easy to please>> 20k crowds are great if achieved (would be in the top 15 sports attendances in the world)NlolRL wrote: ↑Tue Jun 12, 2018 4:23 pmand RL isnt even the second most popular sport in those countries, except NZ where RU is so far ahead it's not funny. If you're content comparing to those comps you must be very easy to pleaseleeroy*NRL* wrote: ↑Tue Jun 12, 2018 2:33 pmI am not comparing Rugby league in England >>

you know
New Zealand
England (Ireland) Wales) Scotland
France
Italy
South Africa
Japan
etc etc...
So the swans crowds are boosted by people from interstate but not the Sydney NRL clubs from opposition sides in the same city?Yes the whole 5million people in Sydney get to see the swans 11 games a year..
with who knows how any expats travelling to the great city to watch
Pies v swans
Crows v Swans
Hawks v Swans
Tigers v Swans
you see how popular AFL really is when the AFL plonked another team here (7k in Attendance)
remember 16k crowds are not including SOO Games and Tests etc..(which would increase that figure)
also in Rugby league>> very unlike Melbourne
Most home games at ground consist of most home support.. an very little away..
I spoke to wookie about this>> and he stated the NRL should do what the AFL do
and entice the away members of supporting teams discounts etc etc to attend ...
as the AFL do this very very well..
and the NRL do not>> it was tried 1 game last year by Parramatta and it worked a treat 33k a to normal sunday arvo game.
I cannot believe the NRL or clubs have not looked at this more or pushed down this way..
