I have a fair bit to do with a local football association *whistles* and we've got close to 200 senior teams and over 3,000 senior players. And we're one of the smallest of the *15* associations in Sydney.

Yet amazingly the A-League still gets flogged by Spongebob Squarepants on Foxtel.

A lot more people watch now than ten years ago.

All that too.

See, we're not making claims that football is the number one sport in Australia or even that it's bigger than SpongeBob, just that the national league's public profile and reach is growing over time, and recent history backs that up with verifiable statistics.

Lay off Spongebob.

You clearly haven't read many of Les Murray or Craig Foster's columns recently.

Poor Les is befuddled that the A-League isn't getting anywhere near the media coverage as the cricket.

Les and Fozzie are sorely in need of a clue.

In keeping with the positive theme of the thread, i'm pleased to report that the Melbourne Victory managed to outrate Spongebob by 1,000 viewers last night.

Sadly Coronation Street and Eastenders dealt them a massive ass whooping.

Sorry I can only get my head around these numbers when expressed as a multiple of Olympic size swimming pools.

I really am surprised how much attention this article has had...

Where do you get comprehensive TV ratings figures from? Serious question.

They're not really comprehensive, but throng.com.au publishes the top 20 shows every day from free to air, digital multichannels and pay TV.

Ta. I think TV Tonight does the same.

I feel like TV Tonight, like TV Tonight

I think the FFA would have outdone those numbers last night. Having a match kick off at 10pm on Monday when 90% of your would-be audience is thinking of bed must rank up there with some of their dumbest ideas
