Fox trying to be like their US counterparts, razzmatazz etc at American football (Gridiron)

Na it's not American Football they are trying to copy, it's the Big Bash cricket that is doing well in Aust

Ripped off by cricket from American sport.

Ticket prices for the Big Bash are the biggest driver for the crowds, that coupled with the fact that you can genuinely see the worlds best cricketers at the games. Something the A League can't replicate.

Yes but it’s also very family and kid friendly. They have also targeted females - who to be fair are not often cricket fans. The music, dancers, players with mics, and other “entertainment” gimmicks are all part of the 3 hour package.

Not my cup of chai - but the crowd numbers show that it works.

TV in Aussie has always been targeting women, The commentary team used to comment on it when the cameras were zoomed in on some female in a bikini in between deliveries.

Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

The Ruf, The Ruf, The Ruf is on Fire!!

O'Rouke spoke to Simon Hill on the Fox sports podcast, he speaks about the music idea (and throws the media under the bus for reporting it), policing, safe smoke & mentions every club will have a 'fan zone'.
