Soccer is more popular in Oz than you would think.

Proof its popular because it has a website. Amatuer rugby union clubs have websites, but nobody watches them |

Crowds
NRL > SL
Origin = Huge
Internationals in Aus > UK based internationals
Not even filling the grand final at old trafford or internationals in stadia that are 25k capacity tops over here anymore.'"
You didn't grasp the idea did you?
The discussion was about numbers of empty seats in grounds at internationals, not the size of the respective crowds. |

Soccer is practically on its death bed in aussie - yeah promising starts and gates of 10-15k when there was the initial hype and interest, but now the games been found out for what it is and the hypes gone the game is on its @r5e just like ice hocky and basketball are here after promising starts.
Soccer is not a good enough game to survive without hype.....if it lost the media attention and hype in this country it would no doubt die as well as the product just isnt interesting enough.....aussie at least have had the sence to see it for what it is after a few years of hype....sadly however that is never going to happen in the uk  |

Course it would Andy.
I know teams full of football lads who spend their evenings watching the League on sky yet when it comes to doing their chosen form of exercise they're all playing in the Warry sat/sun league soccer.
Simply its an easy game to pick up and simple to play anywhere added to that you dont get hurt for the most part like you do in amateur rugby and there's, for me, the biggest reason why soccer will always be massive.
Probably why leagues big in the TV ratings, plenty find it entertaining, not many fancy playing

The simplicity of wendyball is what makes it popular in the first place, then the media go ga-ga over disreputable dummies like Dwayne Looney and it sounds glamorous, then you can get paid £5k a week for being mediocre at best. Not going to be easy to dislodge is soccer, depite the fact, clear to the more intellifgent among us, that it's corrupt and crap. |

I find it strange that Huddersfield Town were playing at home tonight.
The pitch should be "fun" if they've had the weather in Huddersfield that we have had here.

I remember a few years ago and against NZ we just didn't get the attendances, now we're gonna be moaning at 20k!
The WC win did more for rugby league than NZ itself really imo, you'll see more than 25k this time at the final too

Also add Millwall and MK Dons as they also both average over 10K, Doubt there is more than 5 football teams in Australia who average over 10K.
As for the crowd for England v New Zealand should be over 22k but im only bothered about England winning not bothered how many will turn up TBH |

If it's any consolation, it's not just us that's having problems. Tickets are available from the Millenium Stadium this morning for Wales - New Zealand, a fixture that normally sells out well before the day. Perhaps it's the economy that's the problem.

Not a bad effort.
I'm in the upper tier of the 2 tiered stand behind the posts so i'm hoping there will be a few in there to create abit of atmosphere.

That's where we are. Went to Redhall to get tickets on Monday and the person on the desk took a while to find 3 seats in a row in that stand. |
