It is important that we liven up the experience of watching local football.<br />As far as I am aware, the Government is planning to build a Multi-purpose Sports Centre at Kai Tak with a 50,000 seat stadium. This is due to be finished in 2020. To be honest, we need it quicker than that!<br />Regards<br />MarkAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12311816601866550472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578658460757089715.post-71379762512938550162013-11-27T16:05:47.281+08:002013-11-27T16:05:47.281+08:00Dear CEO:

Thank you for your comments, sorry fo...Dear Franko,<br />Thank you for your comments, sorry for the delay in responding but I had to get them translated.<br />Regarding the Indian League, my understanding is that the Clubs in India that attract overseas 'stars' have more money than most of our Clubs. Until we get to that situation in Hong Kong, we might have to rely on other ways to develop our talented local players. <br />I think it is unlikely that the Government will change its Rules on Elite Sports and therefore we won't get a berth in the HKSI. I don't think that matters as long as we get a similar level of resources and sports science support. At the moment football is short-changed in that area.<br />I completely agree that we should play more international matches from the Senior team all the way down to the junior Academy teams. There is no substitute for international competition. We are trying to raise the resources to get more matches both in Hong Kong and abroad.<br />Again I agree that local players would benefit from playing in higher standard foreign leagues. We already have 4 or 5 of our 1st team playing in China. We will try and place more.<br />In terms of marketing and publicity, we can always do more. Have you seen our new Fantasy Football Game? If not check out our website.<br />Our Coaching and Referees courses are already open to everyone but of course if they have no experience and no qualifications they wiill have to start at the bottom. It is important to keep the standard of coaching and refereeing very high. We have received 'seed money' from the Barclays Asia Trophy which we are using to bring Coaches and Referees over from the UK to develop our local talent.<br />I hope I have answered your points, sorry I can't respond in Chinese!<br />Thanks for taking the time to contribute to my Blog - much appreciated.<br />Regards<br />Mark<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12311816601866550472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578658460757089715.post-3176548562506950602013-11-27T15:08:51.622+08:002013-11-27T15:08:51.622+08:00Dear Franko,

We will consider Mong Kok for future International matches, except perhaps for really big competitive matches whjere there is a realistic expectation of getting circa 10,000 people.<br />2. I really don't think that HK$100 is too high for ticket price. It is up to us to offer better value for money both on and off the pitch. What I can tell you is that even at these prices and with a full Mong Kok stadium, we cannot make a profit. Our costs exceed our income. The HKFA cannot survive uunless we start to make some money.<br />3. Of course our domestic 1st Division is not comparable in terms of quality to the EPL or La Liga but I would hope we would still attract bigger crowds and especially when the National team is playing. We have tried to start to market our matches better but I accept there is still a way to go.<br />4. We have recently increased the bonus payments to our HK team players and based it on getting FIFA ranking points. Often our Directors 'top this up' themselves.

I am not blaming anyone, I'm sim...Dear WeAreHK,<br />I am not blaming anyone, I'm simply asking why in a country of over 7m people, may of whom say they love football, only 5,000 can be bothered to come and watch their representative team. I think that is a reasonable question. The HK Stadium is not difficult to get to. If you think it is, you shoulfd try and get to Wembley from Liverpool or Birmingham or Newcastle etc and you still get 90,000 people going to an England match for which they have to pay about HK$1,000 just for the ticket. <br />I have discussed this issue many times on this Blog. I am not going to apologise for the Board's decision to move a major international match away from a ground that holds less than 7,000. We had a reasonable expectation that more than that would turn up. You can't really compare playing aginst Vietnam (ranked 151 in the world) with playing Uzbekistan (ranked 55). Wherever we played them, the result would probably have been the same. We played very well and therefore I don't think the venue affected the result. We have to be ambitious in Hong Kong. The decision was not taken simply to make more money. We want to keep the ticket prices low to encourage more people to come, especially children. <br />We will review where it is best to play future matches and I am sure that some will be held in Mong Kok. Really this just goes to prove the old saying...'you can't please all of the people all of the time'.<br />Thank you for your comments, I enjoy hearing both sides of the argument.<br />Regards,<br />Mark Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12311816601866550472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578658460757089715.post-10985933552276814012013-11-25T16:12:40.746+08:002013-11-25T16:12:40.746+08:00Thank you for your comment.

As part of our new Strategy I am making the case that football should be treated differently to other sports in Hong Kong. It is truely global and is the most popular sport in Hong Kong. It generates more economic benefits than any other sport and generally contributes to individuals, communities and society. It is impossible for football to achieve the elite sports criteria and this deprives the sport of much needed investment, facilities and resources. <br />I am doing my best to convince others that we need more help.<br />Regards MarkAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12311816601866550472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578658460757089715.post-4743018083026485112013-11-25T16:00:36.878+08:002013-11-25T16:00:36.878+08:00Dear Alex (and Radi),
There have been quite a few ...Dear Alex (and Radi),<br />There have been quite a few debates on this Blog concerning whether Mong Kok is a more suitable venue than the Hong Kong Stadium and I think there are advantages and disadvantages associated with both Stadiums. I don't think there is much difference in the distance from the stand to the pitch but I would agree that there is a better atmosphere with 6,000 people at Monk Kok than you would get with 6,000 people at the Stadium. We had 8,000 at the HK Stadium for the UAE match and this number would have been too many for Mong Kok. We were hoping for more at the match against Uzbekkistan but unfortunately that wasn't the case. We do not have any more matches confirmed at the moment but when we do we will take all of these points into consideration when deciding where to hold the match.<br />Regarding the age of players, as I have said many times, I do not want to interfere in team selection matters, that would be wrong. KIM knows better than me but nevertheless I will pass on your comments about the ages of the players to him. Every team needs a blend of up-coming young players and more experienced older players. Successaion planning is important.<br />We are part of the EAFF because of geographical reasons and I don't know how feasible it would be to change. I will look into that but of course it doesn't stop us playing friendly matches etc.<br />Thanks for your comments. There is nothing wrong with your English.<br />Regards<br />Mark Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12311816601866550472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578658460757089715.post-615721770727282922013-11-25T15:48:38.108+08:002013-11-25T15:48:38.108+08:00Dear Allan,

The match is held in the night on weekday. We have to go back to work the next day. If I live on the extreme ends of New Territories, i have to bear a tiring body the next day. New territories and kowloon accomodates more population than hk island.<br /><br />2. From entertainment perspective, $100 per soccer ticket cannot attract me. Why dun i watch a film with $80 cost instead? I can shop afterwards but there is nothing to spare time around the stadium after match.<br /><br />3. Hongkong people only appreciate high level soccer leagues like epl and la liga. But is the level of hk league comparable with these? <br />In sum, to increase the attendance rate, please<br />1. Lower the ticket price from $100 to $30 if hkfa insists on hk stadium.<br />2. Use mongkok stadium instead of hk stadium<br />3. Advertise the match on different channels. Maybe the airtime on tv is expensive. Then try youtube, facebook. At least place a one fourth page ad. on newspaper, not on sports page, but on main news or entertainment news page. Because nobody knows hk teams fights for the reputation. The report is too small. <br /><br />4.increase the cash reward to bost morale of hk team. If i were the player, why dun i reserve the energy and perform better in the league. It creates much more value to me. <br />3.

Lack.of stadiums for professional team, commercial support, future prospect from the perspective of young adults as a professional football player. Also, the govt's elite sports programme lack its long term vision because players needa gain prizes before reciving support for the authorities. To be frank, how can HK team be the champion of world cup or asian cup? Building a castle in the air. Could you please make a suggestion to the govt to let football be the exception? Football can utterly raise our pride of citizenship when comparing to other sports. <br /><br />Please stay passionate becease our territories need football badly. I appriciate your efforts and new thinking! Hope you can really make a change for HK football.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11176521781674129831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578658460757089715.post-91028858513656826092013-11-21T10:54:28.298+08:002013-11-21T10:54:28.298+08:00Mr Sutcliffe,
As many people said before, Mongkok...Mr Sutcliffe,<br /><br />As many people said before, Mongkok Stadium is the best choice for weekday match rather than Hong Kong Stadium. The reason is very simple: convenient.<br /><br />Firstly, people can go and leave there very easy and fast with many public transportation. Especially red minibus in Mongkok, which can go almost anywhere in HK.<br /><br />Secondly, food for dinner. MK have many restaurants and price are cheap. No need to spend extra money inside stadium. We both know the food in/near HK Stadium actually expensive and not many choices.<br /><br />Finally, the atmophere is very important. Many people agree that MK stadium much better than HK Stadium because the stands are narrow and near the football field.<br /><br /><br />And I have some comment about Hong Kong National Team and HKFA.<br /><br />We both know the player in HK Team are not young anymore. If we can't qualify 2015 Asian Cup, HK Team should have a big change. Some players will be too old in 2019, therefore they should step out the team eariler, giving chance for young players to join the team and gain experience with some core players.<br /><br />I have one more advice for HKFA, why don't leave EAFF and join ASEAN?<br />Because members in EAFF rather too strong or too weak for us, the different is too big.<br />If we join ASEAN, we can join Suzuki Cup, play with some nations that suitable for challenge. We always face the football clubs of ASEAN nations in AFC Cup. So leaving EAFF and join ASEAN is one of the choice to make HK football growing.<br /><br />Sorry for my English and thanks for reading.<br />Alex Chanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15718651242754416812noreply@blogger.com
