Adelaide United and Brisbane Roar are already being propped up by FFA.<br /><br />When Clive Palmer closes three stands at Skilled Stadium to save $100,000 and limits attendance to 5,000, and yet only 2,616 show up, we're in real trouble. He's the guy who has squillions and yet he's quibbling about $100,000. At this rate, he and Gold Coast will be gone come next year.<br /><br />I cannot see any way to increase attendances short of making admission free - or getting some world class players to play in this league.<br /><br />FFA and Lowy went for the money. They sold the rights to the A-League and to the national team to pay TV and the soccer following public can whistle Dixie for all they care.<br /><br />There'd be a revolution in most soccer-loving countries if they couldn't watch their national team on free-to-air.Walternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-31322125301497204872009-11-01T11:01:09.475+11:002009-11-01T11:01:09.475+11:00Walter, what do you think FFA should do to raise c...Walter, what do you think FFA should do to raise crowd numbers?<br /><br />Do you think giving the broadcasting contract to a free-to-air station would help lift the popularity of the league? <br /><br />just a funny coincidence, the word verification below is "calina".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-42539485207433267812009-11-01T10:42:19.136+11:002009-11-01T10:42:19.136+11:00How is our application progressing
