Quote: JB Down Under "I'm predicting it will be about $20mill a year more if Gallop and the NRL nufties are still in charge. It will be just enough to bung the clubs a mill each to keep them quiet and cover the NRL's expenses with CPI increase.
IF we get an INDEPENDENT commision it may be significantly higher. Gallop has already talked it down so the signs are not great.
Despite Dally's love of regionals the advertisors go off capital city viewing, it's one of the reasons AFL can get alot more sponsorship $'s and why they have and will spend hundereds of millions getting the game on Tv in Sydney and Brisbane. I'm pretty sure the AFL aren't too worried about Woolongong or Gosford.'"
well get between $50 - $100 million more PA.
regionals do matter. fox for example include all regionals.
60% of all advertsising revenues is from nsw and queensland, including regionals
