brisbane used to get a pretty good crowd average, as did Perth. Hopefully in the future they too can get regular matches above 15,000.
Good luck to both clubs getting more fans back.

The A-League Men needs a lot more games like the Sydney Derby

28,000 last night. Good to see. Good match.

Is a sold out Sydney derby the spark that sets the A-League alight?

not sure about that Brett. The A-League, even with just a 8,000 crowd average, is indeed a major sport in this country.
As far as international sport, Aussies do have an interest in our football teams, as well as many international competitions.
You only have to observe the growth in this interest over the last 40 years from paltry crowds to sell out stadiums. I saw Australia play Greece in a friendly, 90,000 people.

yep, the few big games that attract good crowds are important to keep attention on the A-League.

I reckon the broadcasters will work out what is the right price they are prepared to pay. Good luck to any sport for what it gets, and I look forward to any football deal.

sadly could not stay away for Aussie innings, but they were great when fielding. The effort to win was as good as I ever recall.

yes, with WSW having a great stadium, i am amazed they do not get bigger crowds (problems or not).

how sad if a-league folds. I think/hope it can survive, but some major changes needed.

will be interesting to see what sort of crowds Western United gets at home ground 2024.
5000 capacity but i will be surprised if they get that. Maybe they should give tickets away to get more attendees and perhaps some future interest.
I wonder if that proposed 15,000 private funded stadium ever gets built.

Top tier of english football has always been popular in Australia. I used to buy Shoot magazine long ago, as many others did too.

If the Matildas can draw sell-out crowds, why can't the A-League Men?

Doc i would qualify that my stating number one football league is AFL. But football is also very big when you take account of interest in sport – various national leagues like EPL, major international competitions as evident by recent World Cups, and participation numbers.
Football indeed is a major sport in Australia already, albeit the A-league struggles for crowds for a number of reasons when compared to the AFL and NRL.

AFLW crowds went down once they started charging small entry cost, so any sporting league must be careful in find the right balance between revenue and patronage at games.
