There are more African, Asian and Islander Aussies at the basketball than there are at the AFL or NRL mate...

Basketball is NOT our enemy.

Maybe ...... but I believe the people in the levers of power still have the mindset of the 1990's, when Basketball was considered the ideological antithesis of wogball. It is ingrained

I thought 1990s basketball in Australia was considered an extension of NBA Jam and the Michael Jordan Chicago Bulls unsold memorabilia clearing house...

Basically you need a good VPN to change your location. Then there are a bunch of options for IPTV streams. With the A-League you can watch on YouTube for free from a bunch of different countries. I used to do it back when the A-League was on Fox/Kayo. From memory i'd change location to Japan, but I could be wrong.

That is NOT what i am talking about though.
 
My advice to anyone wishing to be able to watch every A-League game is get a Paramount+ subscription.

For the sake of $12 per month you'll be adding to the number of people who watch the A-League through this medium

Paramount will know through their session tracking software that you're watching and using their platform predominantly for the A-League....

This will encourage them to keep their ways in terms of providing football content.

If everyone in Australia is using work around methods to watch the A-League rather than subsribing, then Paramount and anyone else won't be able to continue as the league's broadcaster!

Supporting the A-League through legitimate subscriptions is one of the most direct ways fans can influence its future viability on streaming platforms.....

If viewership metrics (and revenue) look weak because too many people use these VPNs, illegal streams, or other dodges, it weakens the case for big investments in Australian football broadcasting.

To be honest I was more interested in the work around for the other leagues around the world. I don't mind the paramount at all, like you said, happy to pay for that - it's the European nonsense that I'd love to dodgely get!

Paramount is OK for what it is.. comes on when the Roudn of 32 starts for Australian cup and gets turned off 10 mins after the Grand Final.

thanks mate but my subscription is mostly for other product and got to say.
When this FA AGM occurs Thursday and goes the way its predicted I won't ever watch 1 apl game ever again not that I watch many, infact the GF was the first in many moons.
Obviously I won't be missed but many grass roots and up to NPL local footballing players/supporters/volenteers need to walk the walk - and do the same stand for the sake of the game period.
Why give anything to a product that is hurting the heart and soul of our struggling game.
My point could be premature but I'm armed and ready for the worst.

I have no pity for the federations or the NPL sides, They have been ripping Juniors off for so many years with the most expensive fees then any other sport in Australia. Crash and burn i say but they wont because their loaded with $$$. Yet the FA is broke and the APL on dole cheques.
 
thats the spirit - burn the grass roots and future gens development stages to get somewhere.
Great mindset.
The apl are worst rip off cancer of the lot of them.
The npl loaded haha as if.

I rarely if ever agree with you on anything but I completely agree with you on this one.

NPL clubs & state federations have been ripping off juniors and families for years, if said NPL clubs died I could not care less.

I learnt about why npl junior fees are so expensive by comparing a budget at a club in australia and a club in england
Kit, refs etc is 500 per kid both here and england. This cost is the same.

Now for the differences:

333 per kid goes towards license and rego.

Ground hire is roughly 500 a year per kid which english kids dont pay because the fa buys fields for clubs

Then the main cost is for technical directors and youth coaches which get wages in australia but not in england at the same level. The reason they are paid here is there are minimum qualifications for a coach and technical directors in australia whereas england have no minimum requirements. For the clubs I looked at the club i looked at it are 1300 a year per kid to cover technical directors and coaches

So thats 2133 per kid differences in costs. This was in the 2nd tier of the npl, coaches in npl can cost more driving prices up

lowering junior fees would require deregulation, removing liscencing costs and funding infrastructure. Just 1 percent of fas budget goes to grassroots investment compared to 30 percent in england
 
So when did Centrelink stop issuing these "dole cheques".we keep hearing about?

Early 2000's perhaps??

I don't know because I've never actually claimed the "dole"....

What's the FA and APL gonna do if they don't get their fortnightly "dole cheque" in the mailbox???

Your comments are redundant, compare fees from NRL and AFL as well as cricket for Juniors. They both have to cover the same thing but are miles cheaper.

The main extra expenses come from coaches and tds which are mandated by fas licensing requirements. Fa also require minimum qualifications which drives youth coach and td wages up

I havent looked at grassroots clubs in the nrl but i doubt they set such a high threshold for qrl clubs

Nrl and afl governing bodies would also likely have money to subsidize rather than charge 333 per kid in license and rego
