Aleague Survey

Aleague Survey

www.sport-research.com

Please complete, my mate is doing it for his PHD

I stopped at the third section because I don't have time to count the number of games I watched. Wayyy to repetitive though, and some really weird questions in there.

Had to answer undecided for some strangely worded questions.

Having the same format for every question is very boring. There are lots of formats of research questions available, varying it up would result in a much better completion rate (which I suspect will be poor for this survey).

I would agree that it is long and some questions seem repetitive. However, this is needed for rigour testing. Here is some additional information about the survey:

I am a sport researcher at Griffith University, Australia and I am conducting research on the Hyundai A-League.

The aim of the research is to collect unbiased opinions from A-League supporters to examine how fans perceive and connect to their favourite team and the A-League and how the A-League brand influences teams to attract supporters, increase their fan base and strengthen ties to their local community. The findings will be presented in an objective report to FFA to help the league succeed in this highly competitive sport market. Additional, I can provide you with a snapshot about how your team is perceived, how fans connect with your team and how your team compares with other teams in the league.

It would be great to get you behind the project in participating in the survey and also help promote it via facebook and twitter.

I hope to get you behind the data collection as I am sure it will uncover valuable information that can help football succeed in Australia/New Zealand.

I am looking forward to hearing from you. If you have any additional questions please email me at t.kunkel@griffith.edu.au or call at +61 405 137544

Have a great day,

Thilo

Thilo - didn't you do a survey last year for your PhD?

I had reservations about answering if I had participated in a "fantasy" league.

1. Very well by everyone except Diego's Son and the knitting circle.
2. Allegedly at night clubs.
3. About the middle as of last season

There you go- just wrote a chapter for your thesis. No need to thank me.

Hi Junior82,
yes that is right. The survey from last year helped to shape this one. Also, we were presenting the data at a conference in Europe. This survey will probably be the biggest fan survey in the A-League history as most other supporter groups have agreed to participate as well.
The more participants we get, the more influential the results are seen by FFA. So please get behind it and have your say...
Hey, if I decide to go with a ghost-writer, you will be my first choice ;-)

only got a cupla pages in... the set-up and wording is terrible

@ Paulm: Sorry you had a bad experience with the survey. I guess the problem you encountered was that there were two different questions and they can't be changed anymore. Technical problem.

@ everyone who already has participated and/or will participate, here is a quick update: Many other supporter groups have agreed to support the data collection and it is becoming the biggest independent research on the A-League so far. So please make sure to have your say as more respondents means that FFA will listen more carefully...
