Everybody are talking about A-League, I am a little bit curious to find out what kind of attendances the NSL before A-League had? Is there any kind of a statistical site I can find those numbers?
Not laid out in anything as helpful as a table or chart, but Oz Football Ark has all the reported crowd figures for (every?) NSL game here. Some of those numbers might not be totally accurate, but in most cases they weren't being revised downwards...
Wow the guy really recorded every match since 1977. Thanks mate, Its often really difficult to find such statistics in pre (franchise-) eras, to find anything else besides end tables in Japan is also a nightmare.
Nice find- I like seeing some of the old names like in this round: http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/NSL/20032004/Round26.html
You mean in at all levels? From that round I count North, Thwaite, Carle, Brosque, Kwasnik, McKay, Rose, Wilkinson, Milligan, Fyfe, Bojic, Elrich, Caravella, Galekovic, Lia (god knows why), Murdocca, Leijer, Pantelidis, Reddy, Haliti, Heffernan (?), R. Griffiths playing at a professional level. Just about a decent squad, a little heavy on defenders and getting long in the tooth, but 1/6th of the players listed on that page. Everyone who could get out, did.
So all the old powerhouses in Sydney and Melbourne got stripped of everything......... how badly followed are this in these days in the Premier Leagues? Southern Melbourne was OK followed as I could see from the Ozfootball page.
