Dont forget the wheel.AFL invented media rights.

Yep. He most certainly isn’tYep. I believe storm80 isn't a Perth Red alt.
Not another suffering from VDS V'Landys Derangement Syndrome? Still going on about TV rights comparison where as explained many times the comparison is flawed on so many fronts.But whatever turns you on.Does the AFL have a team in N.Z. that impacts Oz NRL rights for example.Haha and just like that PVL does a complete 180 on Perth team. He’s now suddenly pro Perth.
Hopefully the West Australian article can be seen.
PVL saying that it’s Uncle Nick that’s the visionary that wants to get to 20 teams quicker.
I love the line from PVL - “And it’s all funded by the broadcaster from the extra content” hahaha
Exactly what the Perth Red types and us accused “AFL lovers” on here get abused for saying - Perth is where you get more ratings growth with 2.7m people in WA which then maximises the tv rights deal. And you use the extra money from TV rights to fund participation.
This is so funny, PVL is actually spruiking the AFL model now. Exactly why the Suns and Giants exist. To get more cash in TV rights. It would seem it’s Uncle Nick that got in PVLs ear and told him to change strategy.
Now… imagine how much quicker NRL could’ve got to 20 teams had NRL not got outflanked by AFL in media rights? That extra $500m would have been a phenomenal kick start to expanding to 20 teams and being in a better position to give players a better deal in CBA negotiations.
It’s almost like narrow mindedness on playing the game in two states has cost the code millions in revenue over the past 20 years… Wait did I say “It’s almost like”?? I meant “It’s a certainty that…” etc etc.
Imagine being so stupid over the past 25 years, and PVL has been dense on this issue since he come on as a board member, that you didnt see the easy money on offer in Perth and completely missed out on WAs mining boom and getting much more sponsorships and corporate partnerships over the past two decades. Your talking about hundreds of millions of dollars on offer at your door step. No betting agencies or delusions of grandeur in USA involved. Just purely putting a team based in Perth, backed by government and watching the money roll in as the tv rights deals increases exponentially.
Anyways, maybe PVL lurks on this forum - cause he sure seems to be stealing some great ideas from a few of us “fumbleballers” on here haha
So vlandys will deliver on an 18 team comp which trumps the fumblers
good chance he goes to 20
at that stage he’s out rugby league back where it was in 95 with every rival sport being irrelevant
I call bullshīt!Yep. I believe storm80 isn't a Perth Red alt.
excuse me, but there was nothing better than sitting at old Parramatta stadium in 1995 on a freezing saturday night in the rain to watch them hose my cowboys 20-4 in front of 4.1k people.......The game is much stronger today than 95.
The back in my day crowd need to get in the bin.
Depends what you mean by strongerThe game is much stronger today than 95.

Speaking to stadium staff, apparently the Marvel Stadium stands WILL be moving in for the Storm games in July.Round 18 vs Penrith & Round 22 vs Parramatta will be at Docklands/Marvel
Storm at Marvel Stadium on sale now!
From the look of the ticketing map, it won't be reconfigured. I don't think Docklands have done this for awhile now.
If I find anything about that changing I'll plonk it in here.
Depends what you mean by stronger
every code has had increases in tv rights since then
we had 2 brisbane clubs, a Perth club (no storm tbf) Gold Coast and no mergers
we will be lucky to get back to 20 clubs in 2032 when it’s what we had 30 years ago
plus the game wasn’t run by news ltd
I think your wrongCompetition crowd average was 13.9k in 1995.
NRL 2023 average crowd 19k+
So less people through the gate even with 20 teams in 1995.
Club grants today of 17m+ each.
Record viewership Yoy.
Soon to be 18 teams.
NRLW going from strength to strength.
90% of clubs last year turned a profit.
Record revenue at head office of over 600m this year.
Record participation in NSW and Victoria.
Record broadcast deals in Aus and NZ.
In 95 maybe one club turned a profit.
What do you think?
Lol obvious is obviousI call bullshīt!

Hoping to get in to see that process happening.

vs Penrith June 30I've been there in that configuration, when the LA Galaxy and Beckham were in town.
It's only useful for about 8k or so and frankly made the viewing experience for some others a bit shit.
Are they selling tickets for this yet? And if so what does the map look like?
I think your wrong
nice try though
Afl has a turnover over a billion dollars vs nrl at 640 millionGood talk. hahaha
Australia`s population 1995: 18m 2023: 26.5m. Increase ~50%.Competition crowd average was 13.9k in 1995.
vs Penrith June 30
vs Parramatta July 28
"Venue map for illustrative purposes only"
On sale according to the Ticketmaster site, on those two links above.
Still looks normal on the maps for each.
