Crowds
NRL > SL
Origin = Huge
Internationals in Aus > UK based internationals
Not even filling the grand final at old trafford or internationals in stadia that are 25k capacity tops over here anymore. |

Given the discrepancy in media exposure and the fact that Australia is one of the few places that the soccer goliath hasn't set up shop yet, I'd argue we don't do too badly compared to our ocker friends.

Soccer is more popular in Oz than you would think.
And the Socceroos beat England 3-1 last time they played each other  |

When you have teams averaging 20,000+ fans every game in the THIRD DIVISION, then you'll start to have a point. |

Apart from Leeds who else does that?
They keep falling at the last hurdle, but they should rise to championship this season.
Leeds are an exception, not the rule. They certainly arent your standard League 1 club. |

The fact that [ianyone[/i does it puts the popularity of soccer into context in this country vs. Australia. |

Proof its popular because it has a website. Amatuer rugby union clubs have websites, but nobody watches them

You didn't grasp the idea did you?
The discussion was about numbers of empty seats in grounds at internationals, not the size of the respective crowds.

Course it would Andy.
I know teams full of football lads who spend their evenings watching the League on sky yet when it comes to doing their chosen form of exercise they're all playing in the Warry sat/sun league soccer.
Simply its an easy game to pick up and simple to play anywhere added to that you dont get hurt for the most part like you do in amateur rugby and there's, for me, the biggest reason why soccer will always be massive.
Probably why leagues big in the TV ratings, plenty find it entertaining, not many fancy playing
