Stadiums are metro sexual hipster soft cocks .

Storm crowds are even bigger when there is an AFL blockbuster on at the MCG during the day and the storm play straight after that night. Tons of people wonder from the AFL game over to the NRL game. When I've attended Saturday night games at Ammi Park all the pubs in the area like Swan st etc are full with AFL and NRL fans...it´s a great area and full of atmosphere. If the NRL had a clue they would factor this in more...but that would require thinking.

AFL and the storm co-exist well down there.

in sydney, the leaguies get their knickers in a knot, call it AFL...deride the swans as much as they can....talk about TV numbers.

they're both f**king sports where grown up men are running around carrying and chasing balls FFS

[big hit!]

and it's got to be asked again....which idiot at the NRL thought it was a good idea to schedule matches at 6pm on a friday night?

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Brisbane never disappoints.

Tonight's 6pm game will be lucky to be 5,000.

I'm not entirely sure. They sold it as people could go to the ground straight from work, or they could include the game in post-work drinks at the pub, or for families to sit down and eat dinner watching the game together.

But I don't see where the money actually comes in except for maybe advertising? Foxtel won't get more subscriptions from it, the grounds are too far away from most work places, and 6pm most families are still getting home and getting dinner ready.

A monkey with down syndrome can schedule games better than the NRL

Yeh, my assumption was that they wanted a lead in to the 7.30 game people with a subscription would stay there instead of going to 9.

Seems like a massive waste of a game if that it the WHOLE purpose, but FOX wouldnt lose out from it. Sure, fans lose and the NRL loses, but why should Fox care?

In a very light on strat plan released by the nrl there is a target in it of:
“ Support NRL clubs in developing increased and exciting game day experiences for fans”. This is the only strat goal relating to crowds. No ambitious target for crowd avg increases for this mob lol.

Honestly, this seems like a good choice. This game would get 5k regardless of when it is played.

At least this means no other crowd is effected by the shitty slot.

That’s nuts, no-one with Fox is watching the 7:30 game on Ch9. Why would you? Sadly the viewing figures are pretty good so we won’t see any change for 5 years despite the disaster on crowds. Clubs and nrl have got their fox money so they won’t care.

To be fair that looks like a summary document. Most of the 'measurement' don't actually include any measures at all. I'd hope that more detailed documents within the organisation include measurable targets - though, to be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't.
