What he is saying mikey is sporting clubs lose money and they need passion and not plastics to lead them.
So give it a season or two and they ll be gone just like the others.

"If the Sydney Roosters come last for the next few seasons, their crowds will drop, and you will see a serious loss in money, resulting in their demise". You could say this about nearly ay Australian sporting team. |

Hardly selling it... more joining forces to make a strong Adelaide partnership within the community. Listen, Adelaide found new sponsors yesterday, and already you are predicting the death of the club. |

Football in Australia gets desperate 8 November Australian football is hoping for good news when FIFA announces the hosts of the 2022 World Cup on December 2. It could certainly do with some, as the struggling domestic league lurches from crisis to crisis. Launched with huge optimism as an eight-team competition six years ago, the Gay Leaguewas billed as the final chance for football to break out of its ethnic ghettoes and minority status, and occupy the mainstream of Australian sport. But all the hopeful signs of its first few years are turning to flashing lights and deafening alarm bells as crowds slump, financial doom threatens several clubs and expansion falters. It's hard to say which of its problem children is likely to give the FFA the most grief in the long term, but the school has been on the phone constantly and police have been at the door in the middle of the night more than a few times. Last month Newcastle Jets seemed ready to go under before they were rescued by Australia's richest fat lad, Nathan Tinkler. He made his money in the booming mining industry, reportedly more than $600million (£376m) in just four years, has spent a lot of it on horse racing and comes across as a foul-mouthed, arrogant bully. Such is the desperation in one of Australia's oldest football strongholds. Things are little better further north on the Gold Coast, where another smug, confrontational mining magnate, Clive Palmer, has overseen a shambolic expansion club, constantly at war with the federation. Crowds hovered around 5,000 in Gold Coast United's first season, as Palmer frequently closed three sides of the ground to save money. The club has survived several near-death experiences, but with barely 3,000 showing up this year, football is losing the battle with other codes for one of the most hotly contested patches of turf in the country. Crowds are down everywhere, most worryingly in Sydney, where the defending champions have won just one of their first 12 games watched by an average of 8,000, half what they were attracting two years ago. Brisbane have suffered a similar drop, while Melbourne Victory, now challenged by an ill-advised expansion club in the same city, have failed to sustain astonishing averages of 20,000-plus in the past four seasons. A bizarre calendar has not helped. The league has finally admitted what seemed obvious to many, that it was futile to start its season just as the other codes reached their finale in September – that will change next year. But one team is idle each week because there are an odd number in the competition. Add international dates, uncertainty over venues and favoured days of the week, plus plain incomprehensible scheduling, and you can understand why some fans simply can't be bothered to keep up. Central Coast have no games at their Gosford stadium between October 2 and November 21, then three in 13 days. The exciting news, some would say, is that David Beckham and LA Galaxy are coming for a friendly against Newcastle this month. But if a meaningless game involving a washed-up celebrity is still a big deal, that's a sure sign the domestic game hasn't grown up enough to stand on its own feet.

Mikey,
How many AFL, NRL teams have changed hands like the Gay Leagueteams or are being propped up by the governing body? May be 1 or 2 like Cronulla and Newcastle who have no money.
I think you would have to be blind not to see that the novelty of the Gay Leaguehas worn off. You can no longer blame the ethnic based teams for the current poor state of the competition. They basically kicked out Olympic, Marconi, Sydney Utd, Northern Spirit and Parramatta and replaced them with HAKOA. Now lets see who that has succeeded in terms of bringing more people to the game. Being conservative, Olympic would average 4,000 at home, Sydney Utd, 4,000, Marconi 3,000, Spirit 1,000 and Parramatta 1,000. That's 13,000. Which is what HAKOA basically averages. So lets get rid of 5 teams and create 1 but have the same number of people going to watch the game and get rid of local derbies and the passion that they bring because some marketing genius thought that if we get rid of the ethnic based teams then the Anglo's will come to the game. And to make matters even worse, I bet some of the people that go to watch HAKOA are ex Olympic, Marconi, Sydney Utd, Northern Spirit and Parramatta supporters so in fact, less new people have been attracted to the game.
Football might be the biggest participation sport at junior level but does not rate at senior level. AFL and league succeed because whether you like the sport or not, it is the best level you will find in the world (although it is hardly played anywhere else). Footballs problem is that you can just switch on the TV at any time basically and watch the best from Europe. People say why pay to watch the local rubbish when I can sit on my lounge at watch the best.
You can't just get rid of a team, create a new team and tell people please come and follow the new team. Try doing that in Europe or South America and they will burn the country down.

I am being conservative to make a point. And in the last couple of years it would not have been too much higher.

They are pretty much setting the clubs up like Olympiakos, Panathinaikos, Real Madrid, Barcelona etc....all these clubs are multi code and are successful. |
