Following the brutal Russian invasion of the Ukraine, around the world, many sports etc. are condemning Russia- & instituting bans on Russian-linked teams.
EPL Chelsea's Russian owner, R. Abramovich, is desperately trying to "distance"/eliminate his ownership.
Many brutal regimes (inc oil-rich Middle East & China) have been accused of "sportswahing"- funding sport to gain international "respect".
“Abramovich is trying to sell all his villas in England, he also wants to get rid of Chelsea quickly,” Wyss told Blick.
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has long denied a close relationship with Putin".
Here is a list of sporting organisations adopting anti-Russia policies & bans.

Sydney FC, in the A League, is owned by a very wealthy, Russian-born businessman (who, AFAIK, also spends time in Aust.)- D. Traktovenko.
Will Sydney FC suffer from similar anti-Russian anger? And how?

"2nd March
7am: Reports emerge overnight suggesting that Abramovich is open to selling Chelsea. Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss tells the Blick newspaper that he and “three other people” have been offered the chance to buy the club, but says he is only interested in doing so as part of a consortium.“Abramovich is trying to sell all his villas in England, he also wants to get rid of Chelsea quickly,” Wyss told Blick.

Russian banker D. Traktovenko (who lives in St Petersburg, but has a mansion in Mosman) has handballed ("quietly walked away") ownership of the A League's Sydney FC to his family (daughter Alina & husband S. Barlow live in Sydney)- who own 98% now of Sydney FC .
www.smh.com.au
Traktovenko is not the legal owner. But does he exercise any control, or influence?
(And why is there no legal documentation with ASIC etc. that he no longer has any ownership? When, why, how, & by whom were the A League advised?).
Who are the legal owners, & are funding directly or indirectly, of Western United (& not just the Nominees)?

‘Australian-owned’: Sydney FC say Traktovenko no longer involved with club
Russian banker David Traktovenko stepped down as Sydney FC’s owner in 2015, leaving the Sky Blues to be run by his son-in-law, Scott Barlow, the club says.

Looks like he wanted to sell Chelsea quickly because he knew what was coming.
He now can't legally sell the club, nor can Chelsea buy or sell players or even sell match tickets to games. They can let existing season ticket holders in though.

The Australian Grand Prix is looking likely to happen this time next month:
Track action at the event begins with the support categories, headlined by the Supercars Championship, on April 7.
Formula 1 cars hit the track for opening practice the following day, with race start locked in for 15:00 on April 10.
Race day is a sell out:
Race day for this year’s Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix is effectively a sell out despite the race being six weeks away.
Organisers in Melbourne have today confirmed that the race-day general admission allocation has been exhausted, following on from sell out grandstand sales.
According to the Australian Grand Prix website, race day hospitality offerings are also sold out.
Four day passes are, however, still available for fans wishing to attend.
Interest in the event has been strong with demand out stripping even pre-sale supply, forcing the expansion and addition of grandstand seating.

Hi folks.
I used to have trouble tracking down data on crowd numbers sometimes, but recently I found this site. Anyone know anything about its reliability?
Pretty comprehensive, so if it's to be trusted, probably a pretty good one for us to bookmark.

Used it for years, its reliable in my experience, but with crowd numbers I'm cynical no matter the source.

Thanks. The motorsport publications would have us believe it was significant, thats why I DIDNT link them.

Is 445k good ?
'Seven’s TV special titled Warnie, a showcase of the recently deceased Shane Warne’s life, had 445,000 metro viewers last night.'
'Topping all programming, however, was Nine’s Married At First Sight (MAFS) with 954,000 metro viewers, with the show also topping all three of the key demographics (16 to 39, 18 to 49 and 25 to 54).

yeah, it is an okay rating.
probably a good thing for the soccer that Buddy(550-650K) and the last session of the cricket was last night(126K) + NRL(306K). It could have been worse.

I never understood why the Rabbitohs/rooster matches get such poor crowds. I get stadium Australia is an awful venue but you would think the 2 oldest clubs in their sport would have a greater following and greater buzz to its clashes. They had 60,000 attend a game back in 2013 and I don't think they have gotten anywhere near it since outside finals.

Always a bit dangerous comparing an average across three rounds with season averages.
Having said that, the NRL attendances have been rock steady for 20 years now, perhaps with slight declines here and there.
