Drop-in wickets another example of AngloFL ruining Australia

[AngloFootballLeague]

I don't see any change. The fact you've only been able to highlight the creation of 5 small junior teams proves my point. I wonder if any of these will fold as season goes along?

That was just one example ... I have posted several. It illustrates the point that AFL is growing. The new competitions, the amount of women now playing ... all growth. It’s not a slight or threat to rl ... it just is a fact and nothing to be scarred of.

You post two minor examples. No one is scared, just sick of the bullshit.

[Fred]

It’s not bullshit it’s a fact. Australian Rules has a growing presence in qld and nsw. It seems it wouldn’t matter what was put up to support this you reject. Stats showing growth ... not broad stats like participation but stats that break down people playing into registered players in weekend comps. School comps and showing Australian Rules is moving into private schools with its own comps ... the amount of clubs in nsw .. in western Sydney ... nope... not good enough. I’m not sure what would be evidence of growth in new and qld? Surely the amount of teams playing is evidence of that.

Pal, I clearly stated 2018/19. Please read more carefully. There were 24 days scheduled. I was replying to your fumbling mate who mentioned only 5 days of cricket. Clearly he's a dill.

He is. But you are wrong as well.

In any case we've had this discussion. The main point is that, "The clear majority of revenue, comes from cricket and cricket-related membership". Rodney Cavalier former SCG trust chairman.

and heavily biased against the AFL. If the position was reversed you wouldnt take his word either.

You're a partisan fumbling fanboy that cannot and will not see outside the bubble.

Hope this helps.

Nah you just cant see past the AFL stuff. Open your fucking eyes.

What am I wrong about pal?? Do tell.

What am I wrong about pal?? Do tell.

Thanks pal.

CS .
You have an avatar that says something about hate for AFL from northern folk .
I gave you an example of why .
The entitled screeching of the AFL ..& AFL media is excatly why tHere is so much hate as you call it
Next up ..your laughable deflective assumption .

The Good RL folk of Sydney have played RL at the SCG for about 100 years .
We have learnt to share grounds with sokka RU & cricket .
No demands like the entitled Victorian arseholes .
No wanting to ruin the major tenants historical pitch .

So please don't use the deflective RL would do it to bullshit .because it's just that ....

The hate comes from the league fans who suffer a large inferiority complex and are scared see their pathetic game as superior & everything non league as a threat

You haven’t learnt to share grounds, you just stamp your feet and sell games for a buck
The tax payer flips the bill for the club home grounds and whilst the clubs and league still demands for stadium and club ground up grades

Something no other code has
The AFL has well out grown club grounds and plays in stadiums something all states only have one or two
Of

The nrlol plays in club grounds something that there is more than enough of

Here we go another rant full of absolute shit
I posted we share grounds .
You then say we havnt .
A straight out lie .
Latest stadium BW.. used by RL Sokka Ru
Same with aami
Suncorp
You need help
You're a compulsive liar ..
Then onto the well used tax payer rant .
Same shit over & over .
You ignore th billions of tax payer $$ used for AFL stadia .
Wookie was right .
You're a peanut

Because the nrlol still have their tax payer funded club grounds to play at! The AFL does not

The states wa and as got stadiums! Where are the clubs home grounds and how did they get money out of it

[Cats_Steve]

2018/19 season.....A test, ODI's, T20's, BBL, Sheffield Shield. Dependent on days played in test and Sheffield Shield.....yep.

In the 2017-18 reporting period they had 11 days of Internationals/BBL/WBBL cricket plus 2 sheffield shield matches. This gives them no more than 19 days play. The two shield matches took up 8 days and had a total attendance of under 4,000. But Im sure that made them a tonne of money.

Last season had 12 AFL matches at the SCG - 11 and a final.

Nah, not a dill. I mentioned 5 days of cricket. I didn't say there were only 5 played there. Drop-in wickets aren't really an issue for all the short formats. It's only the character of the test match pitch that would be compromised.

[Terry]

There are two issues here apart from the 'tradition' argument. 1) Cricket generates most revenue. 2) The pitch centre square is the actual surface cricket is played on. Every ball bowled lands on it. Every shot is made on it. It is an intrinsic part of the game for every single play.

The swans play on the ground dimensions of 155m x 136m. The time the play is on the actual cricket square is negligible in relation to the duration of the game.

Commonsense would dictate the cricket square is infinitely more important for cricket than AFL.

Clearly cricket should and will win this fracas. Particularly as it is in Sydney where the AFL are blowhards well down the pecking order of NSW sports.

Jesus Christ you arè dumb
All major grounds are tax payer funded .
In fact thle AFL have gouged far more out of govts than the other football codes.
You keep repeating te same Shit over & over
You just ignore the money spent on AFL & go into some jealous rant about RL .

[leeroy*NRL*]

Though it would be an easy call for the amount of money earned at the SCG through Cricket..

Memberships and Corporate Boxes at the cricket are very expensive..
the 5 Day test Match especially when popular teams tour generates alot of money..


(would be very interesting to see the outcome of the Ashes Series at the SCG what it earns in takings

I recan the ASHES TEST at SCG would alone make more than the swans easily in any given year..

[AFLcrap1]

Now now Leeroy commonsense might say that is probably close to accurate .
An international sport will be far more valuable than a domestic one with corporate facilities .

Sadly I think our brainwashed friends will not see it this way .

Yep. When looking at revenue you would need to go in 4 year cycles. The ashes and Indian tests are massive. As are ODI's and T20's against them. Some of the other countries not so much. The introduction of the BBL has added massive revenue streams in recent years & has plenty of potential for more.

The Swans have been perennial finals participants and made many GF appearances over 25 years. They have basically maxed out their potential in that time. This year they will miss out on the finals & are apparently in a re-building phase that could take many years. At best they will maintain their revenue levels. At worst they will plummet. Their next 4 year cycle could be their worst in decades.

Cricket clearly has a massive advantage with many forms and levels of the game that can be played at the SCG. The potential is far greater. There is not a chance in hell they will lose this argument.

[AFLcrap1]

yep agreed
Corporate wise A sport with many levels( international appeal) will be more valuable than a domestic sport ..lol THIS IS WHERE AFL FANS GET STUCK .
A ONE TRICK PONY will not compete with cricket $$$ wise with international appeal .

It's like the ratings ....they like to look at it from the one view ....limited as it is

Is the difference that the AFL usually contribute to funding of the stadiums ? I understand the nrl are not as financially viable as the AFL however.

I would be interested too. I think a one off event like a test would be more in demand re corporates .. as it is once a year as opposed to every second week. So supply and demand make dictate. However a purchase of a season long box also has its benefits as can get more use out of it. Be interesting to see the figures.

[leeroy*NRL*]

yeah i have no doubt Cricket wins this battle and has more funds for its fixtures at the SCG

It is a no brainer..

and i agree with Terry A 4 Year Cycle would tell a bigger story>>
As 1 year to the next for Cricket could jump 200-300% with the big Sides of England and India.

(i wonder how much the 2015 World Cup Semi Final Bought in against India..

I was there, luckily enough to be invited, paid Corporate ticket for the match
which was $850.00 per person if you added the box up.

what an amazing day it was..
