its a comparison of 1 game up against another, and the results are similar every single time. Head to head the Swans attract 1 in every 5 sports viewer in Sydney

And againNlolRL wrote:its not an comparison of overall popularity, its a direct comparison of TV ratings for each game. 1/4 the ratings of the homeland sport is an reasonable result when they are up against each other.
of course they do you wankerNlolRL wrote:Your 33% assumes only the fans of the teams playing make up the majority of the viewers
The Swans are one club. The NRL have 9 clubs in Sydney. Tell me, how many people would turn up at AFL games if there were 9 AFL clubs in Sydney?leagueiscrap wrote:so care to explain why each year the swans have the largest attendence average in sydneyAFLsforPussies wrote:The difference is the Swans had a long 100 year history in Melbourne and have been around 15 years longer in Sydney the the Storm have in Melbourne.

Come back when AFL can actually get another nation to actually turn up and watch their game lol.
The Swans barely made the news when they made the grand final in Sydney. Was all about South Sydney. You AFL fans really have no idea how little most people care about Victorias game.
It is shown clearly with GWS going backwards with merchandise sales and sponsorship.
Melbourne started from scratch with no existing fans in another city like the Swans. They are doing well in an AFL mad city.
So you only watch matches involving the raiders?Raiderdave wrote:of course they do you wankerNlolRL wrote:Your 33% assumes only the fans of the teams playing make up the majority of the viewers![]()

Seriously, of the 25 rounds of NRL, how many Friday night games would you watch?
NlolRL wrote:so you watch 15 out of 25 FN live telecasts. Yep, if most other NRL did similar, which youd expect, that would easily result in over 33% neutral fans for each telecast into Sydney. Your numbers are BS, thanks for helping us to show it
