again somehow we must marval at this while the Lions and Swans achievements of consistently doing this are ignored.

Brisbane is a city of 3 million people, league is considered the dominant code and the second professional team can only achieve this

who ignores ??

Swans Crowds are brilliant (very good) (tv figures hold up well too)

Lions crowds are good (averaging 30k) pass 3 seasons,
remembering they are the most successful team of this Century.
Tv Ratings is what lets the Lions down.

Correct, Dolphins should be getting These decent crowds, my point is they are building and getting bigger.

NRL could add another 2 teams in SEQ and get 30k crowds

EASTS and IPSWICH would be massive success stories.

EASTS are just as Rich as the BRONCOS AND DOLPHINS

IPSWICH HAS one of the biggest GOLDEN WEST corridors in the country (untouched)

they are constantly belittled on here even despite playing out of stadium thats capacity seems around 31/32k

the broncos have been one of the more successful professional sporting of the past 30 years also rarely missing the finals are averaging round 40k with regular Friday evening games so hard to see the redcliff averaging much more than they already do

Well QUOLLS with 1 game home game to Go

YEAR 1, 2 and 3

(averaging over 30k at Suncorp)

With KAYO at Redcliffe games and Darwin all being Sell outs.

Overseas for a while.
Not seen much footy at all.
Will do some stats when I get back.
If I am wrong, I’m wrong…won’t hide or spin it.
They appear to be doing pretty well.

Not my worst prediction for this year.
That would be the suns.

AFL - Wildcard Final

Western Bulldogs vs Collingwood Magpies @MCG
Crowd: 81,036

Good crowd, but I would have expected closer to 90,000 with Collingwood playing. Cracker of a game right to the last kick.



Pies fans fighting each other.

The AFL needs to fix the ticketing issues out, many games are stated to be sell outs but at the MCG, SCG, Gabba venues but are several thousand off the listed capacities the NRL doesn’t seem to have such issues on the occasions they do have a sell out

Problem is stadium members (at the G, SCG, AO and OS) as well as club members with reserved seating not showing.

Other codes when on the odd occasional sell out don’t have these problems. Is it they don’t have many seasonal ticket holders?
