I thought it was appropriate.

I don't think anyone is disputing that league is bigger than soccer in australia but really, internationally, league is a minnow compared to soccer. Which one is more important.

Worst post yet!

im happy with RL being number 1 in australia hence this thread.

if people around the world like soccer good luck to them

i couldnt give a sh*t what people in italy like.

people in france like to eat snails, does that mean we should copy them

the nrl is far and away a fantastic spectacle.

if we have equivalent level RL in every country in the world i daresay RL would probably be as big as soccer.

Japan Game A TV Record

Jul 23 2007 12:54

The Australia v Japan match on Saturday created a new Australian pay TV record audience with an average of 419,000 people watching the game on Fox Sports.

The Asian Cup quarter final clash had a higher average audience than any program in the history of Australian pay TV, as well as a peak audience of 515,000 during the penalty shoot out.

The match, which saw Australia knocked out in heart-breaking circumstances, also attracted a total audience of 1,029,000, according to ratings recorded by OzTAM Data.

“This is a watershed result for Fox Sports and subscription TV,” said CEO David Malone. “To achieve audiences of this magnitude is a clear indication of the significant growth in subscription TV and further evidence of the viewing numbers we can deliver.

“It also reinforces Fox Sports' investment in Australian sport and the fans are reciprocating by embracing the Socceroos, NRL, AFL, Wallabies and the other sports and teams we proudly broadcast.”

The previous pay TV record was 415,000 (an innings of a New Zealand v Australia Chappell Hadlee cricket match).

im a huge football fan, but it didnt even cross my mind to watch this match.

Well then you aren't a massive fan, are you?

You're a Eurosnob that thinks watching Barca makes you a 'huge' fan. It doesn't.

If you were a huge fan you'd be out watching A-League, the Socceroos C Team and even the state league.

 

[Polynesian Warrior]

look you worked it out by yourself.

soccer in this country is a minor sport.

RL in this country is not.

Australia consist of NSW, WA, SA, Victoria, Queensland, Tasmania, Nth Territories & ACT . League is a minor sport in five of those eight states and territories . :sarcasm:

the nrl is far and away a fantastic spectacle.

Say's who ? You:lol:

if we have equivalent level RL in every country in the world i daresay RL would probably be as big as soccer.

Im sure the AFL has more crowds than the NRL every week but you are allow to dream on this forum if you want .

There was an international soccer match this week?

totalling up the number of states and territories is the most intellectually stupid measure of a sports popularity.

Porkie telling Irish Warrior.....You are still gracing us with your League bashing posts :lol: What ever you do please don't start the Samoan RU thing again!:lol:

Just in case you did not know Warrior Yawnion is a minor sport in 4 states and territories and hardly exists in the remaining!

If crowds was the be all and end all of sport cricket would cease to exist!

wow, so soccer can get 400,000 watching a game once or twice a year.

i can see loads of tv companies lining up for that.

and the fact that union outrates the A League, well just ignore that.

soccer is a minor sport. its doing well by taking the place of union with the success of the socceroos. be interesting to see which sport out of those 2 fails.

is that right.

thats thread material for TFC.
:lol:

 

[Hanscholo]

RL is better to watch on TV than soccer or AFL, it just comes across better imo. The other codes are more interesting to watch live in some respects. Interesting to see that RL is so strong on TV, yet we have a piss poor TV rights deal, lolable.

little wonder its the number 1 sport with ratings of around 40 million over its nearest competitor.

what soccer international?

lol dally you are truly dellusional if you actually believe what you are saying.

The A-league has only been alive for 3 years.

I have an undying passion for league, but the sleeping giant that is soccer in Australia hasn't even started to wake. Believe me, it will.

why would the a league ever amount to much when any talent that australia produce that are any good will be overseas.
