    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    You are kinda missing my point too. If the A League is of poor standard, then the Socceroos should have lost all three games at the WC. Heck, should not have qualified for the WC. Most of them started their career in the A League, along with current players. I'm not saying the A League is of...

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    "Soceroos making it to the round of 16 doesn’t make the a league a credible soccer competition lol" When it comes to the A League, a number of people are negatively set in their ways. It's up to football administrators to change that. "all the real soccer fans are watching premier league...

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    There's a few reasons why the A League is struggling for crowds and ratings. One of them is the perception of the A League been a poor standard product on the field.. Add to that, it is harshly compared to the EPL. Now when you look closely at the current Socceroos squad, 20 of the 26, are...

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    A further 12 players in the squad also played in the A League. Maybe the standard of the A League has been underestimated. And yet those group of players were so close to equalising right at the death in the round of 16. If the A League survives and thrives, then the NRL will only benefit, as...

    League, Cricket and Netball deserve more, but geez that graph looks awful for Football.

    After what's happened in the last couple of weeks, I am more keen for Australia to win the world cup instead of hosting it.

    It's more preferably if they were rectangular. Both grounds are bigger in dimensions compared to Kardinia Park.

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    There's been stadiums that hosted the world cup final with an athletics running track. Yokohama and Berlin spring to mind. Also not every world cup stadium is rectangular, but it has to be FIFA compliant. Right now, the one oval stadium Australia could/might use is Kardinia Park in Geelong. It...

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    The first thing Aus/NZ have to do is to get some clarity on what time of the year the event would be held in. Is June/July a more permanent slot or is FIFA going to allow November/December from now on? Secondly, Aus/NZ will also want to know the voting process. If it's a SMALL group of 24 FIFA...

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    In my previous post, I was kinda brutal, but I'll be optimistic here. Next year's WWC will provide a great opportunity to impress FIFA. If the organization of the tournament is spot on with no controversy, crowds are great and the viewership across the world surprises FIFA due to the...

    Australia will co-host the WWC next year. If it's a success, then FIFA may give a second glance towards Aus/NZ. I do think Aus/ NZ will host it one day, but it may not be in our lifetime.

    I started following the game when it was a 22 round season. I don't mind if the NRL went back to 22 rounds as the season does drag on and Origin players miss one club game. But I dont know what sort of financial implications it would have on reducing a couple of rounds, although team 18 could...

    Like five or six days a week? If team 18 is Perth, then the NRL is expanding into a new market, another new metro. The NRL doesn't need to increase from four days a week. Meanwhile the AFL have teams in all five metro markets. Currently the NRL only has teams in three metro markets in...

    They may have the better facilities these days, however, players still need more TIME to recover. It is a body contact sport. Also the players won't get three byes a season when team 18 comes in. Player welfare needs to be a top priority.

    How many days a week should the NRL schedule for a typical round?

    Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

    If MNF is very marketable, then the NRL needs to get rid of Thursday nights. You can’t have five nights of football. It becomes oversaturated. The NRL also shouldn’t manufacture more undesirable timeslots for crowds. There has to be a balance, or a happy medium where you have timeslots that...

    Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

    It's not just about the clubs, but the fans too. Is it an inconvenience for fans to attend a Friday 6pm game? And speaking of fans, is having five nights of footy too much of a good thing? And in the overall bigger picture, the game needs to stop relying heavily on tv rights revenue because one...

    MNF should not return, because the other 14, (now 15 clubs) would begin to prepare for the next round, and it gives a jump start on the two clubs who are playing. Instead of MNF or Friday 6pm, where people are still in transit from work, why not a Sunday night timeslot?
