A-League boss questions poor TV ratings
With A-League TV ratings in serious decline this season, the competition's boss Greg O'Rourke has stressed those figures aren't a fair reflection of Australian football fans.
According to audience data, just 22,000 watched Melbourne Victory's elimination final against Wellington Phoenix on Foxtel with a further 35,000 tuning in via free-to-air.
In comparison, 77,000 were reported to have watched Tottenham's league game against Bournemouth which was shown on SBS on the same weekend.

While O'Rourke concedes viewing habits of footballs fans have radically changed in recent years, he questioned just how accurate the A-League's TV ratings are.
