I wonder who's going to win the battle of the battle of Monday? Can the AFL's one game beat TWO nRL games?

I think we all know the answer is a hilarious yes.

10,572 for the NZ warriors. Looks grossly exaggerated, but anyway, still a dismal number

Not a good start for the NRL on Easter Monday

76,300 at the MCG for a cracker!

Patrick Keane on twitter:

Round one attendance tally of just over 365k represents the third-best single round in the game's history.

Average over 40k for 9 games played in each of the 5 largest states in Australia!

Wow, just bloody wow! =D> =D>

Thats a total of 365,867 for round 1 AFL season 2013.
An average of 40,652. Thats the third highest round total in AFL history, less then 2k total off a record.

Hilarious new challenge. Can 2 nRL games today combined get HALF as many people as the AFL's one?

They'll need a combined 38,150. Game 1 had just over 10k, requiring a crowd of 28k for the 2nd game.

Good luck fellas.

Lol

Last year involved the giants first ever game with clear reasons why the crowds were higher. This makes 2013 a fantastic result.

Down about 1500 on last year. Or another way of putting it would be that its about as big as 3 NRL rounds.

If they had have played north v Collingwood at the MCG it would have easily been the number 1. They only got 41k at etihad and would have got 60k at the MCG

18,014 for rooster v eels, two large NRL clubs...

NRL Easter Monday.....28,586 from 2 games

AFL.........76,3600

Yep, Drac was right. The AFL more than doubled both NRL games added together! =D> =D>

Its quite simple..... The AFL round average was lower than last year! And you AFL fairies have been banging on about how your code is growing!!!

I think some people in this forum should just cop it sweet instead of coming up with excuse after excuse. But, but,but!

Nice try. Last years round 1 was the second highest single round ever. This was the third and only a thousand or so behind.

Oh doom and gloom!
