Your kidding yourself if you thing Victorian Football is ahead of Soccer.Beaussie wrote: ↑Sat Jan 14, 2017 4:18 pmTaking into account all relevant factors such as crowds, membership, sponsorship, tv ratings, media coverage, participation etc, etc, how would you rate and rank the codes in terms of popularity in NSW.
For me, I think the AFL has done a magnificent job in a relatively short time to get Australian Football into 2nd rank behind the dominate Rugby League. This I say is hard to deny when you look at the huge gap in crowds, memberships numbers, sponsorship dollars, tv ratings, media etc compared to Soccer and Rugby Union. You gotta feel for Rugby Union. I would have once said they were ranked 2nd. Sadly the reality for that code today is a 4th ranking behind Soccer. How times change eh?
Anyway, thought it would be interesting to see your rankings and justifications. Here is mine:
1st. NRL - Rugby League
2nd. AFL - Australian Football
3rd. FFA - Soccer
4th. ARU - Rugby Union
Here is a little fact for the very stupid and deluded category you belong in.
AFL NSW PLAYER NUMBERS 95,100 players registered
FOOTBALL NSW NUMBERS 324,000 players registered
So football (Soccer) has over 3 times the player numbers as AFL in NSW, yet somehow you think AFL is infront?? Hmm, nice logic dickhead.
