I love how Raiderdave throws a clause in there because his statement is complete crap

Members are members Dave, the NRL should try some!

It was also found out that their cheapest ticketed membership was just under $100 cheaper than the Swans cheapest ticketed membership, which includes one less game!

nRL... cheap as chips.

For all the little rises by some NRL clubs the massive decrease will be brisbane which will probably mean overall there will be minor growth at best.

Gee, what's the go with those shocking numbers for the Gold Coast Titans? Gold Coast Suns are killing em up there.

Gold Coast = AFL heartland

What about the storm? Didnt they just win the GF? Melbourne sure dont care for RL!

With the broncos down also Sydney seems like the only state in Australia where RL memberships are increasing, albeit slightly.

Melbourne Storm exist for us to laugh at. Victorians will never embrace rugby league. That much is abundantly clear.

The fact memberships and crowds are going backwards during a hugely successful dynasty must be really worrying for the NRL, and any potential buyer. I mean the lions and swans went gangbusters during previous but brief successes.

those titans figures

my sides are splitting

1000 up in 2012

2013

In case you haven't realised the swans arent the only AFL team in Sydney now, and their stadium has been cut by a third.

What's the storms excuse?
