That would be AFL which ignores Auckland, Newcastle, Wollongong, Canberra and Townsville.
Unlike the desert states, the NRL zone has major cities outside their capitals

Ah fumbleball again. Sure you can compare us with them or you can compare us with a whole bunch of other sports but essentially it comes back to the same thing: no other competition puts in regional teams ahead of metro teams. Simply put there is no money in it or a lot less money than putting teams in metro areas. You can even go further than that and say that no business with a brain does it

As I said to another poster if you can find another competition that ignores the biggest metro markets in their country then feel free to tell me.

You have come back from the future again! Welcome back

By the way Nostradamus I thought the next side was going to be another Brisbane side. You’ve dropped that pretty quickly.

If I'm wrong I can admit it. Won't be spewing years after like some with dolphins

90% of media advertising spend is in metro markets.
At last, That explains it!
I have lived in regional NSW for 30 years and i have never seen a TV ad, in fact, we don’t have TV.
(Do you really believe that the 40% of Australians who live outside the 5 capitals get 10% of the advertising dollar?)

He’s been spilling that self fulfilling lie for months.

You want to enter the debate do you? Still waiting on that other competition that ignores big metro markets.

Which are the big metro's we ignore?! Adelaide & Perth?! 1 & 2 million population.
Seattle metro has population of 4 Milly but no NBA team.
Portland has population of 2.5 million but no NFL team.

According to their industry, yes.

The premise of Boomtown is that at 10%, the spend of regional advertising is too low, and should be boosted to a healthier figure. But identify what that number should be is difficult.

Regional media platforms aren’t as expensive as metro platforms, which Gallagher says means it can’t be a straight split of 36%, the population of regional. Instead he aims for somewhere in the 20%-30% range.

NSW (inc ACT) abd Qld have large regional populations which the desert states and, to an extent, Victoria don’t and that population is strongly NRL. This is unique in Australian sport.

Rubbish there is plenty of money in it if there is support for the sport and support for NRL is strong in regional NSW and Qld but not so much in Perth or Adelaide

They are the 4th and 5th biggest areas in the country so it is relative isn’t it. You do know the concept of relativism don’t you.

Also Seattle and Portland would just scrap in the top 25 biggest places in the US. I think Seattle is about 18 or 19 on the list, Portland would be in the 20’s That’s like me saying we should be putting Orange or Maitland in the competition which you know is ridiculous and hardly an apt comparison,

I’m happy to give you both of mine if you like.

That is regional specific advertising!
Believe it or not we get the big city papers, the internet and set top box TV up here. Admittedly I get shocked when I see what them city folk are up to.
What is this gay homosexual march about?

If there is, show me your evidence. As I said earlier I’m a Raiders fan and regional clubs provide something unique and worthwhile to the competition.

Nevertheless they wouldn’t provide as much money for a business as large cities. That’s just common sense.

There’s three key elements in it all:
1. can a club generate enough revenue from locals and corporates to be viable? (The bigger the city the more likely this is.)
2. Does tv value it more than another area (advertising appeal and audience)
3.does it add to the perception of reach for game sponsors

basically from a purely commercial point of view that’s what club locations of the future wil be based on.

afl deals are all the evidence we need of how important a 5 metro reach is.

TV not wanting Perth shows metro presence (well at least in smaller metros like Perth) isn't important. Demo is more important. Stop pedalling rubbish

I’m from Hobart which is also considered to be regional for ratings. We get our weekly papers delivered by the local grocer who also drops off the milk bottles and collects the used ones. I have a 14 inch black and white tv and drink cascade draught from the can. None of that nasty boags shit from Launceston.

Keep crying batch - ok sure

So your evidence of a competition ignoring the 20th or so biggest area in their country is refuting my point. Ok sure.

It’s not my fault you can’t find evidence for your ‘opinion’. You should think logically instead of emotionally - it is better for you.

Tv just paid $550mill for a 5 metro sport. Sure they don’t want perth and Adelaide lol

reality is clubs like melbourne and brisbane are the most watched clubs on tv, whilst clubs Ike nz, canberra and Newcastle rate lowest.
