Aflcrap seems to be on the money here. I've been to many AFL games in Melbourne and I can tell ya, the crowds are nowhere near 50/50. Just look at the images of crowds and you'll see. Then there's the article sportscapital provudes. It's vague, doesn't come from a reputable org or tell us where the figures come from and I recall Australia's leading market research org Roy Morgan citing something like 30% of Aussie rules supporters were women and that this number was declining.
Sportscapital - he tries hard, we must give him that
One last whack on this one for you two knuckle heads.
Now, I'm not discounting Roy Morgan, they seem reputable enough. But their sample sizes seem to vary a bit.
And in the case of the survey you cited KE it was a smidge over 3000 from what I can tell.
Hard to call that comprehensive.
And you two aren't even on the same page. One cites a RM survey, the other has slammed them on other topics.
(Silly move Crap. Once you discount a data source you can never use that source to back your opinion ever again. You'd look like a flog)
This prompted me to call out to the author of the piece I put up.
And the good Doctor informed me the data set he used for his story was from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. With a sample set over 38000. (He also suggested I buy one of his books on the history of Sport)
Yes, he wrote book on the history of Sport.
And I want to add. If you wanted to become a professional researcher and study at Melbourne Uni. Guess who'd conduct some of your lectures.
He teaches where Roy Morgan's CEO completed her studies. Total professionals.
Anyway, from the data he extrapolated the figures stated in his story. Average footy match has 40% women.
Somewhat higher for AFL. 41.38%
Slightly lower for NRL. 37.5%
Within 10% that's fucking close.
Then apply these figures to attendance numbers and you have more than any other league in the country.
Now 38000 still isn't a comprehensive amount but it is shit loads more than yours.
As to all the pictures. We could sling a thousand photos back and forth to back any story. Gets ya nowhere.
Like calling me out on this one. Got you nowhere but on your arse.
