The GWS membership & crowds myth.

[Terry]

Well the Giants are, incredibly, up to it again!!!!!!!! Today they announced they have 25k 'members'. And once again they put out a graph to show where their 'members' are. And once again the graph tells the lie of their own claim lololololol!!!!!!

https://twitter.com/GWSGIANTS

So this year they state they have 4.7k 'members' in their top regions in NSW but 70.95% of members in NSW in total. They also claim 19.5% are in the ACT and 9.25% in other states. The total for their top NSW regions and the ACT and other states is 11.7k 'members'. So this year there is a black hole of 13,300 'members'.

Where are these 'members'? Who are they? If the top regions in NSW come to only 4.7k how can the rest of NSW possibly have 13.3k??????? This is just bald faced lying. How the hell someone in the media doesn't pick this up is beyond me. Dr Goebbels would be proud of these numbers!!!!!!

NSW population is 7.544m
The top regions have 1.329m for 4.7k members at 0.35%.
That leaves 6.215m to account for the 13.3k balance at 0.21%
Sounds reasonable.

"Black hole"......... Where?

Ummmmm pal, you might have to use some common sense here. Are you capable of that??? They listed their 'top regions'. Meaning they are the areas that have the most 'members' in the state. The lowest of the 'top regions' had just over 400 'members'. That means any other region had less than that.

So they have actually shown where less than half of their 'members' live. And that is in regions where they are most 'popular'. So they are asking people to believe they have more 'members' in less popular regions than in their top regions. And massively so!!!!!!! Can you see something not quite right here???? Something that doesn't add up????? Anything that just doesn't make sense????????

Don't answer too quickly pal lest you make yourself look a tad ummmmm.......silly lololol!!!!!!

It's mind boggling that no matter what evidence is shown they still can't accept it .

I read on one site that they probabaly added the women's free members to the total
Prob pets.
There's something very wrong about those numbers & the poor crowds with half or more of away supporters show that the numbers are utter crap

[NlolRL]

why does it matter? They can name any figure they like but if it doesn't translate to crowds it's pointless

That's correct pal......but it matters because the truth matters. They try to sell the club by saying they have the 4th biggest membership of any sporting team in Sydney. It's bald faced lying but some morons actually believe it.

they can say whatever they want, just like the NRL claiming there were 9k at ANZ last night . It's up to the public to make their own judgement. If that's not good enough maybe call the police

[NlolRL]

not a bad crowd at the giants given there would be a small number of saints fans there. Puts the NRL to shame in their own heartland after last nights shocker with 2 local NRL clubs

[AFLcrap1]

Lol what was the announced crowd at spot the fan stadium

[AFLcrap1]

Oh dear
The official crowd had it about half full
That's hilarious
If one in two seats were taken I have a bridge to sell you
There's lies then there's AFL lies

I punched those figures into my calculator, SportsCapital is spot on.
Giants claims of 25000 are reasonable when you factor 6.215 mill for the other 13.3 k members.
I hope this will eventually lead to better crowds at spotless, an average crowd around the 20000 mark would be a good figure to aim for in the next few years.

And when you consider the national AFL club membership rate of all the other clubs is about 4.14% there is a fair amount of room for growth.
Could the beat the tigers one day......?
Never say never I say.
