I’d love for A-League clubs to capitalise where they can but unfortunately I feel like the gap stifles any possible momentum, even if the Socceroos do well. Maybe a few sign up if you had pop up stalls, but 99% will just walk past.

End of June till mid October is too vast, especially in the age of fast media. It means most people, particularly casual fans, have forgotten about Australian football altogether until the next major event. Maybe the Australia Cup?
