A disaster

[Raiderdave]

I saw an article about ticket sales for the Canberra games a few weeks back

FFA are deeply concerned
Gob smacked in fact at how few tickets had been sold

Barely any
Prices were to be slashed to near nothing to try n entice Canberrans to attend
For games not involving Australia
This will probably be repeated nation wide
No cu.n.t giving a stuff
Like I said
A disaster

[post_hoc]

22,000 when kangaroos play in Melbourne, I'm betting football beats it lol

[ParraEelsNRL]

What about Canberra?

What about the TV ratings?

[AFLcrap1]

Lol.
Geez the sokka crowd are getting exposed as liars.

That's volleyball shown as a desperate lie by the look at me crowd.

Thanks Wookie .
Any chance of the Table Tennis numbers .
That was another claim.
Lol.

[ParraEelsNRL]

Cheers wookie, I did read a while back that oztag had around 250-300k as well.

So with just the two numbers you put in, RL is at just over 1 million.

Ha ha ha, these liars at pathetic.

Even if they think they are funny with their pretend I'm a moron troll each day, it's not that funny at all when you need to say the stupidest thing you can to get a frigging bite.

Well done on showing how stupid you lot truly are.

[post_hoc]

Sorry wookie my figures come from the 2012 ABS report, which includes PARTICIPATION both in registered competitions and casual. I'm sorry but all levels of government and businesses rely on the ABS to provide key data. I know where the actual facts are.

The ABS data included touch and oztag, there is no way on gods green earth that touch football has 500,000 players, no way what so ever, the only independent and might I say only trusted source if that data put it at 300,000 which also includes two other "football sports".

[AFLcrap1]

But but but I got caught out.

[AFLcrap1]

Lol.

When the sport you love has a 4 yr deal which is worth far less than 1 yr of the AFL or NRL deal ,& with ratings that will not inspire a bigger deal next time then you resort to jealous lies.

Hi soft cock
Hi Sidney snapchat.

Well lets see one reports sampled data while the other one reports actiual registrations.

One has a billion dollar tv deal, massive sponsorship, and 16,000 people per game. The other is volleyball, which as we speak is being played on beaches and in tin sheds across the country in front of dozens of people with no tv exposure. Get real.

And 1 has a vested interest with increasing numbers, with no repercussions, basically no penalty for lying. Whilst the other is an idependent organisation relied upon by government and business to provide accurate demographic data.

So I call bullshit on the Annual report, 104,000 is the number

[AFLcrap1]

Waa waaa waa .
It's ok soft cock.
Break a few seats .
That will make you feel better.

Another complete and utter crock of shit thread!

Dearest lordy what tha fukk is wrong with you idiots?

Massive inferiority complex is the clearest and only explanation imo I'm right, right?



As for the numbers I'll provide another angle.

The only reason soccer has large participation numbers is because its 'safe'.

RL on the other hand is a sport where you MUST be mentally and physically able to put your body on the line. Sooker doesn't require that commitment. In fact, Sooker accepts whingers and cry babies in adult male bodies, such is the culture of the code.

So in summary. Sooker attracts participants from 4 to 74 and includes all those who are not willing or able to put their body on the line.

RL attracts participants from 5-45 and only those who are willing and able to put their body on the line. The rest who play oz-tag, touch etc would love nothing more than to play RL but they are usually not physically or mentally strong enough to put their body through the rigours. Hence it is definitely fair to put them all in the one bunch as RL is an elite code which requires elite commitment of body and mind. It will not have massive participation numbers for this very reason.
