Rugby League the Greatest Game of all! Rugby League optomist Northern Ireland home of the underdog and capital of losing when favourites.:44271.gif



i went to the lions against geelong in july. i found it alrite to watch in person but dammed impossible to watch a full broadcasted match.

outrating afl is all well and good. but this has to be maintained and then a lot more cash milked out of the TV deals next time. increasing revenue means the cap can be increased to be competitive with the afl and union to stop converts. a026.gif

aside from the tv, as important is bum in seats and afl kills league in this.. last year 8 NRL clubs increased and 8 decreased their average. i think with the momentum from 2009 maybe 10 clubs can post a decent increase and i beleive within 5 years we could be averaging 19-20k.

Gee, I've been living in this country for as long as I can remember and never set my foot in a AFL game.

Quote: Leeds Rhinos season ticket holder LOL "Would not expect someone with your limited intellect to be able to understand simply English I suggest you get a dictionary and look up spectator I think you will find my definition is somewhat closer than yours!!'"


I've given you the opportunity to post the definition and you haven't.

You and I both know why...


No, you can't argue.

And of course your Dad is bigger than my Dad, your Dad is a fat green teeth November bathing Pom, like you.

Quote: Leeds Rhinos season ticket holder LOL "All I am offering is a less blinkered view than yourself and Dally end of - backed up some established facts about attendances and TV revenues - I appreciate that is beyond you tiny mind but I will keep knocking on the wood'"


No, we've had this discussion, what you offer on this particular subject is nothing.

Zero.

Zilch.

Nil.

You bark a couple of things that everyone already knows and claim it proves you know what you're talking about.

You don't, and never have.

Quote: Leeds Rhinos season ticket holder LOL "I suggest it is because I am polite and you are the idiot'"


You can suggest it, but you'd be wrong. I'm just more upfront than you. If I think you're a fat, sweaty mongoloid with the IQ of dirt, you'll know soon enough. You'd rather dance around it like Baryshnikov on crack, until someone like me drags it out of you.

Again, no chance of you actually denouncing Roy Masters' article is there?

In this decade?

You can't and won't, will you...

Quote: Leeds Rhinos season ticket holder LOL "How long has Kerry been dead? no fool though when alive - didn't appear a man to be taken for a ride - so he must have seen some value in the deal'"


Moron.

He was the one who offered AFL overs to get 7 and 10 to pay massive overs for AFL.

Are you in kindy?

FFS, everything has to be explained to you in detail. It'd be easier to explain the theory of relativity to a spider monkey.

Quote: Leeds Rhinos season ticket holder LOL "Who is arguing the above - I know I would rather have the revenue from paying spectators than bums on a sofa contributing nothing to my club.'"


What was the Rhinos crowd average in the season just gone?

How much of their income do you think came from gate receipts?

The sporting world changed many decades ago when this bloke called John Logie Baird invented this new fangled thing called the "Television".

It's radical, you should get one. Maybe you and the old man can give up chip butties for a year to pay for it.

LOL

Fat chance.

Quote: Leeds Rhinos season ticket holder LOL "They don't need huge TV audiences to get the big TV deals though!!!! that's what impresses me - how much bigger their TV deal is!!!!
'"


Idiot.

The Swans and Lions ratings have dropped dramatically since the last AFL TV deal was done.

Why do you think the AFL is putting new teams in Sydney and Queensland, because they think they'll both average 40k crowds?

Can you do the math, can you work out what the answer is?

Can you?

Quote: Leeds Rhinos season ticket holder LOL "Really - I think you need to have a re-think'"


Well,, the last season had the second highest H & A average ever.

The only season to ever beat it was 2005.

What would you call an increase from 2006,7 and 8, a decrease?

The last season had the highest ever aggregate for H & A and finals ever.

Another decrease?
