Australias Greatest Sporting Event!

[NlolRL]

Shows twitter interest in the last week

And if Nielson is true to form he treats Rugby League's club rounds and Rep matches separately. He also bases his finding on metro viewers only.

annual reports from both organisations makes it quiet clear which code is more popular on social media,


NRL: "The cumulative audience of 11 million people follow the game on social media through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat across NRL"




AFL: "Social Media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Weibo) up 30 per cent to more than two million followers"

somehow I believe an independent count over each codes annual report

[NlolRL]

Here's a report from April 2017

With a strong social media presence across most states and territories, National Rugby League’s (NRL) total social media footprint touches 2.4 million, while all 16 NRL teams combined account for 60% of the sports total footprint of 10 million. At a representative level, the NSW Blues and Queensland Maroons who contest the showpiece State of Origin series contributes a further 1.75 million to this tally while the men’s national team, Australian Kangaroos, add another 200,000.

Third placed Australian Football League (AFL) has amassed a social following of more than two million with the state and territories adding another 200,000. The sports franchised teams contribute a further 6.6 million to its nine million total footprint.

Yet the NRL own annual report at 11 million

Hmmm, believe an independent report or the NRL?

The people who actually do the numbers - straight from the horses mouth v people who don't know or do the numbers, rather estimate or guess or even make up what they cant find out-der

[pussycat]

The year that Origin was played at the MCG, the AFL Grand Final got more but it certainly wasn't a sell out. a couple of events got bigger crowds that year.

Or Pete , are you talking about a Shanghai style sell out.

BS The AFL GF sells out every single year. A sell out means no tickets are for sale

So when you cant get anyone to buy anymore tickets then Gilligan declares the match a sellout?

way to go Gilligan. It's a wonder you couldn't get off that island with thinking like that.

when the ticketing company who sells the tickets announces there are no more tickets for sale, thats a sell out. When the MCG announce hours before the game that there are no more tickets for sale, thats a sell out.

I realise you're not familiar with this concept being an NRL fan

So why is a soccer match at the MCG with a crowd of almost 100k . And than ,some months later , theres a match of about 95k but its a sellout.?

[Fred]

Because the one that had no more tickets for sale was sold out whereas, for whatever reason, the other one still had tickets for sale. Hence not sold out.

are you referring to the AFL GF which Wookie said was less than 1k difference?

[pussycat]

What Wookie actually said there was only 1 not 2 crowd figure bettered the AFL's grand final crowd that year.

The Ratings difference for the 2015 Grand Finals was around 70 or 80k when Tasmania and WA regionals were included, when the rating from the Warriors were included it would have been plenty more.
