Fight Club - Football Crowds

[adamj1300]

I think all the talk has been of how many seats people were trying sell ... And cheap too. See article posted earlier . But looked like a good crowd . Shame it wasn't full but did well to get the crowds they did. Plenty of rabbit fans selling tickets dirt cheap though ... I guess if you were there selling them and didn't sell you'd go in anyway I reckon.

I wouldn't, I'm not paying $150+ to watch another team. Don't have that much money

, if you ever do the opportunity to go a GF its well worth the money, for the atmosphere, even if its not your team playing.

an overated load of shit is how someone I know described it
a waste of money
a snorefest is what he said


people are starting to wake up to this garbage sport it seems

so you have finally seen the light of day ,
the NRL is like a like a coles commercial,
crowds down
TV ratings down,
interest, down
participation's down

I suppose 81k at the NRL GF must be considered not to be a sell out if the ground holds over 84k and therefore waining!

it sold all bar about ten seats you racist turd poker :_<> :_<>
just because some Souths fans stayed at home didn't mean the NRL didn't take the coin off them you fuckstick

like I said
the NRL doesn't do what the VFL does
that is just announce the number of tickets sold as the attendance
no
it only announces the number of tickets scanned as it should

an amazing & entertaining grand final
a wonderful spectacle for those at the ground & those watching on TV
a decider from the top shelf



anyway
a shame the fumbles & bumbles was one an utter dud
a decider from the toilet
bit like the sport is itself :_<> :_<>

Shame that when your same argument is turned on you you run away and resort to the same ol same old. - When you gunna grow some balls coward! If you true to your argument don't make up excuses like a Whiny little bitch - at least have the guts to stand by how you see things!

That's the nRL in a nutshell. Fans are sick of the shit sport. With more sporting options for NSW folk out west, they're abandoning thugby league in their droves. It's inevitable that once RL has more competition, RL struggles. That's what happens to boring sports.

very true

You AFL Ladies are a pack of hypercritics and my new signature is there to prove it, you start a thread about crowds, you try and win every debate by resorting to crowd numbers, and then you even throw up the opposite when it suits

Comment from thread - RLWC is an insult and a joke

i dont get where the 'more competition' is coming from. you must have been sucked in by propaganda like;

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/h ... z2m6Sfyex1

Rugby Leagues only 'competition' worthy of mentioning is football/soccer and the two codes have been amicable for decades. Both codes respect the other and both share alot of free flowing fans from one sport to the other.

If you were referring to the sudden availability of AFL in western sydney then i hate to burst your bubble but AFL is not new to western sydney, its been there for decades but has never succeeded and not because of lack of clubs but a lack of interest which then disbands clubs. AFL clubs like Auburn tigers who are promoted by the AFL(and in the newspaper article i posted) as a club founded in a new AFL area, the truth is the auburn tigers used to be the Auburn red legs originally who disbanded/folded because there was simply not enough people who wanted to play AFL in the area. the only children who did play were from families who had moved to sydney from south or spent time there. AFL is not unfamilar, western sydney nos what it is, they have seen it on tv, vast majority just dont find it interesting or entertaining.

I personally respect AFL as a game because although i have never played it i can see the high skill and fitness level required to play it. it isnt however what i would class as a tough physical game. i seriously do not get why everytime i have watched AFL i see almost every player pushing and giving little elbows to their opposition while waiting for the ball to be bounced, can someone seriously tell me what the go is there? If i started pushing and elbowing my opposition in League im basically telling him im about to punch on so please hit me.

It's more about jockeying for position than intimidation - it's trying to put your opponent off balance

Contact cannot take place above the shoulders otherwise there would be a free kick - it's just about making your opponent slower to react - you see it time and time again just prior to a mark a player will lean or bump into the side of the opponent just prior to the ball arriving to take him out of the contest to get prime position
