Well the old continuing boring line now is. The Eels get more television supporters than the swans. Is this true? I think it probably is just dont know where to look it up. And if it true is then the Eels are more popular than the swans simply because more people are watching them. There's no ...

Haha Raiders aren't on tv for a reason. Ratings disaster. Bring it on lol

its not just the raiders. The Broncos are the only team that rates consistency. Could you imagine something like Penrith vs Nth Qld on TV? The only way Channel 9 will pay a billion bucks for the NRL is if they get to choose ...

Nice find Borgidiom. Interesting that eels fan says Parramatta are looking to play more games at ANZ Stadium next season. Good luck Eels, you need it.

Its to easy, only a league fan would get excited about 30k crowds lol.

Pity no one watches them on TV huh, damn that Iron Chef, damn him to hell.

Notice how Parra are taking games to ANZ these day? Yep, averaging over 30k there and over 58k for finals.

We'll be playing even more games there shortly.

The Bulldogs are getting closer to the swines too and they had a ...

Envious again, while your code had 1 game this year rate over 3 million, Rugby League had 4.

I am not envious it just does not make sense to me. You would think if there was that many league fanatics in Sydney SOO would sell out months in advance.

Makes perfect sense when you consider how ...

Hey anyone who knows league can you please tell me why Sydney siders dont go & watch State of Origion?

Just looking at this table

SOO is more often not sold out then it it? Why is this? Sometimes its as low as 60% full.

I love how they always blame News Ltd for financial basketcases having to fold in Rugby League. So lame how that wont face up to reality. Funny all the same though I guess.

the fact is if they had a decent fan base, membership and were making money they would not of failed. I cant imagine a ...

What?

Can someone translate this gibberish for me?

Really? Its a pretty simple statement, I will try to dumb it down just a bit more for you.

You pointed out that the Swans use to be struggling.

I pointed out that they now have a higher membership than any other Rugby League club.

This means ...

Only our lot?

Hahaha, I remember seeing the swans on TV every weekend when I was a kid and they'd have been lucky to have 5k in attendance, yet the average was always a lot more.

My brother was walking past the SCG one day and they were that desperate to get people in they even offered him a few ...
