Are police numbers counted at the sooker?

[King-Eliagh]

Anyone else have anything substantial they can contribute? I haven't seen it in sooker either but considering their tv ratings and desperateness to look bigger than they are, there's a fair chance.

I think it'd look great for the game if they added the exhorbitant amount of cops attending. And I'm right with this assertion.

the NRL fans are mocking another codes crowds
oh the irony!

[Foolproof]

it is not a fair assumption, despite that, it has been shown that Rugby League are the only ones doing it, no evidence the other way only in your own little fantasy.

It's just as likely that the NRL clubs are the only ones who have been caught doing it. Logic suggests every sport does it. It's a competitive world after all. There have been a number of times that I question some AFL attendances, particularly at the Giants home ground.

[Foolproof]

more lies raiderdave? just because womens cricket gets more people to attend than the Raiders, that must really annoy you. More people go to watch womens cricket than the Raiders.

almost as many adults play volleyball as they play rugby league, and more people go to watch womens cricket than watch the Raiders

I don't think you have any room to call someone a liar when this is a total lie. Both those games would struggle to pull maybe a couple of thousand people at the most. The Raiders have a record low almost three times that amount.

[post_hoc]

What?

[Foolproof]

You read it. The Raiders pull bigger crowds than those other sports. So you lied.

[post_hoc]

I mentioned one other sport, women's cricket, I used the same argument that they were making against football, ie one game that was played as a double header with the men's game had a biggish crowd.

[Foolproof]

You mentioned volleyball as well.

[post_hoc]

In terms of participation numbers not spectators

[Foolproof]

Doesn't matter. That's still a lie.

[post_hoc]

How?

[AFLcrap1]

Ok show the ADULT participation numbers for Volleyball .
Registered players please.
.

[post_hoc]

ABS have the figures around 100,000 I believe

[post_hoc]

so from that we can assume that Rugby League must be about 80,000 less then?

Or is it that people play volleyball at the local PYC and those figure aren't recorded by Volleyball Australia (not what they are called, but can't be arsed looking)

Like I have said if we are going to dismiss statistically valid data then we have to dismiss oztam ratings, there has been extensive comment that oztam does not reflect ABC and SBS viewers (considering it is owned by the commercial networks) it is not surprising.

[post_hoc]

Statistically based surveys to gather data on what people are doing, yea way different

I assume those League reports are independently audited like all company reports?
