Re: Fight Club - Football Crowds Thread
I'm thinking the crowd for the suns game will be significantly reduced as it is pissing down here. I'm thinking of not going and the anticipated fair weather follower who may have been going probably wouldn't go I would say . Will be a good indicator of die in the wool fans however ... I predict may...

Re: The No.1 Football Code In Australia
I think I see what is happening here. There are actually two arguments happening here and both are correct. Afl people are saying that the swans draw good crowds, indeed generally better crowds than other codes in Sydney . This is true and a cold hard fact based on attendances in Sydney to football ...

Re: Delusions of grandeur
I think it was a silly statement , but so too is the comment that afl has no interest on the GC. It has plenty of interest ... From locals, to people who have moved from afl states, to plenty if kids playing the game. But to compare to origin probably not a good marketing ploy as everyone would just...

Re: AFL vs NRL (Memberships in 2013)
I think if you had a list of Key Performance Indicators for the year you would tick off membership. On feild success ticked of from last year. Tv ratings ... I think maintaining them at last years levels would be a short term goal ( not sure if they did this) but a 5 year kpi would be to increase th...

Re: AFL vs NRL (Memberships in 2013)
You do concede RD that swans membership numbers are pretty good though ?

Re: Options for a lopsided comp
Why is there no such animosity toward rl in Melbourne or Perth or Adelaide etc?? I wondering it is either one of two things ... Nrl people see afl ad a threat ... Or afl are seen as arrogant and a chip on their shoulder ?? Maybe a bit if both I think.

Found this ... As can be seen crowds seem to fluctuate but as can be seen compared to when they started averages have certainly increased with natural variance over the years .

Re: The No.1 Football Code In Australia
Can we get the figures for averages since they have been in Sydney ? It would be easy to pick the best average crowd to compare to however as a statistic that's not really a good way to measure as the variables you have rightly pointed out can influence crowd numbers. What would possibly be more use...

Re: More games = bigger crowds, Busting this myth
I think the storm are doing okay but no where near the penetration afl is having in Sydney. When I lived in Vic if my son wanted to play rl there simply wasn't a club or competition in the area ... I think the closest club was in berwick . There level of junior clubs in Melbourne is very minimal com...

Re: More games = bigger crowds, Busting this myth
I think the nrl would love for the storm to have the level of exposure and crowd numbers that the swans have in Sydney surely ?

Re: The No.1 Football Code In Australia
As mentioned in my post RD , I can see what your saying re : having had higher averages in past (could you post these by the way for swans each year they have been in Sydney) and there may be some merit when looked at in isolation . However how much have those averages dropped ? We know there is alw...

Re: The No.1 Football Code In Australia
Again though, re crowd numbers ... I think if you turn around and use crowd figures to support a code found well against another code it makes it difficult to then say crowd numbers are irrelevant when commenting on the swans crowds when we already agree they are not expected to have same support as...

Re: The No.1 Football Code In Australia
Yeah, I would agree the swans will still need to consolidate their presence and growth to date. I probably disagree re crowds going backwards based on averages given the variables you yourself list as impacting crowds although go agree re tv ratings however as you mention I can't be expected that th...
