Broncos V Dolphins @ the Gabba

[truthbomber]

almost sold out
still months away , with tickets only going on sale on Tuesday
theres only a few hundred left

wow
the first time a football game has sold the venue out since the 2001 Lions Rugby tour ( 37,473) & that was the first time since 1954 when nearly 50,000 watched Australia play Great Britan in Rugby League

only the 3rd sellout for football in 69 years
wow

[GlobalRugbyLeague]

Should be a good game there.

[Fred]

Why is it at the Gabba? Just curious.

womens sooker world cup fwedy
Suncorp unavailable

still
odd scheduling as they're locking out 13K fans they'd of got at Suncorp.

RL moves in
takes over

[Bbear]

if the Lions good form continues they should sell out the Gabba come finals time !
AFL is still growing in Brisbane
Let the Dolphins and Broncos cannabalise each others fan base.

So you need a Finals game to sell out ..lol the AFLOL sellout …1000s under capacity .

& going by crowds there’s no cannabalising going on .
Just wishful thinking by a fumblefan who sees the Aflol getting pushed into the background by the Phins success .

Wow a rugby League game selling out other than Origin.

I am shocked. Well done bum sniffers.

awwwww Petey

you ok bud ?
you seem a bit unhappy

I mean
I would be too If I followed that bumbling Vicderpian shit in QLD atm

Your beloved Paddle pop wions are running 2nd in the aflol but...
apart from expat twats from Melbourne like yourself

no one cares

The Phins have arrived & already have one sellout in their first year
one more then the wions have had after 36 years of trying

&
as for your other bit of spasticity
only Origin sells out ?
what was going on 2 weeks ago when there was 3 sellouts for the NRL in 3 days


Broncos have had about 5 sellout crowds too ( north of 50K) with Darren Lockyers last club game attracting the biggest crowd for one of their games including finals of 51,817 in 2011
Biggest crowd ever was Manly taking a home game to Brisbane to Play the Broncos in 2016 with , 52,498 attending

but yea
only origins sellout eh Petey

Dolphins owning the Wions already
& the Broncos have done it for 35 years

A few of things:
Dolphins have done far better than I expected in their first year.
A better scheduling would have put their average attendance up,
Bit of a shame that the gabba is the ground for arguably their biggest game for the year, so far.
They are not, yet, already owning the lions, as the lions average attendance this year is, not by much, ahead of the dolphins.
I expect the average gap to increase for the lions…not by a lot…but the lions will have a higher average than the dolphins this year.
The Broncos are doing pretty good as well.

much delusion

they've past them like they were standing still
if the phins hadn't paid a game at Redcliffe & another on a thursday night , they'd be ahead on Average
The Broncs have played a couple of Thursday games too
they'd be even further ahead otherwise
more then 60K will watch their 2 games in Brisb this week including one on Thurs

just 54K watched the 2nd placed wions on FTA in Brisbane up against .... just... 54K
the Phins & Broncos would get 4 times that for a game on 9 & add the veiwers on PTV ..& we have 2 teams far more popular then the paddle pop wions
54K is embarrassing... just appalling

wions
3rd in Brisvegas , a distant 3rd
ahead of the reds & roar tho ... so yaaaayyyyy well done

[truthbomber]

victorian rules is still just a niche sport in Qld , same as most of NSW bar the thin strip north of the murray
there is little broad appeal past ex pats & their off spring

nothing is changing

[Bbear]

Australian rules has been in in Qld for over a hundred years.
It's growing, not as fast as it shoud but it is still slowly growing.
Dolphins and broncos won't change the growth chart.
AFL is here to stay in Qld for the long term.
30 years ago very small footprint, now two professional teams supported by true locals.

a tiny sport back in 1987
not much bigger in 2023

in 2059 ?
marginally bigger ... maybe

but miniscule compared to league & the NRL
miniscule

[Quolls2019]

So how did the NRL go with the apparent sellout Gabba for Broncos vs Dolphins? Close to a capacity crowd? Nup, thousands of empty seats.

But it’s an oval configuration I hear the leaguies say.

Brisbane Lions vs Richmond Tigers 29/6/23 (Thats a Thursday and not a derby) 30,022.
Brisbane Broncos vs Dolphins 1/7/23 (Thats a Saturday and a derby) 30,606.

So on a typically poor (according to truthbomber) attendance night and against the derby that everyone in Brisbane has been lining up for, and on the best attending night, on the same ground NRL, gets 600 more attendees.
Yep thats definite evidence that the Lions and the AFL are standing still or even, heaven forbid, going backwards.
If this trend continues the Lions won't be a clear second, they will be closely threatening no 1 position.
