Re: The Europa League: straggling in the Champions League’s shadows?

Atletico Madrid will play for it's second europa league title, and Bilbao for the first, and for sure spain will win its 7th title.

Aslo after the previous edition, Radamel Falcao became the europa league's best scorer in one season with 17 goal, and the 9th of all time scorers. He can go up and become the 8th, or maybe the 7th or even the 6th is he scores 3 goals today.

See your Mp and report to the Exuctive Office via Ms Prue Goward Minister for families and communities they are bullies and liars and need to be held accountable. Unless you speak loudly this sadly is sadly a possible reality due to the slack uncaring lazy bunch of wackers.....................................

I have been on the transfer list with Dept of Housing for nearly a year. My reason for transfer is due to medical reasons and have been told by 2 separate Dept of Housing workers that I will more than likely die of old age before I receive my transfer - thats a comforting thought. I am 54 years old.

Abhorrent images. Well done for bringing this to light.
In Australia, we are priviledged to be prevented from viewing images of charred remains. That fact makes these images even more stunning an sickening to see.

Thanks,

Hi. We visited Amici's Southbank on Easter Saturday and were hit with a 15% surcharge - still have the receipt to prove it.

Glass Dome Cafe, Budgewoi, charges a 10% surcharge on Sundays & Public Holidays and says their Accountant tells them they can do that!! In fact, their Manager, got defensive saying it was their right to do so! Will be spreading the word and avoiding it in the future!!!

Re: Giving a voice to the Voiceless

Determined — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 00:59:29 -0000

I find it disturbing, but not surprising, that an Exec. Director of the Cattle Council would refer to Voiceless as being "the more extreme end" with its views on animal rights. In fact, from what I have read from bodies supporting live export is that there is nothing beyond a token gesture of mouthing support for improvement in animal welfare. Any move to improve animal welfare that threatens their ability to make maximum dollars is considered ëxtreme." I think the Cattle Council should appoint a Director called Dr. Faustus.

Re: GWS set to have a Giant impact on Sydney’s West

Matt — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 22:36:48 -0000

Bugger I forgot to mention the 21500 sold out crowd in Cronulla on Saturday night. The first time Shark Park has been sold out in 8 years. They musn't be doing anything right down there. You can't use the excuse that Swans crowds have dropped due to wet weather, when the same would apply to all sports in Sydney. By that reasoning I could say this NRL season would have the highest gate takings of any year if it wasn't for the heavy rain in round 1. For the record actually if Manly vs Penrith gets over 16000 tonight (heading towards a sell out) then the crowd aggregate after six rounds goes past last year's nunbers.

You don't seem to comment on any of the other points I made in the comment, instead all you seem to do is take potshots at the NRL. How exactly do your statistics prove that "the NRL are not committed in increasing its attendance where as the AFL are?" That is an amazingly general comment if I've ever heard one. Last week the NRL passed the 200,000 member mark through huge membership drives, so far this round we've seen crowds of 35,000 at Homebush, 25,000 in Newcastle and 18,000 at Allianz Stadium.

"Unlike the NRL who are too busy bickering with each other causing a divided front." I'm sorry but would you care to elaborate? I agree with you that GWS is a work in progress, but so are Gold Coast and look at their crowd for round 1 last weekend after a full season in the AFL. Sydney is a tough market to crack, and will the fans remain when the team is going to be beaten by 100 points each week for the next 2-3 seasons?

It remains to be seen whether they'll get the crowds, but they AFL/Giants have scheduled well:

* Only 1 game in Blacktown and it's next Sunday at 1pm v West Coast Eagles ... doesn't get too cold mid-April.

* Of the 2 remaining night games - one is v Essendon (usually a big draw in Sydney) and the other is the Swans home game.

Re: GWS set to have a Giant impact on Sydney’s West

Caitlin — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 03:13:22 -0000

Sorry Matt but Daniel McBride's statistics are correct. In 2011 Sydney Swans average 26, 615 while in the same year Panthers- 12,477 , eels 15,006 and tigers 17,852. You are correct in that attendance for the swans has decreased however this is due to the weather with many games being washed out. These statistics indicate that the NRL are not committed in increasing its attendance where as the AFL are. The AFL are smart enough to recognise that GWS is a work in progress and are looking toward the future unlike the NRL who are too busy bickering with each other causing a divided front. Everyone knows that war requires both strategic planning and money. NRL don't have either of these things.

Thank you for this article. It puts things into perspective, about how privileged we are living in Australia - and that we should stop complaining sometimes!

Re: GWS set to have a Giant impact on Sydney’s West

Matt — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 20:19:33 -0000

The statistics you use aren't reliable. You talk about the average being 38000 but how much is it when you take out the Melbourne mad crowds? Brisbane, Port and even Sydney's crowds are down in recent years. Not sure how a high crowd average for the league justifies that GWS will succeed in the market. Only yesterday 1 NRL team from western Sydney had a crowd of 22000 against a team from outside Sydney. There was a crowd of 38000 on Saturday for GWS, and with all the hype and build up is that a pass? Most of the members are from Canberra, how will the crowd be oons cold Saturday night against Melbourne in Blacktown?
