Sydney Swans 33,000 members and growing

[Beaussie]

lol at no nRL clubs managing 25,000 members ever. That's classic!

But, but, but, Souffs are getting close with all their pet and non ticketed memberships.

Pride of the League

Raiderdave giving thr same old rant again, nothing to back up his statements. Obviously he has inadequcy issues! Feels he has to justify how good his game is to feel better about his small provincal game! AFL twice as big, more spectators more members, in every state and more money! It hurts doesn't it Raiderdave that you and your increadibly gay game are losing out to soccer as the second biggest footy comp in Australia. You are a joke!

That's interesting Dave. Do they put a breakdown of where there supporters are based as I would be interested to see where they do come from. I could understand the swans and Brisbane would have a few Victorian members given the clubs history but would think that the Gold Coast suns would not be that much. What would boost the suns membership was that every child that registered to play at an AFL junior club on the coast got a three game membership. That would be a couple of thousand just there maybe.

a few ?

it was reported its 33% of the total number .. for both clubs , do not reside in either Sydney or Brisbane
with the Midgets its 66%
with the Swines .. some of theirs live in the Riverina 500K's from Sydney , so it may as well be Victoria

this is the reason why the number of swines members can be as low as half of their total membership tally
& why Midgets crowds in Sydney will not get within cooee of theirs

yes I'm so upset .....

VFL is failing everywhere except its tiny backyard
crowds falling
misleading membership numbers
TV ratings falling further behind league each year
a media deal less then ours , & it will be way less next time round

that silver is set to be a permanent feature around the neck of the Victorian game
deal with it **********

Crowds are up this year.
Memberships will be up this year
The AFL smashed the nRL by 10 million in tv ratings last year
The AFL's media deal was bigger than the nRL's deal

These are all facts that Raiderdave cannot dispute as he has no evidence. His potato for a brain is not a proper source.

Hey Raiderdave, stop giving us BS put up or shut up, wheres your source? Common put in your source, I dare you, show us where u got this 33% outside Syd membership, show us where this 66% GWS membership outside syd. You can't if you could you would. Anyway are you saying NRL teams are superior because their totally 100% Syd based, Collingwood have 70k plus, the reason their so big is because they can come from anywhere in Australia, unlike you brain dead, neanderthal, fudge packing RL followers, we don't just follow a team because we live there. We follow a team because they represent our values and traditions. Thats why there's 70 k pies supporters because they identify with that club. Where'se Penrith has less than 6k because you NRL muppets blow with the wind! You are a cockhead!

I love it how you AFL arsebandits always ask for proof, but never provide any yourself

Hey doggie style viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3365 this is thread on memberships which has a running tally of AFL/NRL memberships I can find other sources if you require. Now show me your source of information, you baffoon! NRL fudgepacker

I love it how you AFL arsebandits always ask for proof, but never provide any yourself

well even when you provide the proof dogs , which i have on countless occasions
they simply refuse to acknowledge it & fire up the ol .. but but but machine

Again, what possible proof could you have of your % claim for 2013? You've spouted insane numbers from the dark recesses of your mind. If you have a source for them, post it. Stop trying to wriggle your way out of it by deflecting.

Lying that you've already posted your source does your argument no good. Post a link to your source.

hmmm..... every year since pretty much memberships started for the VFL in the mid 80's , the quoted % have not changed much .. only the actual number you blithering F head ,

further proof is the laughable attendances these sides garnish against their membership tallies
