This still annoys me a bit. We have the best game in the world to watch, why are people so hung up on bloody pre, mid & post game entertainment? You go the footy to watch the game, not to watch some hack sing their latest "hit" or some circus performer doing bloody flips on a trampoline! It's not needed.
It's about an entire experience. I love our game, the pre, post and mid game entertainment I don't go for, but you need to address them otherwise the sport will get left behind.
The cost of football is becoming very expensive for all who attend, and if there isn't any work done in this area, eventually crowds will suffer. Nearly all sports have suffered this in recent years, as the cost and experience of watching it at home is drastically improving vs. game day.
It's not about watching a B grade singer or trampolines, that does do bugger all.
I'm talking about more experiential ideas that have people who attend feel a larger part of the day/game.
Listen to anyone across the sporting business world and this is the area they are talking about.
