We won a title ELEVEN years ago. By no measure is that "in this decade".
I make no secret of the fact the 'Dogs position in membership could be significantly stronger and hope it continues to grow. The reason I highlight South Sydney is because they are an outlier when it comes to ticketed/non-ticketed ratios and I'm trying to communicate that I thought that gap would be bridged further after a GF win - a completely reasonable proposition, not an attack or "backhand".
OK Bulldogs won 11 years ago , I correct my comment to this century vs decade.
You still focus on ticketed/non ticketed
1) ignore the importance of non ticketed member outside of Sydney.
When will you consider that the NRL makes more money from MEDIA sponsorship , TV?? The importance of extended viewer interest around Australia , increases the NRL media appeal and therefore also sponsor $$$??? If you concede that increased non sydney membership is important , then why are you continually hitting on a stupid ratio which ignores that?
2) if the ticketed /non ticketed continues to be your fixation , please provide the numbers , instead of blindly using the mantra.
3) what you are really saying is that ticketed numbers are the most important. OK what are they by each club.
AND then ADD the ANZ membership by each club , because clearly an ANZ member will not by a ticketed membership for any club. This is where your "blinkered" focus no ticketed /non ticketed becomes even more boring.
