Can you provide evidence that Perth has 20k active RL fans?

What we know is Perth has 8k FTA viewers and 5k PTA viewers (2017). That's a total of 13k active RL fans. If you add the 4k players then the total is 17k.
already have

4k-100k fta viewers
unknown amount of PTV and Kayo viewers
16,500 ten year avg NRl attendance
43k crowd this year

Im probably being conservative at 20k.

Out of 20,000 posts, has PR made a positive comment since John Grant announced the WA Pirates when PR backed the Reds bid, circa 2013?
eh? Do you know what youre talking about as it doesnt sound like it?
Pirates were announced in 2012 and it wasnt by John grant. If youre going to make a post trying to be funny dont look a dck would be my advice.

The years all blend together, 2011/12/13. I remember it clearly you had invested in the Reds, with time, expertise, perhaps financially, I’m not sure, but you were shafted and blindsided with the Pirates backing by the NRL which the general consensus was that WA was about to be announced as a future NRL team. Most people on LU at the time were supportive of you and how the NRL had screwed your consortium (for lack of a better word) over. But since then you’ve attacked anything that is not a Perth NRL team. You may have a lot of RL knowledge and smarts but you just attack Brisbane, Sydney, NZ or PNG bids because it’s not Perth, and it’s f**king tiresome. I wish WA all the best in obtaining an NRL licence and hope it’s soon and also that you will be involved in some compacity as you have a lot to offer.

Now you're just being a lying wanker.

It was shown to you that Perth averages 8k on FTA during the regular season and just 5k on PTV when the metropolitan ratings were provided in 2017. You'll continue to ignore these facts to spin your bullshit narrative. You really are clutching at straws.

But how do we know that when there is no Perth NRL team?
OzTam ratings you dope!

In 2017 Foxtel provided the metropolitan breakdown for NRL games on Fox League. Perth averaged just 5k per game. The ratings provided by Wookie showed just 8k people Perth watched NRL on a regular basis in 2023.

and so you don't think those ratings would increase with their own team to support?

A snapshot in 2017 before kayo. show me this years ratings and I'll be happy to agree.

at least 20k fans, 14-16k crowd avg no problems.

Kayo magically increasing Perth numbers when fox couldn’t do it before
Cheaper easier access, yeh I reckon it did, I know I subscribed in 2021. Regardless in the total absence of this years data its a BS claim he is making. Its an opinion of his, not a fact.

So why say you joined kayo as proof it raised tv viewers in Perth

it didn’t
the stats show that Kayo now matches Fox for subscribers without drop off of Fox subscribers. Its a fair assumption that theres equal people watching NRL on Kayo as on fox.
