No Sydney clubs are broke.
You have too few teams in the comp. Or you are not really interested in league compared to AFL, soccer, inbreeding etc.
Yeah what the hell? Is this a typo or something?
It seems obvious to me that Brisbane alone averages more per game than anybody else and Brisbane has a smaller population that Sydney so how can the game average go in a combined Sydney's favour?
Even without the figures we can all assume that the Average home crowd in Brisbane is around 30k and the Average in Sydney is around 20k at best. Whatever figures OP is using suck. I see your point in saying that that many MORE people go to games in Sydney but there is only like one game a weekend in Brisbane at best as opposed to sometimes 4 or maybe even 5 in Sydney. I reckon if there was a South Brisbane team it wouldn't dint the Suncorp figures at all and would probably get the same if not slightly less crowd figures.
I brought this statistic up in another thread but I'm still amazed by it.
Explain LS or OVP how Townsville out-drew Sydney in a Kangaroo's World Cup test game?
I'll reply and say i dont care. Sydney has 9 teams and regularly dwarfs the Qld crowd figures, week after week, year after year. We have over a hundred thousand turning up week after week. Having a look at the crowds of the old BRL, there's no chance in hell you can compete with Sydney, ever.
Go right ahead and create Superleague 2 ... you can be assured that you wont be invited back again after Sydney kicks your arse in the TV ratings, like it did back in the Superleague days ... You got owned back then ,,, hahah sif anyone would care about Qld, Adelaide,Perth, NZ, Canberra, Hunter, plus 3 gay sydney clubs in the Disgusting Dogs, Sharks and Penriff ... up against the real sydney clubs in the ARL comp, YOU GOT BUTCHERED in the TV ratings. That frog-mouthed turd Lachlan came crawling back.
Go ahead, do it all again and see whats coming :lol:
give me a break, mate!
forget your comparisons for one second.
Lets talk about match day experience. Thats what its truly about.
At least I know when I attend a game in qld, i have a great stadium and a big crowd, great atmosphere, easy transport, etc, etc.
And i've been to sydney stadia too, dont you worry about that.
Why on earth are Brisbane fans only half as likely to attend an NRL game as their Sydney counterparts?
You clearly don't understand the concept of equal averages.
Ask the QLDers that.Sure, I'm just arguing that neither state can really claim to 'win' and I don't really get why anyone cares that much. It's just as silly to claim that Queensland is league heartland just because the Broncos get such big crowds.
Obviously as a Kiwi I don't have much experience in the Queensland/NSW rivalry, but I'd like league to be really strong in both areas because that'd be good for league. Why can't we all just get along?
Exactly. How does Queensland thereby "win"? It's a pointless argument but QLDers will never let go.
