19k......

So two NRL semi finals gave us a huge 42k with one being a heavily discounted local derby. The AFL had 89k last week with no local derbies.

Meanwhile 43k watched the dockers tonight, the second biggest dockers crowd at subiaco ever. That's a total of 128k for the round.

I was surprised they posted 19k, looked more like 15k to me but oh well

And it's tv ratings

One of the largest Sydney NRL clubs vs another Sydney NRL club in a prelim final and they barely scrape 45k......oh dear.

Couldn't even get to 45k, lol! I knew the nRL was struggling, but I didn't know things were this bad for them. Sums up a shocking year for the code.

Oh surely he didn't? My god, Dave wrong yet again.

60k predictions for an NRL preliminary final.

So what do we have re crowds for 2013! Just looking at where the two go head to head.


Biggest crowd numbers overall for 2013: AFL


Biggest average crowd for 2013:

Biggest average crowd in non traditional markets : AFL

Biggest average crowd in Sydney for 2013: AFL

Biggest average crowd on Brisbane: nrl

Biggest average crowd on Gold Coast : nrl

Biggest average crowd in Perth : AFL

Biggest average crowd in Melbourne: AFL

Biggest average crowd on Darwin ; nrl (I believe)


Add in a few more. Seems AFL wins re crowds any way you want to look at it for 2013.

Since when are Souths and the Roosters massive clubs?

They may have been 50 years ago, but others have overtaken them since then.

Idiots in the media and their stupid followers ^^^^^^^^^^^^ love to run something down without having a look at the real picture.

And the real picture is simple, the popular teams are playing like shit and the less fancied teams are winning, not bloody hard to work out, is it?


Derp!

Biggest crowds in Sydney = NRL

Biggest crowds in the ACT = NRL

Biggest crowds in Newcastle = NRL

Biggest crowds in Wollongong = NRL

Biggest crowds in Wellington = NRL

Biggest crowds in Auckland = NRL

Biggest crowds in Townsville = NRL

Should I continue?
