your crowds aint great, whether compared locally or internationally. Fantastic for Rugby league as a sport compared to other rugby leagues though. However, AFL crowds are on average more than double NRL ones. These are facts.

Also facts: In 2012 the ARLC set a target of 20,000 per game by 2017. 2012 was the last year the NRL averaged more thaan 16,000 per game. Last time the AFL had crowds as low as the NRL it was 1945.

I dont care if you claim Wednesday nights off the back of Origin as evidence of crowd supremacy on that one day of the week. Over the year is another story.

And typical of the fumblers to chuck a hissy fit when we're critical but for completely the wrong reason

We aren't critical of the crowd ,what we're critical of is the fog horn leg horn approach to everything you wankers do ,
a bigger pack of blow hards does not exist on this planet

Over stating & over predicting everything becomes hilarious when you're not even close to the mark in the end. I mean has there ever been an awful crowd for a big game that hasn't been over stated ?
There wouldn't be many ..
Heres a tip, get your hands out of your Y fronts & put the mega phone down for a change & you might avoid leaguies laughing at you

AFL crowds measured against other countries football codes are an outlier. The current holder of the soccer world cup, France, average 20k per game in Ligue 1 with a population of nearly 70M. Prior to covid the AFL averaged around 35k per game in a country of 25M, more than half of whom do not have AFL as their No 1 sport.

As such their crowds should only be compared against their own domestic comp. Meaning last nights GF replay was a poor crowd.

Thanks.

Means no such thing, as always you don’t wish to compare a well attended code against your code that most fans don’t want to go and see.
By your logic this forum is pointless as each code should only be compared to themselves?

Strangely enough I can't agree with this assessment. AFL is an outlier. An outlier statistically is a number in a set of data that is much greater or much less than the vast majority of other data. As such the outlier at either end of the data spectrum is ignored and the majority data is used for comparison.

So unfortunately the AFL data gets punted pal. Hope that helps.

Also: Having said that it is a great credit to the game that it attracts such outlier crowds. Bravo!

Outlier: anything that the NRL can’t beat the AFL at.

SOO is not a regular season game….if you want an outlier that’s it….the onl6 gam3 with decent attendance anD that’s pretty much all you’ve got.
Yes your state of origin kills afl’s, oh that’s right although they started SOO their fans prefer to watch the club games.
