So anyway. Back to the topic. With nrl crowds stagnating at best ... are the nrl serious about getting crowd numbers up ? If so what do they need to do as ratings show people are interested.
For me I wonder if the whole game day experience is too short. Maybe bring in 4 quarters ... this will make it a longer and more worth while day and also possibly add to tv revenue with more adds available ?
Do you care much Frederick? Lol. Or just trying to get this thread back on track.
As long as the NRL stays ahead of the super rugby, which it is, its fine. No alarm bells yet. The daily telegraph loves to worry the fans with league issues, yes crowds, ratings and revenue isn't great but nothing too concerning.
And we should start to stop comparing AFL and NRL for everything. Something I noticed we do a lot.
Union is a one off occasion in this country, super Union clubs in AU's struggling, local clubs are OK. Which keeps RL safe. There is more to come from RL I reckon, good luck to my fellow thick necks. God bless.
But remember this, AFL is and always will be the number 1 football code in this country. Get used to it.
