none !!

didn't youz used to have a couple a year .... only a few years back







decline

They corresponded with the swans playing in GFs and when the swans were the only AFL club in Sydney

oh so ..... with the swines being the premiers ... & the other sydney side playing today

we should expect one today then ?

Is it a swans home game? Are the Sydney swans the only team in Sydney? Are they playing a large Melbourne team like Collingwood? Are they playing in a game between two likely finals teams?

Seriously, you have no idea. The fair comparison is the giants home game verse the swans last year, take a few thousand away because its not the giants first game ever. 30k would be an outstanding result. Go giants!

you are fucking kidding


the swines are the premiers ... & playing the other Sydney VFL side
meaning ALL of Sydney is represented
this are the swines still the only team BS is irrelevant .... ALL of sydneys teams are there
its a derby
one team is the premier

& you are attempting to explain why a crowd ... less then half the size of crowds the swines were getting when they weren't premiers just a few short years ago

is a good result

no
there will be only one word to describe the turnout this afternoon based on the past


decline

One team was first in 2012. The other team was last in 2012. Its a home game of the team who are last, a club with 1 year behind them and the smallest following in the AFL. The game is expected to be very one sided again.

If they get a crowd that is twice the NRLs average each year that will be a great result and another smack in the face of the NRL

AD said on ABC grandstand today that memberships have already passed last years total figure yet still had 4 months of rises to go. =D>

LOL @ a throwballer talking about non heartland crowds. Here Dave, let's lower the bar to make it sporting. How many regular season crowds over 25k did the nRL get in 2012 outside their heartland?

I'll give you a clue; it's less than the 8 the AFL had.

Heres another easy one for ya. How many people attended nRL games outside your heartland in 2012? Was it less than the 767,749 that went to see the Lions, Suns, Giants and Swans? How much less? You go on and get the figure so the rest of us can have a good laugh.

I was trying to think of an analogy of the argument you're attempting to make, and then it came to me:

It's like a cripple trying to ridicule Usain Bolt for running the 100m slightly slower than his previous race.

25k at the dogs/lions game.

23k for giants v swans. Decent effort for a giants home game and 1st v 18th. =D>

they said it would need to be 30K to be decent

I told them it wouldn't be & prepare for tears & feet stamping

they scoffed

it wasn't

& they claim its still a good crowd

have you ever seen such complete F wits in all your life

you are a fuckstick

your code is failing
it cannot retain an ounce of decent interest outside the ********* states in the sth
it is heading down the s bend

the 767K outside yr heartland for 4 sides in 2012

it was 750K.. with 2 sides .. just a few years ago

that equals
decline

Meanwhile, the nRL in Melbourne is in decline with their average crowd falling 2,000 in their premiership year.

It's going to get ugly once News pulls the plug on them and they become shit.

Here's what I said liar Dave

As it is they got a crowd double the size of the storm despite the game going a giants home game! It was also 2 1/2 times the tigers game last weekend!
