Quote: MjM "This may be a stupid question, but I remember Monday Night Football back in 1996 being awesome. They made into a massive special event with the SFS nearly full several weeks including that epic Roosters-Broncos game.

So what went wrong?'"


some clubs are complaining about the slightly lower than average crowds

i think the figures are only 3000 less than a normal game

MNF isnt going anywhwere

clubs are jut whinging to get more money to cover lower crowds

MNF is the highest rating program pretty much every week for Foxtel

around 400k viewers per game

Dally is misleading MJM this time. Let's examine the facts and not they way they've been painted by Dally.

Even if 3,000 was right. That can easily be 20% of an average home attendance. Not good!!!


Quote: dally messenger "clubs are jut whinging to get more money to cover lower crowds'"


And so they bloody well should, they're losing money

Let's look at this article again quoting NRL CEOs



And Bulldogs boss Todd Greenberg said his club had already lost as much as $300,000 in ticket sales by having the opening round game against the Tigers on a Monday night instead of Sunday afternoon.

[iBulldogs would lose even more! And that figure doesn't mention corporate or merchandise as the Rabbitohs one did[/i



400,000 viewers watch it according to forms of data collection they are known to be a massive average. However, taking that at face value. That doesn't help the clubs who are losing money hand over fist at the moment when they get told what day they have to play on. Until the new TV deal comes into effect then some of that money will hopefully go to compensate the clubs who are struggling at the mo with the Monday Deal. But that won't matter apparently cos 400,000 are sitting at home watching them!

Let all the doubters keep doubting and those who believe keep believing. We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in. But you’ve got to keep believing.:86.jpg

I've got Dally on ignore so I would never have known anyway premier.ticketek.com.au/shows/Sh ... sh=RAB1311


Is Todd Goldberg talking BS aswell?

As we said clubs are losing money they can't afford to at the moment when they are TOLD they are playing on a Monday. 400,000 people sitting at home on their arsés at home matters not a jot at the moment to them. If the new TV deal means they will get a few more quid to cover their loses on MFN, then fine, but in the meantime, they ARE losing money. Which is not good.

Oh and interesting to see Dally saying that NRL CEOs talk BS. Shame on you.



*** $75,000 is more than some of the first grade squad are getting at Souths. One game ($205k quoted) would pay for a few of these player's annual salaries. But that's not a problem. 400,000 watch it on telly.
Quote: JB Down Under "How can it be costing Souths ticket money when they are paid to play at the ground a set fee regardless of crowd size? Merchandise sales, really? Corporates I can understand though I would have thought it easier to get companies to have outings on a Monday night straight from work than on a Sunday afternoon.'"



The clubs are given a lump sum to entice them to play there by the stadia, so the stadia can earn money. They still get a cut of gate receipts. Dally wouldn't know this as he only knows what is said about RL through news reports.

He mentions 3,000 as though it's nothing. Yet look at the cheapest ticket on offer for an adult for South's next game. $25. That's 75,000 just for people if they all went into the cheapest seats.

WEST COAST PIRATES NRL expansion? Sometime soon, maybe......:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_9857.jpg



but as you just said they only get a "cut" of that $75k. Do you know how big a cut? I am guessing that the money Monday night Football is worth (and will be worth) is far greater in their NR grants than a cut of $75k.

ps Given we have seen two crowds on a sunny Sunday afternoon that are very low it seems that time or day matters little in actual attendance and opposition and own teams form matter far greater. Anybody got stats on the actual crowd difference for Monday night games compared to corresponding fixtures played on another day?

And Goldberg too?

You have said NRL CEOs talk bullshıt. That's not very pro RL is it?

Actual knowledge of RL in Oz means people know that people at NRL really don't like playing on a Monday. You on the otherhand, sit in front of the telly and pontificate and suggest people are fools.


Agree about future potential TV revenue and MNF.

Don't take 75k literally. That's based on Dally's imaginary 3,000 and hose people paying $25 each.

I said the stadia get a cut of the overall ticketing and obviously other monies re: refreshments etc.



I too said that the new TV deal will cover what teams lose on MNF. But that doesn't stop people losing money as CEOs have pointed out this season, and previously.

with channel 10 to bid for monday night football the value of these games will go through the roof

its a great time for TV and always gets fantastic ratings

more exposure on Free to air tv will see ratings for these games double or tripple

fox will be paying a lot more to keep these games

i hope 10 gets them myself

the additional exposure will be fantastic

I don't disagree with you nor dispute that Dally. I'm concerned for the current state of clubs and their finances. Teams dread MNF. Even taking that into the future, MNF will always be dreaded as it is a lesser income to them even in a future comp with more money and compo for it. You can't but help understand their greed surely?

Ok just had a look at Sth's and Dogs Monday nights. Last season Sth's only played two Monday games. One they got 30,100 against Dogs so clearly no problem there. Second game was against NQ and got 9,700. Corresponding fixture in previous seasons (2008 Sunday afternoon 9,800, 2007 Sunday afternoon 10,000) no difference.

Bulldogs only played one Monday night game in 2010
Bulldogs v Penrith Monday 13,800 (2009 Friday night 14,000, 2008 Saturday 10,200) no difference

So there you go for all Richardsons and Goldbergs whinging A) they very rarley play Monday night (once a season) and B) the crowds are not effected against corresponding fixtures from previous seasons on other days.

I understand your point JB. But they still lose money, that's their main concern. As would every club that plays on a Monday. No club likes playing on a Monday. What more can I add?
