For the record the nRL has a lower average attendance than the NBA and NHL, two INDOOR sports

The NRL IS an indoor sport! The fans are all indoors watching the TV

heres a table I've just worked out for everyone
a list of world domestic sporting comps that have increased the number of games played by 22 (12% )
but have dropped their attendances by 360,000 (15%)
1. VFL
yep... thats it

There's no other country in the world with a Barassi line. When the NFL expands/relocates in America, they've always moving into football country. The AFL expanded into a region where it isn't popular. Of course crowds were going to be down. Short term pain for long term gain.
But keep telling yourself that the big bad AFL is on the decline, that they'll pull the pin on expansion and write off the million already invested. Keep desperately hoping that it's not going to pay off in the long-run Dave.
