When you can match our crowd numbers, get back to us. Until then STFU, you have no idea what you're talking about.

easy to have crowds when you charge as little as $2.50 to get in
a vegemite sandwhich at the local shop would cost more

You lot don't even charge people to get in. Freebies galore with a Big Mac purchase at McDonalds. Hilarious part is you still can't average much more than 10k per game. Hilarious I tell ya.

Our expansion teams are still going strong. Not one has folded. Hmm, lets now look at your codes' expansion history.
Adelaide Rams?
Western Reds?
South Queensland Crushers?
Hmm, I'm sure there are more too. Expansion has not been a real success for the NRL ay. The people of Australia have clearly spoken. Your code is confined to some parts of NSW and QLD. And before you say it, Melbourne Storm losing $11 million annually is not a shining example of successful expansion either.

ah beaussie .. you're in fine form today
strong
2 are dead broke & on a rapid decline in support
the other 2 won't turn a profit for a very long time , & will be the 2 lowest supported AFL sides ( by some way ) just behind the other 2 expansion AFL sides .... probably for ever
yeah.... nailing it from one end of Australia to the other is the AFL

bigger then 60% of NRL clubs .... GWS & the Suns .... ? phhtttt please
but we'll see won't we
Swans & Lions crowds are falling rapidly
the Swans tiny crowd advantage over a couple of Sydney NRL sides will be gone in a few years
no such slanted boasts about being the most supported club in Sydney .. despite being the only club in that sport .. in that city
will be possible then
& beaussies ridiculous claim of the AFL's expansion sides still being strong .... will be exposed for the joke that statement truly is

2010's membership numbers from March
>
... ended up being 143K anyway
that 143K grew to 178K in 2011 ...& that has grown from about 85K in 2006
an increase of more then 100% in 5 years
we are a sport that has only started pushing memberships in the last few years .... & what staggering growth has been achieved
we'll probably get another 100% increase in the next 5 years ... as the NRL hasn't even hit the tip of its potential where memberships are concerned
alas .... the AFL has hit its peak with memberships numbers
I don't even think it posted an increase in 2011 .. did it ?
its stagnent ... its growth is finished here much like its average attendance figure peak of 37K ... it will never hit that mark again.
both will wind back with the decline of the sport in NSW & QLD
& AFL expansion will officially be a failure

We are the market leader in Sydney and dominate sponsorship, membership and attendance figures. Very impressive I must say.
Meanwhile you lot have 14 of your 16 clubs running at a loss.
