The B-League will be close to as big as the A-League when it rolls up, they are going in opposite directions and the crowds will without a doubt be as big as the A-League - bar the A-League finals. Well overdue and a sensible decision to start it in 2025 as opposed to 2024

will be a bit of a concern in the 2nd tier crowds are bigger on average than the 1st tier

That is exactly what the NSL nostalgists on the Aus football forums are predicting, that it will actually eclipse and render the A-League irrelevant. But they're *also* predicting that the exclusion of non-NSW/VIC teams from the starters (which seems to be down mainly to state federations like QLD being fudgewits about things) will ruin everything, so I don't see how both can be true at once

... I just remembered where all this seems familiar, the "ACFC Knitting Circle" people from 10-15 years ago who resented the Nix for taking attention and funding away from Coal Face Dinkum Kiwi Football (funded by a dodgy pokies trust)
