It's all true... but I believe the main problem is the quality of football.Originally Posted by Jetmaster
I think most Australian football fans follow the EPL, and they probably refuse to fork out for tickets, memberships etc to watch something 2 levels below.
NRL and AFL are "local" sports, so there is no comparison with other leagues.
I point out to every coach that comes along and , after going ahead, instructs his team to dive and roll around theatrically and time waste that all he doing is shooting himself in the foot as he won't have a job soon the way the ratings are heading.
Sure the administration of the game is shite but the standard of the game is rather gash if you compare to 5-10 years ago.
As noted my earlier post was about all sports - not just football, which has always been a few levels lower than EPL.
BBL is a great example, you are seeing quality players but many traditional cricket fans have switched off already and now they have ramped it up to saturation level the plastics are looking at alternatives.
The A-League was going OK until they smacked down active support and tried to make it "BBL like", moved away from a straight forward draw and stuffed up VAR implementation.
Thats very generous saying only 2 levels below EPL....

Mark Bosnich on the foxtels tonight calling for a lengthy suspension for Gypo Simon after his ref abuse.
Was pretty scathing considering the gypo is one of the players who gets a pass from his mates on the desk (gypo McBreen still refers to him as 'Simmo' on the telecast).
Reminds me of the 'Muscy being Muscy' bullshit we had to endure all those years ago when that dickhead was blowing peoples knees out.
That gypo sympathiser Miller then went on to crap on about the 'frustration' Gypo Simon and his teammates would be feeling..........but Bozza was having none of it.
bout time someone called out that gypo scumbag.
Missed it
What though were his thoughts on Brosques impending suspension??
Bozza and McBreen didn't get suspended for saying the F bomb by Fox either....

i'd say this would be worrying for FFA and the a-league.
Piss poor platform deserves to be dying
Can't wait for them to go bankrupt
The damage they have done to Oz society they deserve failure

Run the HAL into the ground for one with there wank arse business practices and the Shit fully.poor presentation where we have dimwits like Slater and Speed
Do I need to go on ??
They are actually shining. Remarkable.
Myself and a lot of others have long ago cancelled their fox subscriptions. Way too expensive for minimal delivery.
Not great for the A-League's coffers, but I think the medium is dying a slow death.
Kayo & other streaming platforms will slowly start taking up some of the content in the coming years as Foxtel continues to decline.
Never had Fox, Home games I attend and away games I go to wests
Foxtel owns Kayo.
They saw the writing on the wall years ago and know their non-sports content will eventually be taken back by their rights holders for their own streaming platforms (HBOgo, Disney+ etc). The future for foxtel is live sports via streaming.
It' (eventually) will be cheaper and more efficient to run vs traditional satellite/cable tech.
The A-league will be fine. Someone will always have room on a platform for some garbage.
Honestly didn't know Kayo was owned by Fox.
I watch any games I need to via My Football Live which, while not perfect, is perfectly adequate for my needs.
Good thing they seen it plenty of years ago and crippled the NBN plan just so their business model survived a few more years and they were able to keep rival competitors out as they exploited their nonopoly
