It looks like the derbies actually pull ok. It's the jobber teams people don't seem to want to watch

It's not that people don't watch the A-League, it's that people don't watch FTA TV.
Based on those being the highest rating shows for that time, demonstrates that approx 85-90% of the population are watching something else on any number of streaming platforms, or doing something else entirely.

Not true, the Matildas pull big numbers on FTA and there on streaming as well, FTA is still a massive market for sports.

would love to know the streaming numbers. for all we know there might be another 125,000 watching on P+

On another note, now that there is no FTA AFL and NRL on Saturdays, this presents the A-League with a bit of a free hit. should get big numbers for the finals series.

I suggest that there is a direct correlation between the visual effect of a decent crowd and the aural effect of noise coming into play here. It is not just the teams - the whole experience has more energy and a sense that something is at stake. I may get some flack for fronting up here and saying that I no longer watch Brisbane home games, MacArthur home games, Melbourne City home games, or Western United home games. The endless empty seats are simply depressing and there is no sense of urgency or atmosphere. It literally looks like noone cares, and, to be direct, that's because hardly anyone does. Certainly not enough to go to a game. Brisbane, MC, WU, and Bulls games look terrible on tv. They bring the whole League down.

Brisbane because of appalling ownership and management.
Bulls and WU because they should never have been admitted to the League until some future point they were viable.
City because CFG have no interest and as an organisation are on the nose for many people.

None of these are fixable in the current status quo.

I was at my folks on Saturday and Channel 7 was on in the background with the VFL .. there was NOBODY there but they still broadcast it ... I wonder if it being shown on TV will attract any fans to what is effectively the AFL's version of the NPL?
 

SEVEN’S HORSE RACING 2025 Seven 820,000
SEVEN’S AFL: SATURDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL Seven 43,000
SUPER RUGBY PACIFIC 2025 Nine 41,000
ALM below 40k didn't make the ratings.

Those figures are appalling for all sports other than horse racing.

I assume the AFL was only shown into Sydney on Seven as it's meant to be Foxtel/Kayo exclusive on Saturday now. Not sure the Super Rugby. It really should be a huge opportunity for the A-League to market itself on FTA on Saturday nights with the other major sports only on pay TV.
 
Until we have stadiums that have enough people in them to generate atmosphere for the TV cameras, there is no future for the A League other than what we have now, which is struggling for both relevance and survival.

That was what Frank Lowy got utterly wrong - stadiums - and its crippled the A League since the first season.

Crowds were selling out the first few seasons? It's all the mistakes the suits have made that dragged us to today

The sliding door is what if we had academies a nyl and a 2nd division from the get go. The 2nd division was killed by the pfa, the lack of youth development was weird

It quickly became clear that football wasn't improving as it got more popular

Well I don't think many people involved in the game care about the future it's more what juice they can squeeze from it now then it's someone else's problem to fix

crowds were never going to be sustainable unless we were regularly producing golden gen quality players, and preferably better because eventually perceptions caught up with the league
 
My belief is that if every team had been in an appropriately sized stadium, like Hindmarsh, from the outset, then we would be in a very, very different position today. Empty stadiums build nothing but empty tv ratings.
