Sydney to host the Grand Final next 3 years

[Ben10]

Totally agree. Maybe Shaun should be APL CEO. He is also a good bloke but also competent

100%. When he leaves CCM I hope he's given the keys to rebuilding the league, he's done exceptionally well with us

Even if that’s the case, if as marinermick said, they run the atmosphere after the 23rd minute and it significantly impacts the on field play, I still see that as basically betraying the team and yourself if you care about the results of the team.

You're as short sighted and selfish as the APL and The Cove.

Imagine wanting the league to be better run at the cost of something the APL board can't buy their way out of. Our most effective weapon is silence, and we only use it when we need to.
If you can't understand that, then there's no convincing you.

I talk to club staff and players on a pretty regular basis. They know this isn’t about them, and totally understand and appreciate the bigger picture at play here. Shaun says as much on the latest podcast episode which has just dropped.
They know they’re not being walked out on; this is all directed at the APL, with whom the players and staff are just as frustrated as us.

This doesn’t come as a surprise, I’m sure the vast majority (if not all) players will understand the protest isn’t directed at them this weekend.

You're missing the big picture buddy. The integrity of this league is more important than one footballing result. I'm glad to be walking out on Saturday because the APL truly believe they can do what they want and disregard any fan opinion. It's all about money for them. Football doesn't exist and those APL suits don't have a job without the fans. Show them a visual of what it's like without fans they think they can take advantage of. Also am looking forward to the Melbourne Derby. That'll be a true F U to them all.

If the APL could show where the $140 million investment by Silver Lake went, then maybe we would have a better understanding of what they are faced with.

Apparently it's set aside for "infrastructure investment to grow the game"
Whatever that means

They probably invested them in Tesla shares 2 months ago.

$30 million on the “Keep Up” app, not only impossible to fathom price wise, but quite possibly the stupidest name ever.

I very much doubt that’s just on the app or the website it would be content and a whole heap of stuff around the platform over an extended period.

May the ball be booted out at the appropriate moment over the sauce bottles and into our glorious harbour.

Now it’s getting spicy

Broadcast budget hole prompted A-League’s $12m grand final firesale

As the backlash to the APL’s deal to hold grand finals in Sydney until 2025 continues, A-League clubs have begun pointing to “commercial realities” as the primary reason why the deciders had to be sold.

t.co

Funding shortfall because the APL didn’t hit P+ subscription targets. Nevermind that they have done one of the poorest app roll outs I’ve seen and done themselves zero favours with fans.

Next it'll come out the money from the gov will be dependent on GF attendance numbers...

I don't know why the APL feels the need to lie and try to spin everything, people see right through it.

What a shitshow. Townsend needs to go. P+ need a kick up the ass, their product is still dogshit.
