Talking Footy

What?

Can someone translate this gibberish for me?

Really? Its a pretty simple statement, I will try to dumb it down just a bit more for you.

You pointed out that the Swans use to be struggling.

I pointed out that they now have a higher membership than any other Rugby League club.

This means that a team that was once doing badly is now doing really good.

I would of not realised this if it was not for you pointing it out to me. That was a sarcastic remark, being an exmaple of you trying to put the boot into the swans but just ended up putting your foot in your mouth. Again.

Hope this is simple enough for you to understand. I know words can be hard.

Bullshit, half their members come from Vicardia.

Souths had over 20k alone last season and this is a new thing for RL, give it a decade and well see what memberships look like then seeing as the VFL/AFL have had 5 decades head start.

The swans have as many members and people going to games as they have watching them on TV in Sydney.

Yep, Fark all.

Swans 27k as of June 2011

Souths at the end of the season 20k

and then there are some power clubs like the eels 11k lololol and then the raiders 7k lololol

Eels were over 11k last year and they were shit.

Already right now we have South, Dragons, Broncos over 10k 3 weeks into sales with Newcastle not far behind.

Then there's team like Parra and the Dogs around 7k after 2 weeks of sales. Things are picking up.

Here, start from page 20.

lol, yeah done real well on crowds of 5k (fudged), you are full of shyte.

Hey lets get one thing straight, it's only you lot that resort to fudging crowd numbers.

says you
the old brissie Bears ... the Swans ... Lions ... Thuns , & soon to be GWS ... have or will have all done it

The AFL applies severe penalties for things like this. The NRL do not AFIAK.

AFL teams still counting pet memberships and 1 and 3 game passes in their tallies?

I was referring to crowd numbers, eels fan.

Who's crowds then and at what stadiums?

I've heard it said that the Eels are one if not the most popular NRL team in Sydney with a huge population to draw upon. 11k is the best they can do? GWS have more members without having even played a game in the AFL.

GWS have no real members yet Bearsey.

And Memberships for the NRL are a new thing, 3 years ago, Parra would've had 300 members max, so it's growing.

So you lot keep saying year after year. That excuse is very old now. BTW, are you a member?

Yes will be for next season.

Wow, such commitment to your club/code. Why haven't you supported your club to date through buying a membership? Any wonder why the NRL is such a farce with so many uncommitted so called fans.

All AFL crowds at all stadiums.
