You're right that the figures should be better, especially for the Broncos, and the bunnies are definitely doing well, given their lack of success in so many years.I hope you recall me saying for a majority of the year we were leading, I wasn't sure how it ended.
On to the stats - the Broncos and Knights figures are understandable, 1 team towns with a huge league following, however they should be better. With such a successful life, the Broncos ticketed memberships should be over 20k. Can anyone confirm if the Suncorp members are included in to the Broncos ticketed memberships? I heard they were included and due to this, the teams playing at ANZ stadium were going to put those members into their team figures. However, the teams declined as it would inflate the figure unrealistically.
With the Dragons figures, do they class a ticketed membership as attending all home games? I am pretty sure they had 4 different types of ticketed memberships that added to that tally - all home games, only home games at Kogarah, only home games at Win and a 3 game GA to any home game. If that is the case then the Dragons figures would most probably be on par with Souths and the Knights or could be a little lower.
We only had a break down of every home game (including 2 away ANZ matches as well), 5 game regional and the junior bunny GA tickets.
I don't think those figures are that bad for us considering how unsuccessful we have been in the last 10 years. I am interested on how the playing away from our "home area" at Homebush effects that figures (personally I prefer playing at ANZ). All we need is few successful years and we will be in the 80% for the ratio of ticketed to none ticketed. Heaven help us if we could actually win the bloody thing.
However, let's remember that Souths has no leagues club (explaining partly the amount of non ticketed Souths memberships) and the Broncos leagues club members are not included in these numbers, nor the Suncorp members.
Btw, Suncorp memberships for 2012 are officially sold out... Lots of people with money to spend out there! :rash:
