School programs - 57116
School comps - 155416
Accredited volunteers - 39997
Total - 525030
So they add to participation ANYONE who turns up to an event, program participants - not at all double counting - and like AFLCRAPPER tells us school figures MEAN NOTHING as they are forced to do it - and accredited volunteers? Even this number is suspect with 1599 being listed in NSW and 1065 - the two LARGEST states 2664 yet they claim 40k Australia wide? Touch football is certainly taking a leaf out of the Gold Coast Titans and how they estimate crowds!!!!!
But the best is that a so called expanding sport has suffered 4.7% decrease in Adult teams playing NATION wide and a .69% decrease in junior teams!!!!!!

Good luck to RL in their latest acquisition - not a fraction of the attraction of Auskick and by all accounts a sport in decline!!!!! Another thing to go with Newcastle, Balmain and Titans all being financially dying!!!! Hahahaha!
Pussycat if it is correct to say AFL fudges it's figures by including schools in participation isn't that same argument to be raised for touch?pussycat wrote:Swans4ever wrote:Touch has to be one of the sports with the most fudged participation figures -

There is NO 13/14 report - I notice you DIDNT address the question that they are double counting to achieve this participation of 525,000. They have targeted 550k but obviously if it's a matter of double counting people participation could be half that! It's BS and clearly there is an agenda afoot!ParraEelsNRL wrote:Like how he manipulated all that.
