I don't really think football and cricket are comparable with regards to TV -vs- the gate, mainly due to the amount of games that are actually played. There is only one test match a year in the country's five biggest cities and between 2 and 3 one day games if you are lucky. With the way that Austra...

I realise that a portion of this thread is missing due to a site crash and so some ratings comparisons may be missing. But to reinforce my opinion on Beaussie's initial post in this thread I will put forward the latest Brisbane (South East Queensland) ratings installment courtesy of The Courier Mail...

Granted KE, although I long held doubts and reservations about your true arcade abilities I must say that I respect your achievments and congratualte you on your temporary status as the arcades best. However, I am interested to know why you are yet to touch The Gaurdian? I suspect you are intimidate...

I was quite surprised and unimpressed with the way Stuart carried on after Origin 1. He has obviously learnt his trade from Phil Gould.

I think you've misunderstood the original article Beaussie. I believe it is stating the audience for particular times. For example it says: At 9.45pm on Thursday, 361,100 tuned in Which was followed by: but by 10pm the audience dipped to 285,900 The article is noting specific times during the show, ...

Thanks for the tip KE

Well, the end result was a 24-20 extra time win to the Maroons. The Blues came back hard though, Craig Wing did it almost single-handedly with some brilliant runs out of dummy-half. The Toads led 13-0 at the break and skipped away to 19-0 not long after. But the Blues put on 20 points in around 15 m...

Not attempting to cause a stir here, but I watched what I could of the Swans recent matches against Port Adelaide and the Bulldogs and I have to say that they were the two most boring/tedious AFL matches i've watched. Is it any coincidence that both these matches involved the Swans? If what they're ...
