100 years old.. What the hell has the owners of this club been doing
over the past 100 years?
Members? juniors? Crowds?
What a joke.
Deadset blight on the game.
Crowds?
Average Roosters crowd in 2009 was 14,388.
Higher than Canberra, Cronulla, Manly, Melbourne, Parramatta and Penrith. 3 of those sides made the finals.
Average Roosters crowd in 2008 was 14,317
Higher than Canberra, Cronulla, Melbourne, Parramatta, Penrith, Dragons and Warriors.
Average Roosters crowd in 2007 was 12,014
Higher than Canberra, Cronulla and Melbourne
Average Roosters crowd in 2006 was 11,889
Higher than Canberra, Melbourne, Souths and Warriors.
Thus over the past 5 seasons, their average has increased by 3,000 per game.
Over the past 5 seasons, their average crowd has been bigger than Melbourne.
Lets move next onto Juniors. If the Roosters manage to have just one junior make first grade, that's better than Melbourne's effort over the past 13 seasons.
Members? Well if average crowds has increased by 3000 per game in just 5 seasons, one would be able to safely say that the number of their members is growing as well. Plus being a club that has been around for over 100 years, there's a good chance that their number of members is going to increase every year significantly.
