Re: aussies favourite sport
Not surprised. Since the late sixties, at least, junior soccer clubs have had difficulty finding enough fields for the kids to play matches on. The trouble has been once they hit their mid-teens there was nowhere for them to go. The senior comp. had no support at all. Hope things will change now. Not before time!!

Re: aussies favourite sport
Once soccer gets bigger crowds than AFL, Cricket & Rugby it can quite rightly call itself Australias Fav sport.
Until then they can dream on.

Re: aussies favourite sport
Its odd that you posted this today. On the way to work this morning there was a story on the news on the radio saying that a poll was done and Australians favourite football code was Australian Rules 
They quoted that the outcome of the poll told that 6 in 10 people claim to have an interest in it.....
Will have to see if I cant find that story somewhere.....

So if you ask 1,000 people outside a "soccer" ground, you may just get a different, yet still valid poll result to the same question outside an AFL ground

Re: aussies favourite sport
i disagree. the quality of football in australia is poor, but that doesn't mean you can't prefer the game but watch the premiership (or the scottish premier league, lol).
what you state would be australias favourite spectator sport to watch live at the venue.
