NRL record breaking start to year

NRL.com

Tue 16th April, 2:00pm

The Telstra Premiership has recorded the best start to an NRL season on record with crowds 5.6% higher than 2012, averaging 18,389 per game.

Saturday’s Round six game between the Rabbitohs and the Storm posted the highest audience of any program on subscription television in 2013 attracting an audience of 379,319.

This was in addition to the 32,671 fans who made it the biggest attendance for a regular season match featuring the Melbourne Storm in Sydney.

Across the Nine and Win Networks ratings have lifted 6.6% on 2013.

Fans are also engaging on-line with a 38% lift in number of unique viewers through nrl.com, further lifts of 24% across the club network and a 67% increase in people using mobile technology.

At the same time club memberships have risen to 215,000 to set yet another record for the year to date.

Other highlights across the opening rounds include:

The biggest ever attendance for Heritage Round (174,409), surpassing the previous record of 162,984 set in 2010.

The Round 4 Bulldogs v Rabbitohs game posting: the biggest attendance for a regular season stand-alone since the NRL began in 1998 (51,686)

The biggest Sydney Rugby League crowd since the St George v Souths match at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 1967 (50,153)

The Roosters and the Rabbitohs attracting the highest number of Sydney viewers recorded for a season opener since the Oz-Tam panel was introduced in 2001.

=D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>

Ratings on Nine are only up because of Thursday night games in the first 5 rounds. Nine's Sunday afternoon ratings have been horrible this year. Sunday's game last round had an audience of less than 1k in Adelaide.

Is only early in the season.

The AFLs crowds are at record levels. Do you see them bragging?

lol 32k to a top of the table clash
a record or 51k to a home and away game
yep RL the biggest game in Australia,

I think it is good to see nrl crowds and membership grow ... Working off such a low baseline they needed to I think . Smart of nrl to quote percentages as 20 percent rise from say 10000 sounds better than a 2000 rise on attendance.

because even if you are too stupid to work it out
the VFL know their record is only due to extra games & in fact they are behind where they were just 2 years ago when adjusting this factor in

the NRL's is a record without assistance from extra teams
if they had played an extra 6 games

holy snappers ... how far ahead would they be with attendances & TV audiences =D> =D> =D>

Yep 2 live games for the first 4 rounds puts us up 6%..............4 extra Live games in 2013 and up 6%.......................

Not to mention up 17% on Fox................ =D> =D>

Imagine it were 4 live FTA games a round Raider................


Fucken Massacre would be understating it hey????......................

Imagine if the AFL sold out like the nRL and had Monday night games and Thursday night games.

Fox ratings for nRL are only up because of Sunday night games.

nRL... sell outs.

I love the delusion of Dave's argument, which is basically "Turkmenestan's GDP growth rate was slightly higher than China's in 2012, therefore, LOOK OUT CHINA!"

You Turkmenestanis are a joke. Melbourne, one of the smallest clubs in the comp, during their worst form slump in a centuy, attracted 18k against an INTERSTATE TEAM last round. Parramatta can't even get 12k against Cronulla.

But yea, keep beleiving that Turkmenestan will be bigger than China one day. Keep chasing that rainbow guys.
