THE high-flying GWS Giants are still struggling to draw interest from casual sports fans in Sydney. Last Saturday the Manly v Eastwood Shute Shield game on 7Two out-rated the GWS v Geelong AFL game on 7mate. The AFL game was also broadcast on Fox Footy, but it’s still not a great look.

The shute shield is only a feeder comp. Hardly a real comparison.

Re: Giants vs Swans @ Spotless Stadium Sellout
Same in Vic the VFL get more viewers than the Storm - but having people tune in to watch FOR FREE really doesn't show popularity - might be re-runs of Gilligan's Island or Telle tubbies on - but people shelling out their hard earned and actually going to a match is a far greater indicator of support - it is direct, can be quantified and is not disputable. When RL people have something, anything that is more than just tv ratings??NRL&NFLweLaughATafl wrote:The shute shield is only a feeder comp. Hardly a real comparison.

Re: Giants vs Swans @ Spotless Stadium Sellout
Might have to buy you a beer and argue about that, I do know that there was a football game in 1914 that was termed a local derby in the UK, not sure earlier than that, but I think we can ignore the French and conclude it is a very English termParraEelsNRL wrote:And your lot stole it from Rugby League just like the lot in the Premier League who stole the name the Red Devils from the local Rugby League side from Salford who were given the name by the French in the 1930'spost_hoc wrote:You guys never used it to describe the Swans Giants game before the Wanderers arrived, good to see you AFL types are so frightened of football in western sydney that you nck our terminology.The_Wookie wrote:yeah because Derby has never been used to describe a game or rivalry ever.post_hoc wrote:Yet it was never called a derby before the Wanderers came in,The_Wookie wrote:Carlton and Richmond will play in front of 80,000 at the MCG in round 1.
