Hellenic Hero Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Can see them lining up something like this: Thomas Geria Donachie Williams Deng Broxham Valeri George Troisi Kosta Berisha Troisi won't be able to play the full game, and I imagine Milligan will only play a little if at all. Going to be a very cynical, physical game IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 My take on what I saw of the tards game last weekend, is that their main weapon is their pace on the flanks. Not sure we want a centre back trying to deal with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave up on my first attempt as it seemed to keep asking me for a barcode and I wasn't getting anywhere. When I returned I found it very easy although it is completely non intuitive and unclear. All you need to do is put in your barcode once to "unlock the offer" then you keep adding tickets to the shopping basket. Their software is another one of the many badly written ones around.

A-league as whole has lost interest this season. I'm not sure that we're deep enough into the season to say that, and in any case how is that measured? By attendances? I don't see that it's reasonable to expect that attendances will continue to grow with each passing season unless the product actually improves - hype does not equal quality. With changes to the A-League seemingly stalled by FFA, I can't see any particular reason to expect growth this season. I still think that A-League attendances are solid when looked at on a global basis. The veiled media criticism of City's attendance on Friday night prompted me to look through the English League 1 and League 2 attendances for the weekend, and if my research was correct we were exceeded by only one - that at Notts County - and some of those attendances were pitifully small compared with ours.

But that's a comparison with Level 3 and 4. The Champions league have an average attendances of 20,000 (which is what Huddersfield and our favourite son attract). I am not doom and gloom but am certainly in the camp of disappointment of FFA's promotional abilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but IMO the A-League is not Championship standard, and further we're dealing here with a relatively minor sport compared with the position football occupies in England. There are some pretty heavy-hitting clubs in the Championship with long traditions - such as Cardiff, Villa, Forest, Leeds, Sunderland, Wolves - who have big supporter bases. I very much doubt that marketing alone will propel the A-League to dizzying new heights. IMO we have to find a way of getting a total of 16 clubs in there and loosen the shackles on what players we can sign, and I think then we will see spectator numbers grow.

neio Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 The Aleague should be starting this weekend, having it start last week was too close to end of afl and nrl seasons so there was no hype And they need to start the season with some big games especially the season opener Next 2 weeks with both big derbies will help fill the stands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're probably going to have to do it anyway once expansion happens so why not, its not like its gonna lose any of the 'clear air' it supposedly was going to get by starting last week. That way we can honour international breaks as well without losing any time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know that not all matches would be televised, or there would be a couple televised at the same time but on different channels, but IMO avoiding the heat (including for the fans travelling to the match and sitting through it) is much preferable to watching half-paced matches with a measurable risk of health risk to the players. If we do expand the league, either the season has to be extended, or there have to be more mid-week matches, so FFA/TV are going to have to be more flexible anyway, and we might as well get used to that now rather than later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
