Fight Club - Football Club Memberships

[Stewie]

All heartland clubs that have posted numbers are way ahead of the same point last year, mind telling me how you came to your analytical conclusion oh wise Xman......... =D>

When any heartland team has less than 10k members total that is dismal...

10K to start the season maybe
but theres 11 weeks to go til then ... you **** half wit

My Predictions for NRL clubs memberships for 2013 at june 30 next year

Brisbane - 30,000
Canterbury Bulldogs - 20,000
Canberra - 12,000
Cronulla Sharks - 12,000
GoldCoast - 12,000
Manly - 12,000
Melbourne - 17,000
Newcastle – 25,000
New Zealand - 12,000
North Queensland - 12,000
Parramatta Eels – 15,000
Penrith - 12,000
St George – 20,000
South Sydney – 25,000
Sydney Roosters - 12,000
Wests Tigers – 12,000

Total
260,000

260k, what a shit figure. I doubt whether the amateur suburban comp will even get that anyway. No nRL team in rl"heartland" can even get 20,000 members? Pathetic.

Essendon and Carlton would have more if the MCG was their home ground. I believe Carlton's Etihad contract expires in 2014 so it'll be interesting to see what they do there, whether they go to the MCG or stay at Etihad.

You bet. Given the amount of access one and other preferential seating at Etihad essendons general public access sells out frequently. They get far bigger crowds at the MCG.

it was only 90K in 2008 ...... so its increased by nearly 300% in 5 years
thats a staggering growth rate ... we will be at 400K by 2017
so have gone from 15% of the VFL's total .... to 66% .. in 9 years



oh & hows this for a shit figure
..... 6.3 Million dollar loss

[ParraEelsNRL]

And when they're run into the ground again theyll need another billionaire to come and save the again

run into the ground

like 9 VFL clubs are now ?
a few of them wouldn't mind a tinkler coming along to bail them out ... but alas , further down the sh.it clogged S bend they go

There have been many times an AFL team has been in financial trouble. But none have needed a billionaire to save them. All have been resurrected by members and financial strategy. This will happen again and again.

Face it. The AFL have more followers and these people are prepared to save their club. The NRL rely on saviours because the fans just aren't interested unless its on TV

Naaa not a Billionaire because no Billionaire would waste money on vFL, but there have been a few Millionaires run vFL clubs aye Xbendsthetruth?

Swines and Brions don't ring a bell?

Hypocrite.

200k NRL memberships last year to 700K AFL memberships. Thats 28% Dave.

I bet the AFL has actually had a more additional memberships in that time than the NRL.

Umm no, a 300% increase would be over 360,000 in total, not 260k which is just your estimate in the first place

[ParraEelsNRL]

I don't give a fuck when the last time was because you are being a hypocrite. You go on about this shit all the time even though your own code failed multiple times with private owners because the Vfl has no idea how to work with others.

Like the NRL are succeeding with private ownership now are they?

The NRL need it. They havent got enough fans to keep teams viable.

[ParraEelsNRL]

Yes the NRL is doing well with private owners and so is the SL.

Just because your code fails at everything any other sport tries doesn't mean the people involved in RL are as stupid.
