It's really not that that hard to work out why AFL is not popular around the world.

Hardly anyone on earth knows what AFL is & even if they did there is no fields for the sport to play on so it has no hope overseas.

Rugby League/Rugby however, everyone knows yet it is still a second rate sport in most countries except for New Zealand & PNG.

our little turettes sufferer just had another tick
tell us petey

if RL is 2nd rate in Australia
why do more Australians watch it then your beloved bumbling victorian abortion ?

Anyone who believes more people watch the NRL over AFL is just crazy. I mean stats don't lie. Facts are facts!

Covid is still effecting both codes, well most sports and entertainment recreations, in many different ways,
Next season (and 22/23 season for some sports) will give a clearer picture.
This year with both the AFL and NRL there appear to have many different memberships that they count, which may not give a true indication of full membership.
What memberships should be counted.
Well full membership should be 1, and perhaps part memberships should be counted as such, or a ratio of full membership.
And perhaps “gold” or elite membership, including the sponsors boxes etc worth more according to the cost of a general membership and free memberships 0.

I believe Broncos have a 1 game membership??

Correction - they have 2 game memberships.

Oh dear, TBomb, you really don't understand what makes a truly financially successful club do you? If the Storm stopped with the freebies and actually worked on memberships like the AFL clubs do, being the only RL team in town - the Storm could gain the same number of members as Collingwood. Over 100,000. Should be easy with all the success the Storm have had on the field. But they won't do it. That is bad business. It's lazy.

It's RL fans that are being the tight arses.
