    The TRUTH About the A-League in 2026: What Fans REALLY Think

    Is the A-League in trouble? What needs to change to bring the fans back? And can the competition recapture its glory days? With the 2026-27 A-League Men season kicking off, the Building Blocks vodcast puts the big questions to four of the competition's most passionate supporters. Host Matt Windley is joined by Newcastle Jets tragic Matt Vandenberg, Adelaide United fan and radio personality Liam Stapleton, Western Sydney Wanderers supporter Joey Kay and Marty Heart from Melbourne Victory fan podcast For Vucks Sake. From declining crowds and the loss of the A-League's golden era to expansion, promotion and relegation, marquee signings and the future of Australian football, the fans have their say. In Episode 17, we discuss: - Is the A-League better or worse than it was 10 years ago? - Why have crowds and interest declined? - Should South Melbourne and other historic clubs join the A-League? - Is promotion and relegation the answer? - Does the competition need more teams, more games and a shorter off-season? - What would fans change if they were A-League CEO? - Predictions for Newcastle Jets, Adelaide United, Western Sydney Wanderers and Melbourne Victory in 2026-27. Four clubs. Four passionate supporters. Plenty of different opinions about the future of the game.💬 **What would YOU change about the A-League?** Let us know in the comments.
