Okay ... Predictions for next year


Out of AFL and nrl for 2014 overall :

Who will get the biggest crowds for the year (we will include soo even though Dave


Who will get the biggest tv ratings for the year (all TV)

Who will have the highest membership?


Keep it simple guys ... Don't try and twist and spin things like breaking up tv ratings ... Picking the odd game here or there etc ... We are looking at overall

Good thread phelpsy...

Crowds.
1.AFL Grand Final
2. ANZAC DAY AFL
3. State of Origin
4. NRL Grand Final
5. Without a doubt some premiership AFL game.

TV Ratings.
1. State of Origin
2. State of Origin
3. State of Origin
4th and 5th is a toss up between AFL and NRL Grandfinals. It all depends on who makes them.

Memberships.
I don't think its fair to use total memberships for each club because AFL teams get a MASSIVE advantage because AFL have had club memberships in their codes culture for a very long time whereas the NRL has only pushed memberships the last couple years.
A fairer way would be to make predictions on which club will get the bigger membership increase by the end of 2014 seasons, but again it would be flawed because everybody knows how insignificant membership totals are and they should be taken wive a grain of salt cos they are easily inflated, things such as free memberships to club sponsors, free memberships, one game memberships etc etc.
That's why I haven't given a membership prediction

crowds in this prediction thread are irrelevant to an extent anyway

fumblers get all excited when a club game gets 85K & pooh their pants that it was a bigger deal then origin
but as we know these twats lack perspective

never mind the fact the SOO was 100% full & their club game 85% .... if ANZ held 100K you'd get up around that for an Origin Decider
also
the gate for their 85K club game may have been about 1 million dollars
the gate for the 84K crowd for SOO at ANZ .... about 12 Million dollars

the fumbles & bumbles game here ... is not in the same postcode as the origin game in reality when this is considered.
the 5 biggest crowds straight up is a waste of time


the 5 biggest gates is a more accurate gauge

1) VFL GF
2) NRL GF
3) SOO ANZ
4) SOO Brisb
5) SOO Brisb

RL again dominates where it matters

Bullshit, Dave. The two Brisbane SOO matches fall behind all of the AFL finals AND the Collingwood/Essendon ANZAC Day game. Why? Because of the capacity at Suncorp!! Besides, the finals of the AFL are as expensive as SOO! Or if they aren't they are fricking close!

You're letting that $2.50 lie get to you, goose!

wanna make a wager
you gutless fumbling fucktard ?

Origin tickets in Brissie are on average about twice as expensive as any fumble bumble final ..... & ten times more then that disrespectful fake VFL ANZAC clash :_<> :_<> :_<>
Sydney about 75% more expensive

want proof
fuck off ... take the wager

You are the gutless one, Dave. Give. Or you are the "gutless fumbling fucktard" who won't back up what he says in the first instance - starting with PROVING that all AFL admission prices are $2.50 during the home and away season! Oh that's right, you can't!

You're about as brave as a high jumper with the bar at 10 centimetres.

NRL is nothing but a gimmick state vs state
if there was true interest in NRL why is there lack of interest in the club games.
after the price hike of the NRL tickets all of you bumsniffers where talking about, they where still half the price of the AFL tickets. yet still struggles to sell out

Geez the lies & ramblings of the fumbletards is quite amusing.
The RLWC really fucked them up...
Cant wait to see the usual SOO meltdown...
Not long now fumblers ..
Only 4 months

Can't add to what you said, Adam!
