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  |

You're referring to m4e I take it.....as I am a tea caddy living in Wellington New Zealand. I don't think he was being arrogant.....the fact that they have had a bumper start to the season was worth a shout.......and NRL is not Australias number 1 sport....AFL is.
If you want to respond to what you believe is an arrogant post by a crim, just remind them of who currently has the bigger crowds and the bigger TV deal (currently)...that normally does the trick
As I stated above, the 25k average they have achieved is great, but still 2,000+ less than the kick'n'clap brigade....if you throw that stat at them they generally pi55 off  ......but if they are still annoying you, remind them that a club soccer match got a bigger gate than any of their opening round games...that should do the trick 
If all else fails...ask them who are the current 4 nations and world cup holders and why billy slater sleeps with the lights on (he's scared of the dark )
Loads of ways to respond.....and loads of fun too without getting ar5ey.
FWIW......the NRL game I just watched was better than any of the SL games I have seen this year....no skin of my nose if you agree or not. |
