Fight Club - Football Club Memberships

[Raiderdave]

And the dumbarses spend all of it on pokies and not arse Raiders tickets/memberships

I know you won't bother to provide any evidence of your claims, so I'll just presume most of it's BS

plenty of evidence d head .... go to the ABS site for proof of all of the above
&
I forgot one
highest disposable income nationally as well
we have plenty of coin ...so have a diverse range of things we spend it on

Poort joblesselaide fans
waiting patiently for St Vinnies to deliver their Xmas lunch.... in a box

If the ACT has such a high disposable income and employment rate, why don't they bother going to watch the Raiders play? Is it because union is king there?
NSW usually has the lowest employment rate, probably because the west of Shitney is boganville. No wonder it's called "rl heartland"

the Raiders haven't been very good ova the last few years
were 2nd to last for 2/3 of this season .... & 2nd last in 2011
but our final this year was an indication of what could happen with some consistency ..... sold out in 3 days

Canberrans it seems don't watch brumbies games either c head
they lead the S15.. on top .. all year , til the final round .... but only managed 14K on average a game
& of course as I pointed out ... theres 4 people watching the Raiders on pay TV in Canberra , to 1 watching the Brumbies
Raiders .... KING

Sth Aust .... lowest median house prices in the nation
lowest average wage in the nation
lowest education levels

poorest football clubs

oh dear .... what a hole

NRL membership on track for a record year... =D>

Yet 1/3rd the AFLs figure =D>

& it was 1/6.... just 4 years ago

wow NRL
just wow ..........

the distance between members for both codes will remain near 400k. Simple mathematics will dictate the NRL will edge closer percentage wise while maintaining this 400k distance.

More people watch the Brumbies than the arse Raiders

Union is king in Canberra. They just hate league over there, like they do everywhere else other than Sydney and Brisbane

No but, fact.

A person who is 20 years younger will always creep close percentage wise while maintaining the same 20yr gap. Same concept.

WTF ?

[Xman]

Knew it would be beyond you

[ParraEelsNRL]

Knew it would be beyond you

Soooo where are these new Vfl members coming from seeing as the Vfl markets are already over saturated? NSW and QLD?

Whilst you are right about the young person always maintaining the gap, the other (Vfl here) is also dying off in their age dem, thus the younger numbers in the future will be much bigger but they too will die off. So around it goes. I think xman thinks somewhere in that line, the Vfl will take NSW and QLD and that time is now supposedly

I wanna know how xman thinks if the NRL grows its membership as they have stated, how and where are the Vfl going to find these new members to keep up his mythical 400k barrier.

So the lions and swans began with 20-30k members each did they?

Tasmania anyone?

Perth is maxed out due to stadium size. The eagles have a 10k waiting list.

The Adelaide teams will rise when they move to Adelaide oval.

[Stewie]

I wonder if any nRL clubs have a membership waiting list?

[Beaussie]

GWS Giants and Gold Coast Suns in a battle to be the first to sign up 10,000 members for 2013

[eelofwest]

Looking like a record year.

NRL (2012 number's bolded)
Brisbane - 14,761 (25,366)
Canterbury Bulldogs - 8,997 (13,218)
Canberra – 4,000 (8,348)
Cronulla Sharks – 3,400 (6,878)
GoldCoast – 3,000 (6,610) Brandz were did you get these numbers out of curiosity?
Manly - ????? (9,540)
Melbourne – 8,500 (12,736) And were did you get these numbers, Storm have not updated the memberships on the website for 2 months now?
Newcastle – 11,504 (18,460)
New Zealand – 5,000 (10,800) Were did you get these numbers cant find them anywhere?
North Queensland - ????? (10,212)
Parramatta Eels – 9,509 (10,999)
Penrith - ????? (11,169)
St George – 13,529 (20,313)
South Sydney – 16,235 (22,000)
Sydney - 4,829 (9,305)
Wests Tigers – 5,121 (10,248)

I seen GC's numbers on an article or on twitter can't remember which one it was mate.
& Melbourne would be at approx. 9,000 now or just under and NZ's numbers 4-500-5,000, they are accurate estimations.

Yeah the Melbourne numbers have not moved for months on the Storm Site so i would say maybe more then 9k but we will wait and see.
NZ i would think it would be more then 5k imo.
