A recent "state-of-the-game" summary delivered by Frank Lowy and John O'Neill of Football Federation Australia shed some light on what looks like positive numbers for Oz's Hyundai A-League.
Geoff at Asian Football Business Review, a favorite of mine, posted the following summary highlights from the league's first season:
- Total crowd attendance for the first season of the league is on track to top one million with average attendances likely to be in the order of 11,000-12,000;
- FoxSports reports that A-League average broadcast audiences are comparable with Rugby Super 12, despite the Rugby competition's relatively long history;
- The A-League's family of websites in October 2005 received more than 850,000 unique visits. This compares with AFL number which were 961,000 in September - the peak month of the AFL season.
Maybe the bright minds at MLS could learn a thing or two.
