Not the first time dutts, er, I mean gutts has been wrong either



Round 8 Comparison:
RSL: 68, 807; a.p: 57,301.

hth.

lol poor nutters i almost feel sorry for it

NRL Avg crowd - 18,000
Enlish union - 10,000 approx
France union - 10k approx

lol at vichyball

Why are comparisons being made with sports in other countries?

Totally irrelevant form both Dally and GF. Though Dally has chosen to show RL against only Union in OTHER COUNTRIES which is even more absurd.

Nope...but either way, Aviva Premiership gets more than ESL....hope that helps.
AFL 5hits all over the NRL and although the Union game is a state competition down here, it is all that can be compared to the NRL......and it too gets bigger average gates than NRL....hope that helps as well



It really is a shame that after having the biggest attended round, ever, the NRL seem to have dropped the ball so to speak. The Suns have sold more memberships than the Titans....which is a concern.......and the fact that the Suns got 27,914 to their game...a figure that the Titans have only ever beaten twice....and not since 2007



As for French Rugby Union? A tad unfair on yourself dally messenger, give there is no League to compare it with

and a nice touch that you belittle the French Union crowds, but support their raiding of All Black stars



Oh, joedynamo, pointing out spelling errors and or minor differences in figures that are reported is not part of a reasoned debate...it is a habit picked up from having very little to add to the debate in the first place

We get record tv viewers, but less money.

Upto and including round 8, more ppl have attended the Rugby SuperLeague then the equilvalent ap rounds. Prove me wrong. Bring sources.


Riiigghtt, your statistics are facts but my sourced Facts are merely statistics.

Nah, its a habit picked up from dealing with one eyed trolls..



Speaking of which, I see your partner in crime bazza-phipps has been reduced to the rank of forum grammar nazi on the vt; How the mighty have fallen.

Audience demographics.......but I have no doubt the NRL will get a better deal this time around. Problem is, a decent Toyota Land cruiser retails at about AU$90k whilst a Range Rover Vogue is about AU$195,000 on the road....like it or not, the demographic of your average Union fan differs from that of your average league fan..........advertisers will pay more to get in front of wealthier eyeballs....and your public schoolboy rah rah is deemed to be the wealthier......

Why doesn't anyone bring AFL attendences up?

I meant compared to AFL, does the S15 get more tv revenue than the NRL?

OK...can we first agree that the total attendance for ESL up to and including round 8 is 497,105 which includes an attendance of 60,438 for the openeing weekend in Welsh Wales? 56 games with an average of 8,877. This figure was rather lazily taken from [url=http://www.slstats.org/Attendances/HERE[/url

Opening round of the Aviva Premiership included a double header at Twickenham which skews the figures, but still....over 48 games of the AP from round 1 to round 8 inclusive 525,239 people attended games.......or an average of 10,942.

More "ppl" have attended the Aviva Premiership Rugby Championship than the equivalent ESL rounds. More people, less games and an average that is nearly 20% bigger than League.


So...you are wrong. Still...I am sure you will come back with some attempt at wittyness......but I would suggest that if you are going to issue a challenge.....you do a little more research

I think SANZAR got 500 million for S15 and the Tri-nations (soon to be 4 nations with Argentina on board)...if the NRL gets 1 billion for the next 5 years that's about 824k a game including SOO.
SANZARS deal is for 1/2 billion, so they only get 730k a game including internationals.
I think the current NRL deal is worth 620k a match at the moment, so until the new deal kicks in, I believe that Union gets more per game...which is odd given nobody watches it
