the smallest team in Australia are........

[adamj1300]

with teams fighting for supporters, people to sign as members & support at games, ive completed
as list of the bottom 5 crowds and memberships, for the season 2014, with the AFL being up to round 6 and the NRL round 8.
wow surprise surprise, the NRL finally wins something

lowest membership totals
5 New Zealand 9,714k
4 crunulla sponsor less gummy sharks 9,601k
3 wests tigers 9,487k
2 gold coast titans, 8,259k (equal top of the ladder)
1 Canberra raiders 8,197k


Crowds Home games
5 crunulla gummy sharks 12256k
4 Manly, 11892k
3 Penrith 10711k (apparently Australia's, number 1 club >
2 GWS 10660k
1 Canberra Raiders 10032k

the GWS and titans to a far lesser extent have an excuse, as to only being relatively new to their competitions compared to the other teams, are slowly building their fan bases, well GWS are any way

so there you have it. the most irrelevant team are the Canberra money pinching, oxygen thieves raiders
that's even after ACT sports minister has come out and claims crowds in the capital has been fudged

ACT Sports Minister Andrew Barr claims crowd figures to Canberra's professional football codes have been inflated in previous years, leading to lower recorded numbers this year.
Officials from the Raiders and Brumbies are in agreement about the need for the proposed indoor stadium in Civic to go ahead to boost crowd numbers.
Attendances at the Brumbies and the Raiders at Canberra Stadium have come under the spotlight after the early part of the NRL and Super Rugby seasons.
Just 7129 fans watched the Brumbies beat the Auckland Blues 26-9 last Friday night in driving rain, the lowest crowd to a Canberra Stadium Super Rugby game since a tiny 4000 in 1999.
The Raiders attracted just 9636 fans against the Gold Coast Titans last month, however that was an increase of more than 1000 people on the corresponding fixture two years ago.

Adamj1300, it's criminal folly to compare membership levels between the two codes because the NRL have not fostered memberships as a part of the culture until recently. The AFL have always done it. So the comparison there is truly unfair.

However you are correct on the crowds. I firmly believe that the NRL should bite the bullet and stop transmitting games live against the gate on free to air, and get these couch potatoes off their rear ends and attending games. Of course the venues need work as well.

Haha, have you put their latest figure in yet for their current season average after todays game?

LOL@adamj1300

[214Four]

Fuck this award isnt fair. how can any club compete with GWS?
i know.. maybe if they look at the data/achievements for the giants over a whole season then compared it to the data/achievements taken from 3 or four rounds from the team that came 2nd in the 'smallest team in australia' award. will this make GWS loose their crown?

2nd smallest team in australia are the under 10s division 6 alice springs rockers netball team, they have been 2nd to gws for 2 years straight. so if we used data from 4 rounds from the rockers against GWS over the whole season will the rockers take the title as the smallest club in australia?

the rockers lost all games but in those 4 weeks, GWS won 2 games, the Ayres rockers had a total of 110 people per game watch them and GWS had an average of 6000 but only 1000 actually paid (wow GWS are so far winning!)

next community support (oh no GWS's archilles) the Rockers comfortable there

local interest (ohh shit its GWS's excecutor) the under 10 div 6 Rockers team generate alot of local interest from family, friends and the locals they hit the piss with after games at the pub. GWS were confident and claimed they had thousands but after 3 hours waiting at their training facility for locals to attend the open day no one showed up and GWS called it off saying they got the days wrong. next day 200 fans showed up to the training event but we soon found out that 195 arrived to get the free tv advertised on ebay by an unknown person, 4 people were actually looking for the aquatic centre and the last person was just the homeless vietnam vet who is known to sleep on the training field.

so the rockers still smashed GWS even when only using 4 weeks of the season and will stay the 2nd smallest team in australia, No one not even 10 year old alcoholics can take the title of the smallest club in australia off GWS

& there were no more then a few hundred out in the open
& claims the under cover areas was full are also a load of shite ... I know someone who went
( with a freebie of course as hardly anyone paid to get in )
no more then half full
