Battle of Brisbane: Broncos v Lions v Dolphins

[Quolls2019]

Lions Average 25,120
Broncos Average 29,523

Lions pretty good considering they are in the “heart” of rugby league country.

In 3 years, after the dolphin effect, they will be top.

In crowd order.
Broncos 1 to go.

2023
Dolphins V Broncos
52500
Dolphins V Cowboys
47500
Dolphins V Roosters
42500
Dolphins V Titans
40000

no game between the Broncos & Dolphins will draw under 50K for the first 10 years ( 2 each year)

so
The kitty kats will go from the 4th biggest football team in QLD this year
to
5th in 2023
& not much will change anytime soon

Looks to me like the Lions are second - not fourth.

I have stated that the Dolphins will go well in the first season…then drop off gradually and reduce the Broncos crowds as a consequence.
Your 10 year prediction…well we will wait and see.

As far as crowds go you can’t give AFL crowds as a comparison to Rugby league.

He's trying to prove that Brisbane's figures are based on on field performance - not natural following. I proved him wrong with 2017's average still being higher than the Titans (2017 was the year the Lions got the wooden spoon).

Lions bailed out by AFL not long ago even after 4 straight grand finals. Those numbers are temporary

Rivalry helped other clubs.

No one has been bailed out by the AFL for years. Prove me wrong - with links to back it up.

Cheers for sharing those figures. Interesting reading. Footy is certainly doing well in the Sunshine State.

From memory, the Lions have more members than the Broncos too?

[Bbear]

Membership numbers for the lions growing, 40400
A big lead over the Broncos this year.

viewtopic.php?t=7290

Broncos membership record was 36000 in 2018.
https://www.broncos.com.au/news/2018/12 ... d-numbers/

Dolphins will only cannabalises these membership numbers

I do think Dolphins is a great moniker for a footy club and will make for great merchandise opportunities
How a team on the Gold coast ( where there a real dolphins ) ended up with a silly meaningless name like the Titans, has me dumbfounded.
