That is common for the ABS. If a number is below a certain percentage, it will appear as zero.

the ABS findings that have no one playing RL in the ACT ... these findings beaussie ?
you believe this report to be accurate do you ?
RL numbers are obviously so minor they aren't worth reporting by the ABS. Comprende
the ACT's numb one sport is RL
like I said
is it the numb one played game ... no
neither is RL in NSW
neither is flogball in Vic
participation is a minor indicator of popularity .. soccer being the proof of this

So you keep saying.

Facts however don't support this. The ACT is Rugby Union heartland with the Brumbies and the code easily being the biggest sport in town.

Brumbies have more members, bigger crowds, first dibs on Canberra Stadium and unlike the Raiders, corporate support and a sponsor.
Number 1 sport in the ACT is Rugby Union.

And as they have first option on Bruce Stadium, that makes the venue an RU ground.

I think we got them for memberships last year
their crowds were marginally bigger & only because the Raiders had a poor season on field
the Raiders are the stadiums biggest tennents .. 12 games to the brumbies 8
the brumbies are broke ... dead broke
they continually go to the Govt for assistance
the Raiders are a very wealthy club owning land in 2 prime locations ... & 10 licensed clubs
RL numb 1 sport in the ACT

they have first option when they put their dates in 4 months ahead of us
but ask stadium management who are their biggest tennents
the Raiders of course
by a long way

That much is obvious. Clearly it's the Brumbies. Your struggling outfit where told where to go when there was a scheduling clash. Says it all really.
