    A number of clubs, but certainly not all, have chosen to do some form of promoting & marketing because they have finally come to the realisation that a) The senior game is dying and b) the administrative body (FW) certainly won’t do anything other than ask the West to include a paragraph regarding the weekends fixtures. Some might say it’s a little too late.
    The other factor that isn’t in the poll nor mentioned in your article but is certainly a contributing factor in the decline of the league is the fact that the competition has become stale. It has been played out by largely the same teams over and over for decades and making up these teams is largely the same tired old players that have done the rounds season after season after season. Same players, different shirts and you can even extend that to the coaches.
    Punters see this Ashley, they are not blind and it’s something that neither draws their attention let alone gives them the motivation to attend a game.
    The A League is simply a professional version of the various NPLs. It’s afflicted by the same problems and the lack of interest both corporately and by the footballing public has resulted in a notable drop in attendances numbers. Add to that the poor standard of football and it doesn’t paint a bright picture at all.
    Not sure what the answer is mate but if promoting and marketing the same tired old product hasn’t worked for the A League I’m not sure why people would believe it would work at NPL level.
