Will go back and update the last round latter however the GF like wow..

 I have copied it from 442.. http://au.fourfourtwo.com/forums/default.aspx?g=posts&t=86368&p=49

Scroll down until you see a poster called WC20182022 as the post has a number of links 

But two key figures from it …. Fox’s peaked @ 524, 000 a total of 772, 000 watched the game for at least five minutes on SBS or taking the peaks 1,296, 000 … like wow …

The average for both is Fox 334 K SBS 358 K … 692 K

Read what you want but a peak audience of 1, 296, 000 or close to 1.3 million is a number you would have been placed in jail for if you had said it a few years ago ..

To the 442 post…

Fox Sports chief executive officer, Patrick Delany, said: “An amazing tribute to the A-League – two skilful and passionate teams that performed well fight up until the last minute,spurred on by extraordinary fan support at the magical Suncorp Stadium – sports gold.

“These ratings for the grand final on subscription TV indicate that the A-League is

coming of age as a major force in the Australian sports calendar.”

The final also delivered SBS 2 its biggest audience since the relaunch of the channel 13 months ago.

An average combined metro and regional audience of 358,000 watched the game on SBS 2 via a delayed coverage.

It was the first time an A-League grand final had been shown on free-to-air television.

Overall, 772,000 watched SBS 2’s coverage based on “five-minute consecutive reach viewing”.

“It has always been our mission to grow the game and with the A-League grand final broadcast on free-to-air TV for the first time, the impact has been significant,” SBS head of sport Ken Shipp said.

BRISBANE Roar’s epic 2-1 A-League grand final win over Western Sydney Wanderers has delivered record ratings for Fox Sports and SBS 2.

Sunday’s match at Suncorp Stadium was the most-watched A-League game on Fox Sports ever.

Now here's a TV audience figure to consider: 170,000,000. Expected international viewing audience for next year's Under-20 World Cup (see www.stuff.co.nz - Wynton brings Cup to Waitangi). Hope Sky/Fox/TVNZ/Sommet do justice. Not to mention our commentary team.

The ADP effect:

not really fair for us (it was the first game of the season and the crowd's always bigger for that, but he probably made some difference). But interesting nonetheless....

Kudos to CCM for boycotting ADP
