With the Super Rugby & NRL starting ratings not great but at least we are on the map this year: from a media watch feed

In a way shows why we have to play in summer .... also if in Super R SA ever go and play in Europe instead of the Tri Nations, opening up an Australian V NZ 10 team competition what could be.

Friday:
Newcastle v Perth 44k

Saturday:
Sydney v CCM 59k
Roar v MV 59k

The NRL had strong opening ratings for Paytv the 2 games 272k and 304k compared to last year 270k and 198k.

Rugby got 118k, Brum v Warriors

The A- League will average 70 to 75 K and receive 40 million…. With less games shorter game length and less stoppages in play… Meaning it’s the FTA bit that football needs to increase its value.

Must be read in the sense of we are up against all other codes in season as well as cricket ... BUT we held our own ...

Rugby and cricket will be shitting themselves and when we get FTA next season, we should do both of them for viewers

 

[dibo]

For our own crowds, consider next season's breakdown:

We probably won't be playing the following clubs twice at home:
Perth
Brisbane
Adelaide
Heart

We typically get rubbish crowds against Perth, Adelaide and Heart. Brisbane have sent a few in recent seasons.

We probably won't be playing the following clubs twice away:
Wanderers
Sydney
Newcastle
Wellington
Victory

The first three will draw big away turnouts, Wellington have nothing much and Victory travel here better than we travel to Sydney these days.

Our average will be *at worst* very close to 10k this year, we might be 2k higher next year just because of who's coming to town.

Add to this FTA (which in areas like the CC where I'd be surprised if PayTV density is near what it is in Sydney, for availability reasons as much as economic) then we're really cooking.

Fantastic ratings on SBS for AUS v OMA.

SBS1: AUSvOMA
* 5 city = 306k
* National = 419k
* Total reach = more than 1 million

FoxSports = 186k

Difficult but ....

a) OzTAM national ratings of 250-300k
b) Real national ratings, which eliminates the low OzTAM meters in SBS households (based on Roy Morgan Research) of 500-600k

Other matches... I have looked up ... as I posted elsewhere just back from Byron...

Wellington v Melbourne - 45k
PG v REDS : 90k
CCM v MH : 47k
NEWC V W SYD 71K

On Good Friday to compare..


LIVE: NRL BULLDOGS V RABBITOHS 305,000

LIVE: SUPER RUGBY: HIGHLANDERS V REDS 131,000

Just as an aside...tis an interesting link to stadiums across Australia and shows crowds total numbers etc..http://www.austadiums.com/sport/crowds.php
Its run by the AFL [i think] as they have no Socceroo , RU tests or RL SOO & Test matches ... but what is interesting before the finals and with only eight seasons football has 11,039,033 + the finals to come plus say another 1.6 million over eight years for the socceroos with football easily getting more bums on seats than cricket combined... Test matches 5,148,080, ODI 2,441,803, Domestic OD 592,435 & 20 20 2,072,878 ... meaning ... 10, 255, 196 over 10 years ... OK OK the cricket average is high more than double but Football can still draw huge numbers..

Great article on the Roar today...

http://www.theroar.com.au/2013/04/03/record-a-league-crowds-and-tv-numbers-but-job-not-done-yet/


The A-League has set a new all-time season attendance record, as well as scoring its highest average attendance since 2007-2008, off the back of the entrance of the Western Sydney Wanderers and the marvelous marquee troika.
According to figures released by Football Federation Australia today, in the 2012-2013 season attendances shot up 18%, to a season total of 1.666 million, while the average regular season crowd number of 12,388 has only been beaten in the 2006-2007 (12,911) and 2007-2008 (14,610) seasons.
TV audiences have also increased – to close to 80,000 viewers per game, also an all-time record, while the cumulative TV audience passed 10 million for the first time.
These are good signs for the fledgling competition, particularly after the up and down experience it has endured over its nine-year history.
The increases have to be put down to the arrival of the Wanderers and the shot in the arm provided by Alessandro Del Piero, Emile Heskey and Shinji Ono.
Apart from energising a long marginalized football region, the Wanderers have been Australian sport’s cinderella story over the past 8-12 months.
Before the eventual flowing football and premiership win, the fanatical support has been staggering.
The Wanderers even received a crowd of nearly 4000 to a pre-season trial against lowly Nepean FC back in July 2012.
It has grown and grown from there, with a packed and pumping Parramatta Stadium every week a sight to behold.
The wider impact of Del Piero, Heskey and Ono cannot be underestimated.
Apart from their performances on the field, which have been stellar and attracted bigger crowds and many of those who had never been to A-League game before, the trio generated talkability, merchandise sales, increased media attention and even global interest. These three stars have helped put the A-League on the world map, as well as the local one, and it couldn’t haven’t happened at a more critical time.
According to these figures- Del Piero has helped boost Sydney FC’s average crowd attendance by nearly 7000, up to 18,633, the highest average the Sky Blues have ever had.
Heskey, who has re-signed for the 2013/24 A-League season, added another 1200 people for the Jets, pushing them to 13,389, also the highest the club has ever had.
But the injection provided by the marquees was not just felt by the clubs fielding them, but by their opponents and at stadiums across the country.
Adelaide United’s average crowd this season compared with 2011-2012 went up 1000, the Mariners were up 400 and Melbourne Victory 4000. Brisbane Roar and Perth Glory also had slight increases, but average attendances were just down in Wellington and for the Heart.
These last two clubs are proof that while the A-League is on a high, there is still much work to be done.
Financial stability for all the clubs remains a huge issue. Most lose millions every year. The Mariners teeter on survival every 12 months. The Wanderers are owned by FFA, which is a conflict of interest.
FFA needs to continue to partner with the A-League clubs to ensure the competition can become profitable so the clubs can start to break even, and eventually, be profitable.
The rise in crowds and interest must be built up, not neglected like after the first three years of the A-League, so that the competition continues to grow and prosper.
The FFA is doing a good job with its digital channels and with engagement through platforms such as Twitter. This must continue.
The deal to have a live Friday night game every round on SBS, as well as delayed finals and Socceroo matches, is another massive important step forward.
While ratings on Fox Sports have grown this season, they are still dwarfed by the NRL and AFL. For example, last weekend’s pay TV ratings show that football still has a long way to go. According to these numbers – the only football game to score in the top ten sporting broadcasts of the week was the Socceroos vs Oman match, which received 187,000 viewers.
This was beaten by five NRL games and three AFL matches, with no A-League game being watched by more than 170,000 people. The top rating sport broadcast of the week was the Sharks vs the Dragons with 343,000 viewers.
Live free-to-air coverage is completely vital for the A-League’s growth.
Pay TV reaches a limited audience and without a sound free-to-air component, there is a glass ceiling. You only need to look at rugby union to see that.
Still, season 2012-2013 has been one of success and celebration, and those at FFA headquarters can afford a smile today.
Recent figures by IBISWorld – confirm that football in this country is on the up.
The A-League is currently ahead of rugby union in terms of the amount of revenue in generates (including ticket sales, sponsorships, TV rights and merchandise), $95.2 million compared with $70.1 million, but the world game is still behind Cricket Australia and Tennis Australia.
Critically though, comparing figures from 1995-96 to 2011-12, football is growing. It is now third highest in terms of unique spectators, behind Aussie Rules and Rugby League, but ahead of cricket, rugby union and tennis.
The signs are promising. Let the good times roll.

A-League grand final tops pay TV ratings

http://www.news.com.au/sport/footba...s-pay-tv-ratings/story-fndkzvnd-1226626180108
THE most successful season in A-League history was capped off with a record TV audience for Sunday's grand final.
Some 297,000 people tuned in to watch Western Sydney and Central Coast, while 42,102 people attended the match at Allianz Stadium.
Wanderers coach Tony Popovic believes the sport has now earned the respect of other codes in Australia.
"We've certainly arrived and I'm sure they're looking over their shoulders to see what we're doing and why we've improved so much," Popovic said yesterday.
"But we've all got a part to play, all codes can fit in. There is room for everyone and it's nice we're creating our own space and interest.
"I think on the field the game has improved. I think it's a better spectacle, the quality of football is better. And I think off the field the way the clubs are run is improving, the fan base is improving."

The 2012-13 season broke all sorts of records:
IT was the highest-rating A-League season with an average audience of 81,000. The previous best was 70,000 in 2007-08;
AVERAGE audiences were up 23 per cent from last season;
GAMES were watched by more than 2.8 million viewers;
IT had the highest-rating regular-season game ever - the 164,000 who watched the round-two clash between Sydney FC and Newcastle);
IT had the three highest-rating rounds in A-League history - 109,000 (rd 1), 105,000 (rd 2) and 103,000 (rd 5).
Football Federation Australia boss David Gallop said the sport had plenty of growth left.
"The TV audience was up 39 per cent from last year, so that's encouraging," he said.
"We are entering new media arrangements next year, where we will be covered by free-to-air and pay-television. That's an enormous growth opportunity, not only because nearly 100 per cent of households have free-to-air television, but it will also be a subscription drive for pay-television."
Fox Sports chief executive Patrick Delany said the 296,000 audience was the icing on a breakthrough season.
"We are delighted," Delany said. "It was up against the AFL and NRL and it was a very good number, as was the entire season.
"The final was fabulous and the ratings number was one thing. But for the ground to be near capacity with the two sets of fans creating that atmosphere was another."
Sydney continues to bask in the glow of the Wanderers' remarkable season and today Parramatta City Council hosts a street parade in their honour.
The club's Red and Black Bloc fan group will feature, joining the 12.30pm celebratory parade from the Parramatta CBD to Prince Alfred Park.Popovic believes the RBB has raised the bar when it comes to supporting its club and attending games.
"A new club has come in and our fans have played a huge part in elevating interest," Popovic said.
"Hopefully we'll just get bigger and better and I think all clubs will hopefully be stronger and their fan base will try and rival ours."

129 out of 135 H&A matches - only missing 6 matches. So, these results should be close to accurate.
