Participation wise soccer hands down, top level club wise they have two successful clubs so I guess soccer but the biggest club clearly the Swans all codes!

This is a fine example about how factual TFC isn't.

If we look at professional leagues existing in Melbourne then you've left out probably the leading contender RU.
RL - good ratings but nobody bothers to attend rl games.
RU - Doesn't have the FTA ratings but better attendances and better grassroots.
AL - Doesn't have the FTA ratings some good attendances but is played in summer without football opposition and of course has the best grassroots outside of AFL.
Good point raised about Rugby Union in Victoria cos.

it would be interesting to compare the participation figures for the last 5 odd years for the 3 codes
the work the AFL has done in the west of Sydney region we will not really see the true result of that until at least the next 5 plus years
it always has been league heart land, but they haven't really seen any growth crowd wise for years, teams like penrith & parramatta haven't grown much for their 50 plus years of being in the NRL comp

the wonderers could be the sleeping giant of the teams out in the western sydney due to only being around a few years and have a decent following.

the GWS giants, will find their market place eventually but will take several years, if they start winning some games will help speed up the process
Australian sporting sponsorship
AFL excess of $50m
A league $30 million plus
ARU $27 million
NRLOL $25 million

the swans are probably the biggest club in sydney, with sydney fc being **** the top 5, closely followed by wsw

the giants are still a work in progress, as a lot of new clubs

so it kinda levels things out

but no doubt, soccer and aussie rules are making huge ground in sydney unlike rugby league in melbourne

So lets see these a league ratings for Melbourne, we'll then break them down to when they had competition from the other 2 footy codes to when they didn't during summer.

Sound good?
