Even though I'm banned from big footy i still look at some of the comments that are posted on there and there is a genuine hate of the midgets with the concessions that they get and also like us a lot posters on on there don't believe the crowd numbers put out by the midgets at times.
I'm sure you would agree with us and some fellow posters on big footy when we say that some home crowd figures given out at times for gws, the suns and the lions are questionable to say the least.

IOW the Midgets are Fidgets???

Ive said before on here and elsewhere that I personally have some issues with the crowd and membership figures reported by both expansion clubs. That said, my twitter feed and site deal in reported data as I dont consider my eyes to be a primary source of data.

Geez look at all rugby league fans turning off in droves because the storm are so boring to watch.

Also it’s crazy how much of a sleeping giant the tigers are. Would be awesome to see them back near the top. The 2005 tigers were insanely popular and I think there are a lot of people who grew up having a soft spot for them even if they aren’t tigers fans.

We were insanely popular back then cause the people liked attacking football. Not that Melbourne and Roosters aren't great attacking outfits but that tigers team could concede 30 points and still win games.

I think there was a stat saying 80% of our tries were scored from our own half.

That 05 premiership probably made us viable up until now. I struggle to see if we would exist today if it wasn't for that premiership win raking in 1000s of fans and revenue

f**k off CH9. The sooner Fox get simucast rights for the GF the better!

It'd be interesting to know the variables in that in regards to time slots, simucast on Nine etc. Still great result to see our only expansion team so well viewed.

I dare say that wouldve rated pretty well.

Lowest rating GF ever?

Dunno what happened, raiders don’t usually rate well, but would have expected better for a GF, especially when regional audiences were the biggest drop.

Record rating for NSW Cup

The Canterbury Cup NSW has finished the season on a high note with the Grand Final extra-time thriller between Newtown Jets and Wentworthville Magpies returning the highest ratings ever for the competition.

The Womens GF was not a good lead in or result.

The ratings hopefully has them rethinking.

So half of Melbourne didn't watch because the Storm weren't playing.

 

[tri_colours]

That regional number seems far to low .

Regional 775,000 (Qld 216k NNSW 241k SNSW 200k Vic 72k Tas 34k WA 12k)

 

[Billythekid]

Not that surprised. The raiders are probably one of our lowest rating sides and with how they’ve been treated in terms of coverage they’re profile just isn’t all that high. Whilst it would have been great to see them win the NRL never managed to sell the ‘fairy tale’ storyline like they have in recent years.

Add that to one of the least popular teams in Sydney who everyone assumed would win at the start of the year and you’ve got a recipe for low ratings.

The NRL really have a lot to work moving forward both in terms of crowds and ratings.

 

[wittyfan]

I'm tipping 1.91 million in the metros and 788k in the regionals.

Lol, I wasn't far off!

 

[Perth Red]

So half of Melbourne didn't watch because the Storm weren't playing.

2/3rds of last year watched without the Storm being involved is the other way you could look at it!
What the other 85% of Sydney were doing rather than watching their local codes GF is a bigger worry.
