Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 3677332, member: 8423"] Right, thanks Vlandys. Now let's again look at the facts, which yes I know people don't like because it shows the NRL is in trouble. This is the most up to date I can find and are from the official respective websites (unfortunately and embarrassingly, the NRL's isn't even the most up to date source here): Memberships 2024 [B]Sydney Swans - 73757 Brisbane Lions - 63268[/B] Brisbane Broncos - 40207 [B]GWS - 36629 [/B] Redcliffe - 35536 Parramatta - 35015 [B]Gold Coast Suns - 26157[/B] Canberra - 24060 Canterbury - 22000 St George - 21124 Wests - 20859 Easts - 20072 Cronulla - 14384 Gold Coast Titans - 13124 Now look, I understand in some cases it is comparing apples and oranges and really, you would need to combine the western Sydney teams to compare with GWS but look at where the AFL clubs sit there. The best comparison of all is the Gold Coast because they are in direct competition - the Suns have DOUBLE the amount of memberships as the Titans and both teams SUCK. Again, I am sure this will read to you as the AFL is great and the NRL isn't but no, this is to show the powers that be cannot afford to have your attitude, it is out of touch with reality and what the data is proving and that is, this old, stubborn mindset is no longer relevant and burying the head in the sand is allowing the AFL to take more and more league heartland. I love the AFL but I don't want to be seeing this, I'm also a fan of what league once was and I want league to be thriving. All the relevant data shows that while it is far from being dead of course, it is trending alarmingly in the wrong direction compared to its biggest competitor. [/QUOTE]
