| Quote: WestCoaster "No other sport in the country can match Queensland's enthusiasm for rugby league. 105,000 tickets sold in a few hours.
10 million viewers for the series and more than 170,000 live. Origin 2011.
The envy of the AFL and union among others.'"
The question remains though where was this enthusiasm for the 4 Nations Final last year.
The Crowd was around 36,000 in a 52,000 stadium. |

As a season ticket holder at Leeds Rhinos I put my money where my mouth is i.e. I actually go a watch live games every week of the season Pity the sanctimonious few on here seldom attend a game - maybe if you did it would help the NRL bridge the 20k a game average deficit that exists with attendances in the AFL - 17k against 37k is a huge gap!!!
I like rules, I like cricket, I like athletics and I play golf and table tennis!!
There is more to life than RL - maybe if you realised that you would be able to present a more balanced argument rather sticking your head in the sand.

Not disputing that - pity alleged TV viewing figures doesn't translate into hard cash.
How much did the AFL get for their TV rights?

Ant, Picking one crowd is a very weak effort.
2008 RLWC was probably more fitting. Full house.
How this relates to Origin? Enjoy.

Just to clarify Rugby League teams.
Greenbay Packers in the NFL approxiately get 73,000 a game @ Lambeau but ticket demand excedes supply with a further 78,000 on a waiting list! |

This looks like it's starting to drift people. Can we just get back to the excitement Origin creates here in Oz.

You tell us oh mighty know all Australian sports fan.
And how do you know what games anyone from the other side of the world go to or not?
And as manly said, if you supposedly go to all leeds games, why are you posting here when they are playing?
Do you take your lap top with you to the game because you are bored or something? |

| Quote: Sal Paradise "Your quote does not stand up to the facts
What a strange comparison. Lang Park sells all of the tickets to an expensive match in a matter of an hour or two and you compare it to a stadium which has yet to sell out and has significantly cheaper tickets, free for kids.
Nothing in Australia comes close to Origin in Queensland. If Lang Park was 100,000 it’d still sell out as quickly...
