Aus population is around 21m. England (note England, not Britain) is 51m, which means Eng is 2.4 times bigger than Aus, roughly.
That means based on same population sizes, English footy would still probs attract 216,176. |

Which makes the original OPs statement all the more irrelevant! |

Not really, he's just posted saying how good the attendences in general have been this weekend. Compare it to what we have been getting week on week and its another world.
As for AFL vs EPL (jeez, am I really getting into an AFL convo?)...

2010 AFL average: 38,417
2009/2010 EPL average: 34,150 |

No he didn't he put the the NRL puts SL to shame making a direct comparison between one of Australias top sports with a sport ranked about 5th in England.
How many teams in the AFL?
To make my comparison with the EPL I used the top 16 clubs in order to match the numbers so how any AFL teams are there?

I think beating last years opening round attendances by 10,000 with a game to go warrants a mention......I don't think anyone expected the spanish inquisition 
The AFL is by far the biggest attended sport in Australia...16 teams BTW.....so relevant to your EPL figure of the top 16. That said, it's a toss up to which sport is the more boring....... |

EPL top 16 teams aggregate attendance is 625,000 rounded down.
That's an average of 39,000 per club

I quite like AFL, it has its moments, and being a Hawthorn fan, you get to see a lot of them in recent times

By the way for those who didnt see yesterday it's a totally new cleaned up place now with plenty to talk about including individual game threads and everything else RL related. Feel free to drop in... Dally will have a link for you  |
