Good to see the GABBA FULL for our National Sport

[Raiderdave]

5 thousand short of capacity in a town where rl dominates is pretty good surely. The fact we are even comparing AFL crowds with nrl crowds in nrl heartland shows how far AFL has come . Massive back fire for this post.

how far the VFL has come eh
3 contrived manipulated salary cap & draft privilege assisted premierships in a row 10 years ago
how we doin since then

29K average crowds & membership in 2010
20K average crowds & membership in 2013

they've lost something in the vicinity of 12 Million dollars in the last 5 years & have been bailed out several times by the VFL in that time & in reality they'd of folded if it weren't for hand outs
they've had to move their training facility to the boon docks at Ipswich 80k's to the west of Brisbane as they couldn't afford to stay at the gabba their that skint for coin ..they can barely pay their power bill
but yeah
the VFL has come a long way in Brissie eh :_<> :_<>

what a fuck wit

[Raiderdave]

Looks like Cricket has easily done what derpball has failed to do .
That is have a packed Gabba for a game.(Lions have never had a full house..not even close)
Well done Cricket.

yeah ...looks like its ova 30,000.
& as you say
the venue has never had the fullhouse sign up since the fumbles & bumbles infested it in the late 90's
not once
not ever
even in the days the kitty kats won 3 contrived manipulated premierships :_<> :_<>

Union filled it in 2001 for the Lions tour 42,000
Soccer filled it for the Sydney Olympics in 2000... 42,000
& Cricket has filled it numerous times 39,000 being capacity for cricket.

RL has never been played there but would of course hold all records for attendances there .. if it had
like it does at every other main sports venue in Brisbane


again
the Fumbles n bumbles irrelevant north of the murray

The Gabba hosted several Football matches during the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games including the quarter-final between Brazil and Cameroon in front of 37,332 fans. Rugby League holds the attendance record at the venue with 47,096 people attending a 1954 Test Match between Australia and Great Britain. The highest cricket crowd is 39,874 for a one day international between Australia and South Africa in 2006 while the highest AFL crowd is 37,224 in 2005 for a match between Brisbane Lions and Collingwood.

oh well there ya go
RL King

RL king in its own heartland, with a team representing 2m people......

Well done RL :_<>

there'd be as many fans of other teams in Brissie as there are of the Broncos & nearly that many again who hate the Broncos & can't wait for the 2nd Brisbane team to kick off in 2018

NRL in Brisbane every week from that year
looks like the Kitty kats are gunna go from 4th .... to 5th most popular team & I'd say the roar will have passed them by then so it'll in fact be 6th most popular

VFL

In the same time the broncos crowds have dropped from 35k to 30k. At least the lions have a decent reason, a new AFL team began only an hour away, plus they've been cellar dwellers for long enough to impact crowds.

That applies to every team. The eagles and crows were not followed by their entire cities because many ARs fans still followed their wafl or SAFL sides.

Who cares if the lions are the 3rd or 4th team for popularity in an expansion market? Their crowds still put most NRL clubs to shame

a near 33% drop for the Wions
an 11% drop for the Broncs


however
the Broncos memberships have risen from 13K in 2010
to 26K last year

[NRLCrap1]

They won't be in trouble unless their average drops below that of the GWS Giants. And it won't. The supporter base is too strong. At present the Lions are second in support in Brisbane in my opinion. Yes, the Broncos are number one I admit. And the reason why they have a strong following is because they have been consistently successful. Even the Lions can't claim consistent success.

As I stated and you ognored, the Lions had a competitor start 3 years ago, hence the recent drop.

The Lions also rose in memberships last year despite season after season near the bottom. This is their low point, they'll rise from here as their team improves.

Education time . Approx 10K of the Lions members are Victorian based.
That is not home town support.

Only ONE of the 4 Football codes fails to sell out their Stadium,in Brissy.A stadium with 10 K less Capacity than what the other 3 play at.
& you in your mindless fruitloop world try to say they are 2nd.
They are 4th & going backwards.

[Raiderdave]

who's ahead of them

ahhhhh
who do you think > ..

the Broncos ...Reds & Heat are certainly .. by a mile
& the Roar are at about 18K a game ATM ... I reckon they'll push the bumbling Kitty Kats out soon enough
then the 2nd Brisbane NRL side will make the humiliating decline complete in 2018

As I stated and you ognored, the Lions had a competitor start 3 years ago, hence the recent drop.

so what
the Broncos had a competitor start 7 years ago & its KPI's went up ... not down

The Lions also rose in memberships last year despite season after season near the bottom. This is their low point, they'll rise from here as their team improves.

rose
what ... by 300
they're still 9000 short of where they were just 4 years ago

meanwhile the Broncos have doubled their memberships in the same time & even after a horror 2013 .. it will continue to rise

the Broncos are starting to re build nicely
Ben Barba this year
Anthony Milford next year
& Possibly Cameron Smith & Karmichael Hunt as well for 2015 so they'll be top 4 again soon enough

40,000 members & average crowds for 2015 ... & continued millions in profits each year
absolutely

meanwhile
the Kitty Kats are technically .... insolvent ........ :_<> :_<> :_<> :_<>
yeah
they're doin great in RL heartland aren't they

[Fred]

AFL crap... You have to remember that it is an expansion market for AFL. They have a niche market in Brisbane, are reported in the paper, in the media, and get decent crowds. That's surely a good thing for AFL. No one expects them to be the number 1 code. But they have made a mark and that's a good thing. Compare that to nrl in non heartland states

The Brisbane heat.....what was their average attendance last year? Or their total for the season!

Yes the Lions have lost some support over the last few years, to the Suns they've also had an era of poor results which is the primary reason for poor support in every sport

10k? You got evidence for this?

Many teams have around the same or lower average crowds than their membership total. If the lions only have less than 15k local members they're bucking this trend.
