second to alpine skiing?

It is hard to compare alpine skiing with fooball: the austrian bundesliga is international not very competitive, butthe austrian alpine skiing team is the most successfull in the world. This is teh main reason, why austrian bundeliga games have not as much TV-spechtators as alpine skiing worlcup competitions. But when an austrian tteam plays in champions league, this is watched by more people in TV than an average worldcup race. Also, the single events with the most TV-spectators are the World Cup and European Championship Finals in Football.

Also football receives more coverage in newspapers than alpine skiing. --Qaywsxedc (talk) 19:51, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

I agree that this should be changed, if the Austrian national team is in an international competition, the ratings are even higher, e.g. at the Euro 2016 the market share of the Austrian matches where between 60% and 66%[1] and the absolute values where higher than of each other sports event. In absolute numbers the matches of Austria against Hungary[2] (here the numbers are stated separately for the first and second half but the average is well over 1.6 million) and Iceland[3] each had over 1.6 million viewers on average. all these numbers are higher than any event at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics. And during the Euro 2016 there was also "public viewing" (I know this term has a different meaning in English) which is not included in the TV ratings. --MrBurns (talk) 22:11, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

I removed the skiing part now, but imho football is the most popular sport in Austria. the comparison Euro 2016/ Winter Olympics 2014 is quite striking and imho one cannot use club competitions for comparison, because in skiing most fans just support everyone from Austria, but in football many fans of a club don't watch matches of other clubs, e.g. many fans of Rapid Vienna will not watch matches of Austria Vienna or Red Bull Salzburg even if they are in Champions League, although these matches count for the country coefficient. --MrBurns (talk) 22:21, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Relegation from First League?

Can someone explain this in the article? That way we can clarify how someone who finishes third in First League gets relegated to Regionalliga(and not in playoffs).... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011%E2%80%9312_Austrian_Football_First_League#League_table http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011%E2%80%9312_Austrian_Football_First_League#Promotion.2FRelegation_Playoffs
