Ratings disaster for Seven

[Mango]

Dumb Douge,

Are u really this thick. Read the original response. SUNDAY WENT GREAT, IT DREW A LARGE ALMOST RECORD CROWD AND FLOGGED THE MUNGOES IN THE RATINGS. DO U REALLY NEED TO BE FLOGGED LITERALLY AS WELL AS MENTALLY TO ABSORB INFORMATION THRU YOUR THICK SKULL. You really do qualify for the "00" tag, but I suppose u don't possess enough brain power to understand. How embarrassed your mum must be.

You haven't even provided figures or answerd the question, dickhead.

The topic is on TV ratings, not crowd stats.

Did France v England beat Australian Idol/Almost famous and 60 Minutes/The Wedding Planner?

These are the shows it was up against, not a Rugby League test played 12 hours earlier in the day.

Oh and going by your idiotic line of thinking then I assume if France v England was on at 5am in the morning and the Rugby Leage test was on in prime time you think the Rugby would of rated better :lol:

Well the Rugby people are blaming the pubs for the low ratings.

Thousands of Australians must have gone out to the pub to watch Saturday's battle between the Wallabies and the All Blacks.

The ratings for home viewing were surprisingly low. The game averaged 2.4 million viewers in the mainland capitals, putting it behind the average of 2.5 million for the opening match between Australia and Argentina.

At its peak moment, the semi-final drew 3.1 million, which was well ahead of the 2.8 million peak achieved by the opener.

But half a million viewers were not prepared to stick with the entire game, tuning in late for a glimpse of the result.

Saturday's event did beat the average of 2.3 million who watched this year's rugby league grand final across the mainland capitals.

But it did not reach the top five of most watched football matches of all time. First place in that roll of honour belongs to the 1996 AFL Grand Final, which averaged 3.3 million viewers, because the involvement of the Swans dragged Sydney into a crowd usually dominated by the southern states. This year's AFL grand final in Melbourne averaged 3 million. And last year's final of the Soccer World Cup averaged 2.7 million.

In Sydney, Saturday's match averaged 854,000, which was less than many recent league grand finals and state of origin matches.

Next Saturday's final, however, should rate better.

That is, unless even more of us decide we'd rather do our viewing surrounded by beer and mateship.

Sunday was fantastic. Two foreign nations playing Rugby managed to draw more people paying far higher admission fees than any other code to the stadium and easily outdrew and outrated the Mungo match involving Australia. Class always outs in the end.

A stadium packed with loaded-up toffy-class Pommies singing an Afro-American song about a runaway slave during the cotton trade over and over and over and over again. Bit of a contradiction there.

Some of the headlines in today's Daily tele. "Hands up if you think we're boring", "It'll be a bore war" "Is he Jonny the great or just a yawn?"

Sums up union pretty well I reckon. The most influential rugby player in the world being a "yawn". :lol:

5 weeks to finally get decent ratings - Seven must be wondering why they even bothered. Great ratings for 3 out of how many games games they showed along with that "rugby shithouse" show isn't exactly stunning.

When will we see these type of ratings again for ruggers? In 16 or so years, whenever we hold the next world cup?

Origins and Grand Finals every year matey.

Already put in a built in excuse just in case :lol:

Try hards.

You can see TV Networks just salivating at the prospect of putting Super 12 on FTA after seeing how much of a wonderful ratings success the RUWC has been :lol:

The level of personal abuse in this thread will now cause it to be locked.

While it came from both sides, Mango you were the worst and the reason it is being locked.

I will also add that had nobody responded to Mango his posts would simply have been taken from the thread and it would have stayed open.
