more BS from you Dave!Raiderdave wrote:your memberships are almost as much a sham as your pay TV ratingsQueenslandISAFL wrote:but our memberships and tv ratings are way up this yearRaiderdave wrote:
the VFL 2012 finals attendances are down about 80,000 on 2011
this is just a reflection of the season as a whole for the victorian game .... interest is at an all time low as a result of the woeful standard
I believe 2013 will be a continuation of this ..... & the VFL average will drop below 30,000 for the first time in about 20 years
this is what you get when you expand before you are ready
the greedy .. egomaniacal VFL was simply too cocky & full of itself & it will pay the price for the next ten years
here endith the lesson
Plus this is just a small sacrifice to expand our game, in 5-10 years time the gws and suns should be selling out games.
ie
Adelaide has over 50,000 members
yet averaged only 35,000
the Swines .. 33,000
average 24,000 ( with SCG members taken out .. its really about 20,000)
VFL memberships in the main are nothing but $20 bumber sticker .. fridge magnet .. or cat memberships & the above proves it
its part of the greater smoke n mirror games played by the VFL
all is not what it seems
you swallow the BS served up without question like brained washed merinos .. baaaaaaa ...baaaaaaaa
when will you lot wake up to this
The AFL have 3 times the number of members compared to the NRL. Our crowds are double but we have 8 teams outside our biggest state, resulting in few local derbies, where as the NRL only have 6! Add to this we play regular games in Tasmania. The difference in membership numbers are accurately demonstrated in crowd figures, so if ours are exaggerated so are the NRLs.
