Broncos win Brisbane TV battle with AFL

[Kingytek]

How about some real proof like the official Oztam figures. All we have here is mere hearsay :roll:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, That shut him up!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Thomas]

Interestingly, is the ANZAC test between Australia and NZ going to be shown live?

Not to my knowledge, I doubt it will be, it'll just take the normal FNF timeslot.

However, if it is otherwise, could someone point it out please.

Doesn't worry me though, I got my ticket

Cheers.

Thats #@#$ing stupid. You have a blockbuster international test between two fierce rivals...the home team having lost to the visitors last time it was played..and the game is bloody well shown delayed??!!

Lucky you've got a ticket.......not so lucky for me.

:arrow: Back to BigFaggy

ah, can't come up with a reply huh? at least you've come to grips with your codes imminent demise.... Plaudits all around.. You know your codes in trouble when you are celebrating this result in a league 'stronghold' :lol: :lol:

How about some real proof like the official Oztam figures. All we have here is mere hearsay :roll:

The NRL match didnt even make the top 50 let alone the top 20, so we are not likely to see any links forthcoming.

Why oztam? Why not AC Neilson? Is that because oztam only does the majoy cities and AC does rural aswell so the margins will be closer. Cause we all know rural QLD is League country.

ah yeah, because we all know how "random" the households were that they chose :roll: and its why they were scrapped as the official ratings source. Nothing like a ratings company with its hand in the money jar. Thankfully the ACCC put an end to that corrupt farce, now we see the real picture.

much like there was no link to your story. Thing is that I think most here believe you unlike Beaussie despite the fact people have scanned the paper for him.

 

[syphon]

i'm not disputing iggy plops ratings, i believe them. i havent seen any story on it and i dont have access to the CM. Everyone has access to the Australian if they want to verify it.

PS: out of the top 50 programs listed in the Australian, the Lions come in 6th... and since the NRL match does not feature in that list, i'll take his word that it came in 4th, and pushed the AFL to 7th

 

[Mr Angry]

Now see Syphon, you appear to be missing the point.

The AFL moron on these boards has been crapping on about QLD and Brisbane being a AFL heartland now.
You at least realise what a crock that is.
That is all this thread is about.
You have already stated Brisbane is a RL heartland. Can you inform that freakin dopey shite beaussie.

 

[syphon]

I dont think anybody in their right mind believes Brisbane follows AFL more than RL. I see lots of people argue Australia as a whole follows AFL more, or that the AFL have made significant inroads in Brisbane (no disputing that), but there's no way more people follow AFL in Brisbane than RL. The Lions probably have more passionate supporters willing to go to games or purchase memberships than the Broncos do, but RL as a whole is still a long way ahead of the AFL in general

Hooray!

Beaussie take note!

I would agree.
Personally I do not see why each state cannot support both and AFL and NRL team. Obviously more than one team in the code more popular in that state.
I go to both, surely I am not the only one.

 

[ibeme]

You'd only have to ask a few people in Brisbane to name as many AFL players outside of the Lions, and then ask the same people to name as many NRL players outside the Broncos as they can to see the difference between support for the two codes.

The same would apply in Sydney.

 

[El Diablo]

Didn't Bea claim Queensland was AFL heartland, not just Brisbane?

Yes and the AFL game was shown live into every market, but Sydney. So the big NATIONAL GAME could only come 22nd with the three-time premiers playing the most recogisable and supported androtop ball team around.

The Three-time premiers in the hugely promoted grand final rematch at the highly desirable live 7.30pm timeslot, still couldn't beat the Broncos.

That was the AFL's "state of Origin" match in Brisbane yet it still failed to win the battle of the codes.

And the league still has the Origin plus a plethora of big Broncos games (replayed with ads) up it's sleeve which smash that AFL grand final rematch figure. Oh and the Test will hammer it as well.

And Syphon don't use the excuse that AFL TV figure was restricted because there were 36,000 at the ground. Home replayed Broncos matches regularly make the top 10 - have done for years.

 

[RLS]

You also can't try to inflate the AFL ratings by using the crowd argument, because everybody knows those Collingwood supporters will follow the team anywhere, so if you take the 36,000 at the game, take out the Collingwood supporters, 5-6000, that leaves 30,000. Then take out the ex. Vics 10-15000, that leaves 15,000. Then take out the bandwagon jumpers 5 - 10000, that leaves about 5,000 Qldrs at the game.

Why don't people go to Broncos games, but instead are content to be armchair fans?

The Broncos lost a lot of passionate supporters due to a perceived selfish attitude which took hold during and after the superleague war.

Plus there are many hardcore rugby league supporters up in Brisbane who never supported the Broncos, either due to their allegiance to a Sydney team or the old Brisbane comp.

You'll find many of these league fans at the Origin games and maybe 2 or 3 of the Broncos' more attractive games.

I can see the bearthur types spruiking about the the big crowd that will probably attend the Sydney v Collingwood game. It will be the only AFL game on in Australia that weekend. 70 percent of the crowd will be made of of Vic/Collingwood supporters making the trip to Sydney for a holiday to see their team. It will be hyped up as a massive event with Eddie spitting out the usual banter in the lead-up. the script has already been written. :sleeper:

We have seen what the Swans draw in the first two games. 21,000 and 25,000. No big deal for the only team in the state. The Tv ratings are also shocking for the only team in the state.

 

[Cricketer]

In the only instance where the Broncos are likely to be challenged by the Lions up in Brisbane on TV, the boys from Red Hill have won the battle.

The replayed Broncos v Roosters game had 50,000 more viewers than the live and heavily promoted Lions v Collingwood bore fest. According to 4BC's Greg Carey, they were 50,000 in front in both the average and peak audiences.

Last year all we heard was crowing AFL fans up north regarding the Lions v Coll game defeating the Good Friday Broncos game. In reality, they only beat the Broncos' peak figure, while the league had the higher average. But of course the media preferred to focus on the PEAK for the sake of the story and the good old AFL.

This year the media has been very quiet about the results of this year's battle, mainly because the Broncos took the Lions down on all counts.

Of course both games were on different nights, but that didn't stop the media billing it as a "battle for the remote controls of Brisbane."

The Lions failed to come even close to the Broncos for the remainder of 2003 and methinks that will be the case again this year.

And as for games not involving the Lions in Brisbane, the test pattern does better. :lol:

Brisbane still is a rugby league town.

Well done RL for beating the likes of The Flinstones and Inspector Morse............I'd be proud too.

 

[zulu]

It also beat every other show on that week bar three.

Game, set and match to the rugby league in Brisbane, again.
