Fight Club - Football Crowds

[Stewie]

anything but steady
they averaged about 14K in yr 1
the same in year 14

Storm 1998 (Year 1) average: 12,716
Storm 2012: 12,685

Swans 1982 (Year 1 in Sydney) average 15,993
Swans 2012: 24,981 despite stadium renovations holding back larger crowds.

The truth is crowds will always vary according to performance, stadium renovations, matchups etc.

What we do know for sure is that in 2012 the storm averaged 12k, lower than any Melbourne AFL team, and the Swans 24k, higher than any Sydney NRL team.

Doesn't get more conclusive than that

Spot on. Game, set and match.

8,181 at Penrith. Sunday arvo in sunshine. Oh dear.

For the record, after Three home games, the Panthers are yet to match the total crowds of the following teams that have played just one:

Adelaide
Fremantle
Richmond
North Melbourne
Hawthorn (presumably)

Throwballers may want to throw it on Fox Footy for the North v Pies game to see what real atmosphere is.

So its pretty clear that Easter Friday was an aberration. A day where no shops, pubs or clubs are open. So what happens 90k NRL fans decide its a good day to get off their arses and go to a game.

What about the rest of the weekend? 8k today, 20 yesterday, 13 Friday.....seems familiar doesn't it

23k for the lowly demons against an interstate side today. Panthers take note

[Stewie]

Oh shit! Imagine if it was raining at Penrith like it was at the MCG today?

[piesman2011]

41k at nm v pies

[Xman]

64k at the AFL today, 26k at the NRL.......

Oh dear indeed. So called Rugby League heartland and crowds of 8k. Merge them with fellow strugglers the 13k average Eels already.

[Raiderdave]

64k at the AFL today, 26k at the NRL.......

156K seats at the VFL

just

53K at the NRL

unable to pick the ball up .. catch it

yeah ...... thats what we'd want to watch ?

swines 2006... average 37K

swines 2012... average 24K


decline

LOL @ a throwballer talking about non heartland crowds. Here Dave, let's lower the bar to make it sporting. How many regular season crowds over 25k did the nRL get in 2012 outside their heartland?

I'll give you a clue; it's less than the 8 the AFL had.

Heres another easy one for ya. How many people attended nRL games outside your heartland in 2012? Was it less than the 767,749 that went to see the Lions, Suns, Giants and Swans? How much less? You go on and get the figure so the rest of us can have a good laugh.

I was trying to think of an analogy of the argument you're attempting to make, and then it came to me:

It's like a cripple trying to ridicule Usain Bolt for running the 100m slightly slower than his previous race.

you are a fuckstick

your code is failing
it cannot retain an ounce of decent interest outside the ********* states in the sth
it is heading down the s bend

the 767K outside yr heartland for 4 sides in 2012

it was 750K.. with 2 sides .. just a few years ago

that equals
decline

2010 (the last year before the Suns + Giants): 666,689. Brisbane averaged 29k, Sydney averaged 30k.

That's an increase of over 100k people.

Have you worked out how many people attended nRL games outside your heartland in 2012 yet? We're waiting and poised to laugh. Here's the website: http://stats.rleague.com/rl/crowds/2012.html

Be a good boy and fetch the figure. The numbers re quite small, you may not even need a calculator to add them.

22 extra games with just an extra 100K attending eh

whats the average their then ?



at a cost of over 200 million dollars too


FMD .. how dumb are the cockheads

[Xman]

64k at the AFL today, 26k at the NRL.......

156K seats at the VFL

just

53K at the NRL

so youre claiming the NRL crowds were less than half because of stadium capacities?

Oh dave, you goose!
