A kiwi team in an aussie league makes as much (if not more) sense as Aussie land in Asian competitions. Geography wise they are both no-nos….but logically, thumbs up for both cases!
Do Wellington Phoenix deserve to be in the A-League?
wow…such an one-sided comment only a Pom could write…thank God no tabloid trash in Aussie land!
Green seamers and barmy crowds: Everything you need to know about the 2019 Ashes venues
Hey Stuart, nice article mate! Cheers for you and your greek mates watching the game in Athens. Being Greek and a fan of the League I would certainly self-invite myself and join you…if only I wasn’t living in Romania…still good to hear that unlike playing the game, watching it is not prohibited as well 😉
We still get excited about Origin but for how much longer?
A bit off topic here, but I need a piece of advice and maybe Steve or somebody could help me…I’m about to visit the UK (coming from greece that is) next month and I will finally have a chance to watch for the first time ever a RL game live…so, before booking my tickets for the Huddersfield vs St.Helens Challenge cup game I would like to ask…where is better to be seated? In the middle of the field? next to the goal line? somewhere in between at 20m or so from the goal line? And should I go for the very front row or a bit further back would be adviced?
Thanx in advance guys!
The column you write when you're not writing a column
Well, Haas DID finish 5th but nevermind…we won’t let truth get in the way of a cool story…
The two F1 drivers who need to step up in 2019
I like your confidence…self proclaiming that your argument was “the most compelling to date”….nice stuff!
But reading exactly the numbers you provided, someone can argue the opposite…the biggest code in the US without P/R makes 18B…the biggest code in Europe’s big5 (equal population) with P/R makes 28B. And yes, there are other sports in Europe too, not everybody plays/watches football. Meanwhile, the two biggest codes in Australia with a population of 7.7% of Europe’s big5 make just 6% together of the revenue of Europe’s biggest code….so less revenue per capita despite adding two codes instead of one.
Obviously there are lot’s of other factors in the equation, demographics, GDP, global audience etc…but by no means the statistics you sir provided show clearly that no P/R is the right way to go.
Btw, what’s the NBL ???
Three reasons why the A-League should adopt promotion and relegation
well, what they did was not a “poor choice” or a “bad idea” as the author suggests…eating heavily before going to bed is a let’s say “bad choice”…what they did was more than that, what they did was UNETHICAL ΑΝD CHEATING.
their punishments are just fine…what was/is not fine in the cricket world were the minor punishments and prestige those athertons and duPlessis got. We should ask for heavier punishments for all them cheaters, instead of trying to get smith and co off the hook cos the Saffas did so as well
A broken media breaks our captain
yes it does! unfortunately I can confirm!
Can the Waratahs overcome a horrendous Super Rugby draw?
nice article…just to add that minorities is not just a Hungarian thing. Almost all countries in the region have minorities in the neighbourhood…Romanians live in Serbia, Serbs in Croatia,Greeks in FYROM (by the way, still that’s the name of the country) , Slavs in Greece, Albanians in Montenegro etc etc…
The list goes on and on…sports is a great way to bring people together and thus should be flexible. Having a team representing more or less the former Yugoslavia is not less weird than having the UK being represented by more than one national teams…while border-wise makes no sense, sports-wise it does so let’s keep on being flexible!
p.s. a quick basketball story… just a couple of years after people stopped killing each other in the Western Balkans, they realized that their basketball leagues are weak and need each other; thus creating the Adriatic league, a common championship with teams from all the ex-Yugoslavian states. And they get along just fine!
When sport, war and ethnicity collide
We DO read you shooter! Nice summary…although my Brownies are a bit high, they are not better than the next 2-3 teams…but who cares…we will be all drunk for our PO game anyway :)))
