Not that long ago, I got a SMS (in green font) from a friend of my that he shared with me his
rating of the S.League since the inauguration in 1996...
Attendances based on my memory
- 96 Tiger high,
- 96 Pioneer low,
- 97 average,
- 98 recession,
- 99 good,
- 00 average,
- 01 good but media coverage totally destroyed during SEA Games,
- 02 starting to have unusual results
- 03 penalty shootouts average N later died off
- 04 league reduced in teams, gd with jap albirex in,
- 05 gd with paya lebar in, young lions N balestier performed well,
- 06 young lions did well in FA Cup, sporting afrique some interest but fade away after payment
issues,
- 07 tiger cup success, but liaoning destroyed it
- 08 poor
- 09 bad
- 10 worst
I asked my friend if he would like to be quoted and acknowledged, he politely declined, but I
thought this is something rather interesting and it's not those-kind-of-thesis-type of article as
it's simple and hit the nail kind of review.
