New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

[Perth Red]

Donkey logic

Reds crowds werent massive in 1995 so wont be now
But Gold Coast and Brisbane2 crowds in the 90's are irrelevant as they aren't current.

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

So you will stop using Perth's crowds from the 90s as evidence any future Perth team’s crowds will be bad right? After all, if the previous Gold Coast team is no indication for the current, then consistency would suggest the same for Perth.

Of course you've never shown any consistency in any argument you've ever made, so I don't expect you will see the problem with your argument.

The Giants and Seagulls played their games in NSW you dickhead.

Chargers were a basket case and hastily put together.

Titans will never be a strong club. I've spoken against the Titans on several occasions over the years.

Crushers 21k at the old Lang Park.
Reds 13k at the WACA.

Which one is better?

Giants and Seagulls played their games in NSW.

Always an excuse for your inconsistent bullshit.

In 1997 the Crushers averaged 7000 and the Chargers 9000. Therefore, based on your Perth logic, there should be no extra Brisbane teams and no Gold Coast team.

Consistency. Learn what it is.

ARL was not as popular as Super League in Queensland.

Crushers at Lang Park 7k
Reds at Waca 8.8k

which is better? See we can all cherry pick years!

ARL was despised in Queensland because it was viewed as a NSWRL competition. People up here really resented Arthurson and Quayle.

haha now whose deflecting?
ok how about pre SL when the crushers drew 13k in 1996, less than the Reds drew in 1995. Hmmmm.

The gap in 1995 7.5k in Crushers favour
in 1996 4.8k in Crushers favour
in 1997 1k in reds favour.

See a trend?

What's your excuse for 1996 when they averaged 13k and 7k?

 

[Canard]

Giants and Seagulls played their games in NSW.

Seagulls Stadium was literally on the QLD/NSW border.

You would have to be stoned out your gord to think that imaginary line somehow affected attendances

Super League fallout. Attendances dropped for the Broncos, too.

 

[Perth Red]

Reds >>> Seagulls/Crushers crowds

So based on your logic given the Gold Coast now avg 15-16k we can expect Perth to avg more. Bingo!

 

[Perth Red]

Super League fallout. Attendances dropped for the Broncos, too.

But it didnt impact Reds? haha such a fool.

As some one who was alive anld living in Brisbane in the 1990s I remember the period well. People were upset with the Super League fallout. There was serious concern over the game's survival.

Crowds for the Broncos fell away in 1996 and 1997.

AFL benefited from the fallout in Sydney and Brisbane. You wouldn't know as you weren't here when it happened.

Another Perth Red lie.

Crushers averaged 13,683 over their existence.

I didn't watch an ARL game in 1997. Not even the ARL GF. I watched Super League because it had the Cowboys and Broncos.

Consistency in arguments is not allowed.

So what's good for the goose?

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

Why would it?

Without Super League the Reds would have failed to finish the 1996 season. The club was broke and relied on funding from News Ltd to pay their players.

 

[Matua]

Good.

Really? I don't understand the nastiness of being happy about the potential of a bunch of people losing their jobs (not just the players who mostly wont have trouble finding new contracts) just because you don't like the sport. I don't like soccer but I don't want to see the Wellington Phoenix go under.

But to try and get some relevance back into this thread, NZR wanted Oz to drop some teams for Super so they likely wont have an issue if the Rebels go under.

I was clearly talking about the Gold coast clubs and meant Chargers. Ive shown you the crushers trend. Ended up less than the Reds.
