A Few Gems: DG - Gollop GOR - O'Rouke
DG: One of the ways you grow your fanbase is taking on people's loyalty vis a vis other codes - people have to go to a game thinking their team is a chance - I won't go to the AFL or NRL, I'll go to the A-League.

GOR: Scheduling - do you focus on fans, or focus on broadcast numbers? This year, crowds are slightly up. If you schedule a game for 7:00pm Sunday, you might lose 3,000 in the stadium, but you gain 30,000 on the television.

GOR: Sydney FC's crowd numbers are up because they lost their 7:00pm Sunday kickoffs, but their broadcast numbers have gone down.
We want to have people in the stands, and watching on TV, but there are factors and needing to balance.— Football Australia (@FFA) May 2, 2019
GOR: One of the concerns we do have, is that when our game gets written about, it's negative coverage - how come your attendances are down, ratings are down - and in cases, those statements aren't true.

GOR: Wellington Phoenix's Sky Numbers are up 70% because they're in the top six, but people don't talk about that in the papers or on twitter, conversely, because WSW are not in the top six, people have turned off the TV.
