If you are talking State of Origin then that is not the NRL. That is the ARL dopey. Wrong again.

with all those new boggerball fans on the Coast wanting to get their fix of their new Favourite sport its a given isn't it ?

Enthralling stuff in here. I particularly like beaussie, AFL 'warrior' and borgidiom's efforts at redeeming the code.

I think there code is beyond redemption.

The AFL is predicting a very reasonable turnout on the Gold Coast for the first ever International Rules game played in QLD.

It is time we put a line through the International Rules for good.

Representing Australia – there was nobody there other than Stephen Milne and James Kelly that made the All Australian team.

They tried to herd people in to watch it.

It's done, it's finished. It is not worth worrying about.

Even the past AFL players think its a joke

They loved it on the Gold Coast too
What a joke, this is your international game with no interest. 12,545 at Metricon Stadium, Gold Coast :_<> Beaussie has been very quite on this one after big noting that it will outsell RL international games. If you add together the two crowds that is still short of the attendance of the NZ v Aust sellout in Newcastle. :_<>

A SENIOR Gaelic Athletic Association official, director general Paraic Duffy, has warned the AFL that Australian fans' apathy could bring the curtain down on the international rules series forever after Friday's second Test on the Gold Coast.

Duffy admitted he was "disappointed" by last week's Etihad Stadium crowd of 22,291, down almost 50 per cent on the attendance attracted at the same venue in 2008. In the one-sided match, Ireland crushed an understrength Australian line-up by 44 points.

"When you have only two countries involved in a competition and one, through attendance figures, suggests a certain apathyb], it certainly raises questions long term," he told newspapers in Ireland.

yes indeed dogs
what an utter farce .... 12,500 in the " new " heartland of AFL ( and that crowd was fudged , it was half that )
I mean even with with free tickets dropped by a crop duster ova the Gold Coast , they could only get that many

I mean imagine if the All Stars got that many ?
or a Test

AFL heartland my aunt fanny

& another example of this odd little Victorian Sport trying to spread its wings , trying to puff itself up like a puffer fish

& failing miserably .... again
what a joke.

in a city of 1/16th of the population of london they got 1/4th of the crowd.

I will put my stats up against your lies lol

Wanna try Townsville then ?..... population 170K
a City ,..... about 1/25th of the size of Melbourne

an average Cowboys crowd ( 15K) is 3 times bigger then the AFL Grand Final based on your wonderful mathmatical conclusion
wow

or how bout we put up the reponse to international rules in the biggest flogball city in the World ... Melbourne
up againt the League Test in Huddersfield ( population 60K)

22,921 in a city of 4 Million
12,477 in a city of 60K for a test that didn't even involve England.

0.5% of Melbourne's giggleball loving population showing up
20% of Huddersfields population turning out to watch their fav sport

gee ..... whats doing there ?


a sillier , more stupid analogy , trying to use %'s to talk down a crowd.... or up ... I have never seen then yours
you ought to hang your head in shame
the League test crowd in London was OK
the international Rules crowds were as pathetic as they could possibly be .... that is all

International roolz?
