NRL looks to be slowly dying in my opinion - given equivalent crowd numbers.


Crowd numbers don't mean a lot in the end, and it's mostly in Melbourne that big crowd numbers happen, the big one to show that was the recent GWS v WCE that had under 15k compared to the Matildas who got a record crowd at Penrith of about 17k, go Matildas!!
Was the lowest crowd for an AFL final since 1916

and if NRL is supposedly dying what about the Sate of Origin, the biggest TV event in the country


Crowd number don't mean a lot - ORLY?

http://thenewdaily.com.au/sport/rugby-league/2017/08/03/nrl-crowds/

Need I go on? This goes a LOT deeper than just how many turn up to watch a game. It's the whole membership thing, advertising, etc, etc. This is lost income to the relevant teams. I'm not saying NRL is dead, but it's plainly obvious there are some major concerns over crowd numbers at games - hence all these articles on the subject. Every time I watch a report on some NRL game, there seem to be few people in the stands - lots of empty seats - just sayin' Graeme. AFL gets 3-4 times the number of bums on seats at a game. Crowd numbers do mean a lot.

Edit: Apol's Graeme for initially using that "other" Graeme by mistake.

Thanks for the heads up and now corrected with apologies to Graeme for incorrect use of that "other" Graeme.

P.S. I knew there wasn't something quite right about you Seppala! :P

P.P.S. Ironically, I hail from Wagga Wagga, which in the local Aboriginal dialect, means Crows or "Place of many crows". :roll:
