The attendance was listed as 14k. Members only come to about 2/3 games.
The disadvantage of a boutique stadium is you cant sell more for big matches once you hit capacity.
Sydney and WSW need to have a big stadium they make all their money off the derby. Adelaide have got a much better away record than home so much for home advantage.
Adelaide United have got what every A-League club wants - home advantage
Roy Emerson won all 12 grand slams when the US pro tour had the majority of the good players in tennis. Emerson would have struggled to win a single grand slam otherwise.

The intensity of the Adelaide Melbourne match was miles ahead of the Sydney Brisbane match despite the later match being played in the low 20’s. The only reason I can think to explain what Talay is up to is funny business, he doesnt like using subs apparently, frozen out Burgess and didnt give time to young players but the red carpet is roled out for Sotorio and he gets on early and as far as I know didnt play at all in India. Bizzare goings on Talay has snubbed so many, Sotorio looked rusty and his bad touch gave the ball away. Deavenish Meares the only sense that I get he is there for funny business but apparently he is a sweeper keeper and his usual problem is his butter fingers , usually he rushes out recklessly to get to balls , it was quite weird seeing him retreat to one he would have got to easily. King his expression when he scored his goal was weird, he made Halloran look a million dollars, the reason Brisbane got Halloran and now they keep Zadkovich in his job is Sydney. Leo Sena if the rest of the team is tired him being a joke defensively that jogs in defence but has the energy to dribble in attack comes to the fore.
The comments against Freke for Sydney 2nd and 3rd goals are clearly wrong, Quintal his shot is in the corner, no one would have saved it. Gilroy is a liability in the air, he is short and weak, that left back Roar had last match was tall fast strong and good. The third goal is not that close to goal but its headed from the center of the goal so Herrington should have been there.
Brisbane Roar FINALLY earn first win with massive boilover, Reds pinch top spot from Auckland
Where was it announced by Channel 7?
Prime have the rights already have they agreed to sell it on to Channel 7 for this match,.
Fox have all the rights to India, England, and South Africa.
Free-to-air rights secured for Australia's tour of Sri Lanka
This crowded schedule with a bye means you give teams big advantages.
MAriners played on Saturday , Wanderers in Perth on Tuesday.
The cost of freezing out players and overusing others was evident.
Badalato what was the purpose of him coming on in the 90th minute against Glory.
Brilliante he was the biggest struggler in this match and played 90 againsst Glory.
Even if you dont like a player use them when the schedule is the most crowded.
Mata wins praise for 'best game he's played', delightful assist - but Wanderers go down to motivated Mariners
Wood going to Perth makes no sense, Taggar never gets subbed off, then you have Nathaniel Blair who cant get game time. Wood will find himself in exactly the same spot.
Sotorio did his achilees in India I dont know if he even to got to play there.

The A-league contract is with Paramount not Ten.
Why has the new national team deal put a lot of Socceroos and Matildas matches on Paramount only if ratings are so important. The answer they prefer to get subscribers for Paramount over viewers on Channel 10.
CHannel 10 when they show their endless show promos for Paramount whats in it for them.
Ten teams still in the hunt: Why A-League parity makes it more interesting than anything in Europe
No they dont, Seven have only partial rights to the AFL. Nine have only partial rights to NRL.
Paramount owns Ten so they have 100% rights to the A-league.
Channel 10 has more reason to support the A-league yet we have seen nothing from them.
Its comes back to one thing CHannel 10, they dont need anyone else if Channel 10 did one 10th of what they did for the BIg Bash in the most lunatic and overblown sport promotion in Australian history.

How Brisbane Roar women lost to Canberra is a mystery. City why wouldn’t you be starting the strongest team with Hayashi, the first goal against City Varley could have attempted to at least make a tackle , and her giveaway against Canberra at the end. Yallop missed a penalty in the City loss as well. The women will probably be facing City in the final, but how many times do Brisbane bend over for City.

The thing that reveals the truth about the Australian media is they all had articles on All Stars vs Newcastle in preview then somehow only the womens all stars vs Arsenal got a match report.
Once that score of 8-0 hit it was like they were taking emergency evasive action I have never a groups of rats dissapear quicker up a drain pipe than after that result.
Thurgate was good in that match as well, it was a good selection for the All Stars men in contrast to the women.
Ibini was her walking self and the womens so called all star selection was worse than an average A-league womens team.
What is happening with coaching staff at Sydney FC its not just Juric who has a blind spot with Ibini the assistant coaches shouting at other players to move while Ibini is walking its ridiculous.
Then to top it all off the club gives her a special presentation and award pre match.
The best moment for me last season was when Ibini was subbed off in the grand final, then Sydney went onto finally score a goal.

That own goal looked dodgy ,did Mrcela really slip?
He is a former Wanderers player.
Lebib got credited with the own goal, is there any on target rule with deciding own goals.
'Wasn't the prettiest' but ugly win proves glorious for Wanderers as they stalk Sydney in sixth
One day world cup gets more revenue as it has a lot more hours of games involving the top nations in particular.
Dollars and sense the only way to save Test cricket, not two-tier system that gives Big Three even more control
The old days it was amazing how many one day matches they got touring teams to play given they were never paid anything either and how long they stayed in Australia. With the best of 5 finals following the 15 match round robin. Foreign cricket boards are no longer as blindly accepting of such things.

Again completely wrong, the length of test cricket means every test match with India is super valuable and has many hours to sell. Cricket is a good sport of touring because the number of hours TV is high the players can produce a lot of content during the tour.
Every poor cricket country is willing to play as many test matches as they can with India and England.

The last tour from India visiting South Africa earnt the board 70 million US.
I dont have a clue about the South African T20 comp, the BCCI could well be earning income from it how much goes to the South African board.

Every team Folau has played for has conceeded more with him in it since he left Melbourne Storm.
Folau scores stunner in narrow loss to champs, Foley try leaves Eddie's Suntory in trouble, Rennie's Kobe struggling
Bangladesh community is growing in Australia and would be in the major cities.
Australia pays it contracted test cricketers millions each year , so the main cost is fixed, the match payments are low since they are doing equal pay on the match payments between men and women and they dont pay the touring team. They make a massive profit if England play 5 they still make a good profit if its Bangladesh. The more thay play here the more money they make . Touring overseas they get no money at all.

Highly profitable T20 comps?
BBL was making a loss the CEO said so 30 million a year a few years back
A lot of the T20 comps have gone broke.
The ICC money not one cent comes from T20 comps its all international cricket and a lot of it is from one day cricket.
There is is one country that makes a lot of money from its T20 comp India, as well as from every other form of cricket including test cricket.

Lebib is getting better, the commentators were saying Anausmo I was wondering why the sprint race was so close, Lebib is a good athlete but Anausmo is really fast.
Commentators why do the overseas commentators get it right and A-league commentators particularly Hill are almost blind.

Australia actually has more than enough money to save test cricket by itself and Australia is actually above everyone in terms of keeping a higher percentage of the cricket revenue generated by Australia to itself while also getting a large chunk of overseas revenue as well.
This is because Australians mainly like to watch cricket when its played in Australia in a good time slot and when its the off season to the winter sports. So Australia might get a big domestic cricket TV deal but when they tour overseas the other country gets paid only a little nowhere near as much as when England tour, let alone India who generated most of the test cricket revenue for other countries.
Australia generate about 500m mostly from international cricket yet the tourings teams dont receive a cent of that money. All the players in the BIg Bash are getting paid and all the coaches as well the only teams that are not being paid are the touring teams.

Genreau has 57 minutes so far this season. Boyle has been scoring.
A lot of those players you mention are on winter breaks.
Rising stars show their class: A-League players who were the difference in Round 13
Why do you say Wanderers were the only team with the bye thats a given.
Pierias cross for the second Adelaide goal was an straight to the keeper , you cant give the Wellingto keeper man of the match for Adelaide so Pierias gets it.

Two things stood out with City and Roar, firstly all the old players are duds except Oshea and all the young players are good except McNIchol., Klein was superb, Hingert got totally owned by Politidis the left back that came on at the end though was very good.
Then the most inexplicable thing happened Jelacic was put into the clear by Zimarino at the side of the penalty area with no defender in front of him. Then he turns away from goal back into two defenders . No mention from the commentators or the W here. They may all be in on whats happening at Roar for all we know.
Talay has a lot of tired players and a lot of fresh players either on bench or parts unknown. He could have really killed this period with rotation his two victories Perth away and CCM the so called champions with hardly any of the players from their champion winning team.
Adelaide have the refs and Wellington on their side, another astonishing non penalty decision.
Auckland looked ordinary against Perth they have not been that impressive. What about Anausmo at the end, what did he do to get frozen out at Perth.
Victory lose Geria the new coach Diles is a bit like Talay improved football but defensive cost.
Holman needs to get his head out of his rear his performances recently have been more like a christmas turkey.

Lauton did the spectacular bicycle kick but hardly played any minutes and done anything otherwise.
Western United at the start of the season with their twin strikers they then put Grimaldi wide who just tended to drift inwards and then try to shoot or work a pass throught the center which didnt suit Ibusuki or Botic.
Walatee has had an increasing effectivness where now he is the major attacking weapoin going wide. Then you have Vickery a very recent addiiton but one with good delivery and makes a lot of wide runs. .
Western United are now a title threat with a lot of young attacking weapons. If they want to dominate and control possesion against the best teams I am not convinced that having both Botic and Ibusuki they have the workrate to allow them to do that.
Western United are putting the fun back in the A-League Men
Serena being 2 and Djokovic 11 is ridiculous, she won less than Djokovic, had less opposition and most of her titles was when other top players got injured or retired early.
