Re: The A-League Thread Reply #22 – October 18, 2015, 09:26:13 am I don't think the Afl is concerned. They know that the likelihood is that 3/4 of those supporters tune into AFL as it's not an either/or argument and the codes are "on" at different times of the year. Quote Selected

It would probably have shuffled away into obscurity if it hadn't. There was a point where the AFL moved to the ABC for no broadcast money because the offer from ch 7 was so low.I don't think they're worried now because their model is one of shared supporters but they definitely were back then.

Re: The A-League Thread Reply #27 – October 18, 2015, 11:43:36 am Speaking of shared supporters. The club should get with one of the soccer sides and offer an 5/5 game membership (or similar) where you get 5 Carlton games and 5 soccer games packaged together. Split the revenue. Quote Selected
