Maybe the way of future Media

[midfielder]

Guys the links below is a post I put in a online newspaper, plus a couple of other football related stories.

This kinda of site is not everybodys taste, but I took prems post of Attendances and wrote a post to it and what it meant (after updating A-League figures) (PS Prim you got the NRL figures wrong, according to some posters).

There are about 26 replies of which about 6 are mine.

This site is the new type of sports reporting, most posts are well written and considered. This particular site a few months back was the domain of rugby union people going on about rugby. Slowly people from other codes are joining in.

I have read reports that these new sports sites will be the way of the future and  essentially this is one of the new sports sites maybe it will grow but this is the way of the future media. The advantage football is said to have over other codes is we are more net savvy, further income from the net will be the main driver of funding of sports in a few years. So this is chance for football supporters to create stories and create our own media. 

I invite anyone to read and comment on my article and if you do remember to click the button at the end of my table and comment if you wish.

Just a final warning this is not like a football forum and I think could appeal to posters who post fairly long and researched articles. My guess is bear will hate it and soccersensei may like it, will take a bit to read.

Comment if you read some of the articles on what you think. (PS I already know the web page is a bit crap whoever is behind this is trying to build it better)

The A-League is booming, even if its only on Fox Sport. Australias favourite national team, the Socceroos, are about to start their World Cup Qualification campaign, a campaign which can only be seen on Fox. Of course for the game to grow we need free-to-air coverage, but I for one hope we never get it. Ever!

So if a successful A-League means football coverage moves to Free-To-Air, lets hope we dont grow any further!

You called this a great post Mid? The thread would be better named "lets cut off our nose to spit our face".

That site is still about a peeing contest with little sensible comment on the thread subject without being lost in the "us against them" self desruct mode best left for schoolyards.
