Fight Club - Football Crowds

[leagueiscrap]

That's on top of their cheap tickets that were already discounted down to $15!

What do you mean apparent Link? A couple of articles have pointed this out to you. Cant see it? or just refuse to see it?

There were plenty of empty seats at the fumblers match last night. I guess though it was a sell out, maybe a shanghai sell out

Pussy read the list again. The leagues club wasn't classified as a sporting brand ... was in food or something like that. Their a big company no doubt but biggest sporting brand I don't think so by a long shot. Think the football arm of their operations is a small part. Go back and look at the list and eee how they classify them compared to the sports clubs. Not having a go or anything just pointing out even the list doesn't have the company as a sports club.

Typical waffling Fred rubbish. This is the bloke who strikes out as many RL ratings numbers as he can whilst adding in z grade numbers for the ladies mess.

Now he wants to strike out RL revenue streams because it doesn't suit his fumbleball zealotry. Read the report pal - the entity is known as Penrith RUGBY LEAGUE Club. It is the biggest football club in the land by a mile. Take your BS to your other fumbling mates - they'll just all nod in unison and praise the great god fumble. The intelligent poster's here aren't that stupid.

Lol the nrlol club is next to worthless, few fans and & low club revenues as listed in their annual report

The gaming side things are as grand as they seam! Packer loaned the group money to buy venues

The club is crawling in debt

It's a worthless piece of crap

You,re obviously jealous of the Panthers Wookie lolololololol. I mean you,re not exactly the unbiased voice of reason when it comes to matters concerning Rugby League.

I'm sure if you,d found out Mother Teresa supported a RL team you would have happily stoned her such is your hatred of the game.

Try yoga - it might help lolololololol.

Revenue sources speak for themselves dumbass.

Correct my friend. Penrith Rugby League Club the biggest football club in the country by a mile. And thanks for the desultory tones my little fumbling zealot lolololololololol. Grow up pal!!!!

[Fred]

Not a bad crowd tonight for the Giants. Given the are in in western Sydney... a soccer and rl stronghold, the AFL were smart to target this area if the crowd is anything to go by. Not a full stadium by a long shot but to get that many people to a game of Aussie rules in a place where support was non existent prior to them coming there is amazing.

Just flicked it over to the rugby parramatta and Townsville ... shows that a close game not necessarily a good game. No stein so there is no interest for me and boy when you have no team you see how boring it is. It's just so ... so umm slow. Nothing happens for ages and cowboys just scored a try to go in front and it was one of those boring tries unfortunately. A kick and run onto it. Even the crowd was ho hum about it and the commentators had a brief glimpse of excitement. Crowd seems okay for a change and good for rl I guess even if in rl heartland. I reckon they need to go to 20 minute quarters ... this may force teams to do more in that time.

Yet hardly heard of outside nsw and qld? Must be huge. They are rich no doubt but hardly big. Ask most people from AFL states and they wouldn't know who they are or what they're known as. People all over Australia know Collingwood.

[Fred]

Shit... more people would know Sydney swans I would say. I for one get Penrith and parramatta mixed up lol.

Isn't parramatta considered a huge club in nrlol circles, cheap tickets didn't sell well, then eventually free tickets. You'd expect a bumper crowd?

[AFLcrap1]

So for all the continuous crowing/boasting/big noting /chest beating about crowds it's hilarious that this weekend the NRl got more people to the two finals than the AFL did ( if crowd numbers posted are right) .
Any comments fumblers .

when there are only two games and one of our finals involves our smallest newest expansion club vs an interstate club what do you expect? I suppose handing out 8k free tickets to school kids helped

[AFLcrap1]

But but but but

Roll out the buts you fumblers ...

[NlolRL]

But but but but

Roll out the buts you fumblers ...

so when you wanted an AFL fan comment you didnt really want a comment.........

It all depends on who plays and where they play. You think if it was any team bar the giants at home the NRL would have won? You lost Friday night despite your biggest team playing. Next weekend the AFL is looking at 130k or more for 2 games. How will the NRL compare?

[AFLcrap1]

Well it's hilarious how for the last week you lot have pointed the finger & laughed at the NRL about crowds ,
Now we beat you in one area you dominate & the but but buts start.

given your 2 games this weekend out drew 4 last week your code deserved the derision..LU's crowd thread showed just as much criticism as you see here

Theres no but but, its fact our smallest club playing a home final will always result in a small crowd. Our Friday game still drew well over any NRL final so far this year
