With the high standard of play in the A-League, why are the crowds so low?

[Monoethnic Social Club]

The first point was the insinuation that disagreeing with those old NSL clubs was racist.

It's an absolute furphy to suggest migrant communities wouldn't be welcome at A-League clubs when it's proven that clubs like Sydney, WSW, Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane have large multicultural fanbases.

NOPE thats not it at all.

Migrant communities are well and truly welcomed to the Aleague as paying customers.... ALL franchises in this country would be stupid NOT to.

What about the actual football clubs supported by these communities... are they still NOT Australian enough for you? Should they not also be welcome? .. actually Don't bother answering, we know what assimilationists like to preach....

 

[Sharkman84]

and yet you call us retards???

I said fucktards there is a difference.

 

[Monoethnic Social Club]

Has it ever occurred to you the rest of the football community backed the league?

The reasons why the crowds are low have nothing to do with the bs you're spinning.

So what do YOU think the reason for the poor crowds is?

Happy for the apostates and event goers to back the league but even you must admit they arent doing so in the numbers they once where 10 years ago........ You can't blame the wogs and teh fucktards in Melbourne for this, thsi is purely on the franchises and their lack of community/identity...

 

[Sutherlandbear]

Tis tis, try gaslight away now, you racist pratt! Go on play the victim, next time more carful with your slurs though...

People who accuse people of racism are usually the racists themselves.

Oh and talk like a man, Gaslight , FFS.

 

[Monoethnic Social Club]

Mate, it's obvious you're just here looking for a fight so I'll let you wallow in your own stupidity.

You know full well what I'm talking about but you're twisting it to turn it into a fight.

Not at all.... just sick and tired of the devisive nature of the whole thing... You don't like "effnik" clubs, sure whopee doo, but WE are NOT the reason for the decline in popularityof the Aleague... We never engaged with it in the first place.

You contend that OUR clubs shouldn't even exist and then wonder why we think yours shouldn't either???

 

[Sharkman84]

NOPE thats not it at all.

Migrant communities are well and truly welcomed to the Aleague as paying customers.... ALL franchises in this country would be stupid NOT to.

What about the actual football clubs supported by these communities... are they still NOT Australian enough for you? Should they not also be welcome? .. actually Don't bother answering, we know what assimilationists like to preach....

How is it the rest of the football community has no problems getting behind the A-League but luddites stuck in the past like yourself won't?

 

[Monoethnic Social Club]

It must be a Melbourne issue.

It seems old West Adelaide fans have by an large got behind AUFC.

The hope is that the revival of clubs under a new pyramid in the years moving forward will reverse the cannibalism and see crowds return to these old clubs making the spread a lot more even and engage alot more people... Now you may see them as wogs or fucktards or whatever vile slander you wanna throw but the fact is some people may like things different to you, and freezing them out ONLY because of your perceived opinion of their "effnicity" is pretty wrong.. at least in my book... who are you (or I ) to tell a football club who they can or cant appeal to?

SR1968 just for reference - Avg season crowds far right.

Dropping from '14 - if I was looking at my business EOFY balance sheet I wouldn't be jumping up and down last few years of 1k increments but better than a poke in the eye as my ol man would say.

May i ask ,where you got your figures from, as mine seem to differ for this season.

 

[Monoethnic Social Club]

How is it the rest of the football community has no problems getting behind the A-League but luddites stuck in the past like yourself won't?

How can you follow a football club from birth and then chose to ignore it when a new shiny plastic franchise comes along? I dont know about being a luddite, its a bit hard to in this day and age of 24/7 technological intervention in our lives but Id certainly rather be a club member than a McDonalds customer.

Your hypocrisy is off the scale. " Vile slander " ? You have made a career on this and the old forum, doing just that.

[Sutherlandbear]

Selectivity at its best.. bumper crowds were a thing then as they are now and a quick look at the official figures shows it (except when you choose not to look incase you catch a dose of "effnik").. more convenient though how you flip flop between major event and week to week crowds to prove non points.. show us your bumper crowds week in week out outside of 2 comet seasons? Then explain the discrepencies between the 2, rapid cash influxes, population boom etc etc....

Typical Anglo rife hypocricy....You always "conveniently" lay blame at what was there before, but "head in the sand" lack of accountability for the collosal fuck up that you continue to bring afterwards!

Ill give you the benefit of the doubt if you prove to me, with facts, the leaps and bounds progress our code has made under your tutelage/tenure?? Go on champ!

Get the chip off both of your shoulders FFS.

With pleasure Sutho, I actually thought I added the link originally but see above.
As we well know we could look up quite a few websites and all will vary, who's really in the position to say I have the official proven stats but I notice from other posts mentioning avg's they look similar to this link.
I'm sure you got yours ans saved due to higher ranking
