By the colours and cheer in the crowd.

I suppose as a RL supporter youre not used to fans travelling interstate

Because we have jobs and don't travel as often,

As for you AFL fans, you guys have all the time in the world. They should build centrelink booths outside your footy stadium, to make picking up your weekly cheques more convenient. The queue would be as longer then the snack bar.

On FTA its about 50-80k usually, plus foxtel. So in reality it approaches 100k. Not sure this is anything to laugh at. The NRL's 9.30pm game in Brisbane got less than 100k on Friday night, and RL is supposed to be heartland in QLD

There is a point why the AFL scheduled the hawks / bombers / pies tigers against gws at home.
They provide the fans

I dont care what sport 1 month old..

That would be a big tv viewership to watch a win like that..

you were there obviously

What youre saying is 7k Hawks fans travelled to Sydney. What does that say about a Raiders game with 8k yesterday?

the giants are a brand new team in an expansion market in a city that already has a succesful AFL side. They also never had a season where they have finished higher than the bottom 2 on the ladder. its hardly surprising they had Satuday arvo ratings this low.

1 afternoon game doesnt equal their average. Prime-time against a decent opposition would result in far higher ratings

It was a prime time game at 7:30
But yeah the demons do suck

For a team that aflhouse has made sure is top 4 every yr .
They compromised the comp to make sure of it .

whether you want to believe it or not the Giants crowd far larger than any theyve been getting vs big Melbourne teams just like the Hawks. This wasnt because there were extra Hawkes fans

All the but but but in the world can't change the fact that they rate shockingly in Syd ..
