well difference is the AFL were able to attract multiple 80k+ crowds last season for rivalry matchesParraEelsNRL wrote:Wow, does this mean that when the Victory play the Heart and they go close to if not sell out Etihad, that'll mean they have had a crowd bigger than the majority of AFL games in Victoria this year, does that mean the A League Melbourne Derby is the Biggest game in Victoria too seeing as the Sydney A League Derby wasn't the biggest crowd this year in Sydney, but as sure as shit as these sokka fans keep saying, if it's good for the goose, it's good for the gander huh?
Well?
so in that sense the a-league still has some ways to go up against a juggernaut like AFL in melbourne
whereas sydney is different altogether, sold out a joint that the nrl was and has been unable to sell out for years, dominated the news all week, rugby league journos on their knees wanting more a-league. only 3 nrl reg season matches all year surpassed that crowd and only 1 of them over 50k(barely i might add)
it's beautiful
