[edit] Infobox

Hi All, Just started an infobox. I think the total crowd size should be updated after each game, same with goals/leading scorers, but we should probably leave working out averages crowds/goals per game until the end of each round to aviod confusion. Ronan.evans 01:03, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Yep, good work - I see Chuq has cleaned it up a little. Thanks anyways, and welcome to the Wikiproject! Daniel.Bryant 12:34, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Team Colours

So the over vigilant copyright types destroyed our having the logo next to each team name on lists. Why dont we just have the team names in one of thier colours on a box with another of their colours when they are listed. This would at least give them some visual symbol to look for when scrolling down a page. Would have done it by now if I knew how. Ronan.evans 08:08, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Done. I even got the boxes to always be on the inside :D Daniel.Bryant 12:13, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Upon request and mutual decision between a couple of WP:A-L editors, I removed them. If you want to see what they looked like, an example is Template:A-LeagueTableHome CCM and Template:A-LeagueTableAway CCM. The just change the letters to get different teams. The idea of home and away templates was to always have the boxes running down the inside. If you think you have improved on them, post here or at WP:A-L (go to talk page) and we'll have a look if they're worthy of inclusion. Cheers, Daniel.Bryant 12:33, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about that, you put far too much effort in! Thanks for testing it out. Ronan.evans 21:38, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

No problems. Daniel.Bryant 00:03, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Top Scorer"

I just removed the initials for the players listed - until there is a double-up of last names in the most goals scored section, just use last names please. Thanks and cheers, Daniel.Bryant 09:05, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox template

I created this - it will make things easier/less confusing to change. If you want to make any aesthetical changes to the article, you'll have to do it at the above link. Cheers, Daniel.Bryant 09:42, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

I also added it to A-League 2005-06. Daniel.Bryant 09:22, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

I thought I'd do something similar for the attendance and eventually came up with {{A-LeagueAttendance}}. Actually half way through, I got confused and I thought that another user had done this already. It's from watching too much football this weekend. --Squilibob 14:17, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Telstra Dome

Should the Victory's home ground now be listed as Telstra Dome? --Squilibob 14:55, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Not sure - maybe wait for a media release from the A-League confirming it first. Daniel.Bryant 00:24, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Official announcement here. It's 6 of the remaining 8 home games for Melbourne. Would it be possible to have two rows for Melbourne's home ground on the table? -[dM] 03:48, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Will do. Daniel.Bryant 03:49, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Done. Does that look all right? Daniel.Bryant 04:02, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Telstra Dome - only when no AFL game?

I have removed this comment - there isn't a correlation between AFL season and games being at TD.

• During the AFL season, MV had 4 home games. 2 at Telstra Dome, 2 at Olympic Park.
• During the AFL off-season MV has 7 home games. 5 at Telstra Dome, 2 at Olympic Park.
• During the first AFL-season TD game, there were TWO AFL games there the same weekend, so it isn't only when there aren't AFL games being played.
• To answer Xtra's question - why they play some at OP still - it is because it is a hell of a lot cheaper, and some teams they play won't attract a huge number of people.

[edit] Why are the semi's over two legs

Can't answer the reason myself but thought I'd ask the question. Very weird (from an Australian perspective) of having 2-leg semi's but only single leg prelims and finals

I have no idea, either. Maybe it is to decrease the significance of finishing 1/2 and 3/4? Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 07:24, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Also, the team who finishes in 4th wouldn't get a home game in the finals series if the semi's were each a single game. --Squilibob 09:40, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
