2006 // Crowd Watch

I'd expect the football to get 20k minimum. Blockbuster clash at the Telstra Dome? It'll pull some of the hype noobs that would normally go to Storm games.

Blockbuster clash at the Telstra Dome?

LMAO!:lol: Blockbuster in terms of what.....it sure as heck won't be scoring!:lol:

One thing soccer, aint football! Secondly how on earth with the last round of the AFL season and the last Storm game should they get any more than 15K Max. The public opinion in Melbourne is that AFL is the sport they love, they will always go and watch that before anything. NRL is their second sport as evidenced by their crowd numbers this year. I am not expecting the soccer to get any more than 15 K.

Firstly soccer has the only real claim to the name football

Saying that league is more popular then soccer in Melbourne is pretty damn crazy... Recent international friendly packs out the MCG and we all saw the thousands in the wee hours at fed square...

Perhaps the Storm might be more popular then the Victory (which i doubt), but i wouldnt say league is more popular then soccer...

Scoring doesnt make a game more entertaining... Look at AFL, they're is only so much scoring cause you can kick a goal at posts that are so friggen wide that Queen Latifa could fit her ghetto booty in their with room to spare... Not to mention you can kick it as high as you want, no offside, no penalties or major disadvantage for poor ball handling

That is a INTERNATIONAL! F..k if you don't sell out a stadium for a international then the sport is really struggling. Especially a month after the world cup. League has got a % increase this year on fans in Melbourne and will continue for many years. Both soccer and league which is a heck more interesting have basically the same crowd numbers. In the coming years I expect soccer to fall and legue to gain a even bigger share of the fans.

Thats a matter of opinion. I hate sports that are 0-0 draws half the time!:lol:

What mate? Look, honestly we'll have to agree to disagree on this topic. I HATE soccer full stop. Anything to do with soccer just bores me. Lets just agree to disagree ok.

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

tbh ur wrong on this one locky. soccer is a great game, but the a-league is sh*t. i cant stress that enough, sooner or later the standard will either improve, or the bandwagon element will kick in.

 

[Dr Crane]

I prefer the A-League. f**k the uncompetitive Premiership or the blurry Italian games.

locky is a dick

I watch one or two soccer games per year and they are ALWAYS the Champions League as at least vaguely you MIGHT see some good goals. However it rarely happens. I find that the chance of watching a quality soccer game is like 1 or 2 in 10 at the most. For a good soccer game there needs to be a minimum of 3 or 4 goals!

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

seriously mate, stop while you're ahead, or atleast not that far behind.

Yes it was an international, and it was before the World Cup...

If you want to compare apples, lets have a look how many people turn up for the tri-nations?

No it Doesn't...

...Remember that Flogball was the first football code to codify a rules set...unfortunately.

But yes, continue the idiot bashing.

 

[*Paul*]

The Cambridge rules date from 1848. Plus these rules were trying to standardise different types of football already being played, whereas Australian Rules didn't have a game to make rules on, the rules created the game.
