Seriously mate, you are missing the point. They have 100 teams in their National Premier League, and most are non ethnic. Even the ethnic teams realise they have to change. Keep thinking that soccer and FFA have mostly ethnic clubs and bye bye. However the important thing is they are...

Quick Let me answer the question before it is asked by some. All are important to rugby especially the third point. Question to Half from the G&GRF. Please tell us why these 100 National Premier League clubs are important and these broadcast. Three reasons, 1] It helps create locals...

Been back about two weeks . Am no longer interested in Super Rugby. Just hope we are smart enough to give the game back to the people. Actually what was the main thing that brought me back looking at what the FFA have done and it sounds very simple and I think is just took forever to get everyone on...

^^^^ Why Aust & Japan and not Aust & NZ

FFA set up two things, they first set up a National Premier League and set entry rules, which included appointing a coaching director qualified to a certain level, establishing teams from U 8 to U 16, and access to a field. They allocated to each state a certain number of places. Having...

^^^^ p.Tah Good nay excellent post and I, 98% agree. The 2% I don't agree is where you said this should come from the ARU down. What FFA did was spent nearly fours years listening and asking for how to set up their National Premier League & FFA Cup. They asked everyone to tick off if...

Thanks for your reply and I largely agree with your post. I have since the late 90's wanted change and believed for years the answer was going to a national domestic competition. My belief at the time but is no longer my belief is the revenue short fall would be small and we could recover in...

Dru & P.Tah Further to my post above this was one of the lead 4 stories on News Sports, for how I have no idea. Check out the broadcasters calling. We have to go local to me its so obovious and create a national domestic league. Listen to the call and the article and remember this was...

Are you seriously suggesting unreported rating figures are higher than reported one. Does your credibility no good. As to ratings my thoughts are well published and understood I throught . I think its because we lack enough Australian sides and Australian matches. I don't believe off field...

Dru & P.Tah Love your thoughts on the following. Tonight aside from the Liverpool V SFC with over a 70K crowd, there where a large number of FFA cup matches. The following link is one and its between two Victorian sides...

Was asked tonight or more a statement was made and it may have already been covered but I don't know the answer. Say the force are cut. WA hold a contract with the ARU to have a Super Rugby team. So WA Rugby sue the ARU. What are loses if the Force have been losing money. To sue there...

The current ARU board is by light years the best board of any sporting body in Australia ever.

Wookie I guess the ratings not published are lower than those published. Meaning the actual Australian ratings would be under 50k and non Australian ratings under 45K. Is this logic correct. I just checked your site and you said considerable data missing. Could it be possible Australia...

You are not the only one. Not sure they pass as well a while since I completed my public practice certificate, but some assumptions being made I am not sure would stand up in court.

^^^^^ I like To Watch You are wrong, not in the players in this match would get a run in an A-League side. Like this is stubbies type matches . BUT its building from the bottom its creating fans where there A-League teams don't play. I wish I had better writing skills, every...

Wam Below I have linked two only Face Book broadcast of the FFA Cup today. Two things first the matches are not great I suggest on both links you go to around the 20 minute point and watch for say two minutes or so. First these things are being done by the clubs because its an inclusive...

Not blame,- hold accountable for their decisions!!!! Of the following do you think there should be no responsibility for key management decisions taken. IMO none have anything to do with the game they are all structural issues. Each has had consequences. 1] Moving Saturday morning district...

True is an absolute sense. My point was FFA started with a one million dollar media deal and averaged 22 K on Fox when they started and the NSL before them drew average crowds of 3.5 K. At the same time we where screaming along. In the 12 years of the A-League, they have grown to have far...

Where To For Super Rugby, is an interesting question, in the past I have mercilessly attacked the ARU for their miss management of the game. Change of tack but not conclusion. For the last 12 years we have been in competition [for want of a better word] with soccer. How has the ARU management...
