I think you will find the expectation is for a substantial increase to anything between $800m-$1b. A billion is probably out of reach just for the fact it represents too large a percentage increase for the networks to justify.
RL is growing and s***s over every other sport in NSW and QLD when...
Low by afl standards, growing slowly and i suspect the NRL will average 20k in 5 years time mainly down to the membership drive which started 2 seasons ago (approaching 200k now).
Wrong. 1 at NQ reported as 10,741 in but corrected to 15k, 1 at manly 8,616 which is poor and one at gosford...
Is there an underlying Ultras culture at the victory? what with the north/south end fans groups. like the greeks/italians have. On a side note, notice your a gers fan. Been to any games a Ibrox?
tipping 10K for the mariners game tomorrow. a lot of advertising going towards it and the...
packers-bears for the history
Raiders-Broncos for intensity of fan hatred
Colts-Pats for the quality. easily some of the best playoff and season games in the NFL have been between them IMO
Re: 2010-2011 College Football Discussion
Hard to pick a winner in the BCS game, Auburn played a tight, tough schedule in the SEC plus the Cam Newton factor. BUT that Oregon offense cant be discounted, it averaged what 40 something points in the season? and 1st or 2nd in every offensive...
Good analysis but i'm not sure about the whole NRL v's HAL argument. I feel the push for memberships in the NRL is more to do with clubs realising they need to secure their bottom lines than a turf war with the HAL.
The Fury and GCU are living on the edge and i fear they will get the chop...
Neither CMM or NJ are in Sydney, they are both in distinct regional areas and don't regard themselves as Sydneysiders at all. I dont think any of the NSW clubs have affected the others bottom line or attendances. In fact they probably help each other with bigger potential crowds for derbys...
I think they have got this right, the suburban grounds are fine for regular season games, but to have people packed on to a grass hill during what is the pinnacle of the competition is a no no.
I agree, they have got the format right and appear to be on the right track with the stadia this time. It would be good to see Lebanon and Jamaica, they are the 2 nations who have undergone genuine development in recent years which has been driven from within rather than by outside forces.
Completely agree with this, there is no way FIFA would allow any sport to piggy back on the WC. And after all how many times was the super 14 mentioned in the past world cup, not very many excet a passing remark concerning the stadia. Sure there might have been the odd curious sports fan who...
This is one of the better posts i've read on any forum.
I think there is room for a professional soccer league in australia in the long term, but how many teams it can sustain remains to be seen. GCU and NQF certainly seem to lead a pointless existence at the moment.
Don't think so, it looked pretty sparse against the Mariners and certainly looked similar to Storm games i have seen with under 10K. If you could absolutely guarantee the figures are wrong you would have proof, so until you can show proof the OFFICIAL attendance figures are 100% correct.
I...
Can't wait to smash souths in Rd1, hopefully knock them off their pedestal. Although they will really put the rest of the clubs to shame with their member numbers now, so fair play to them there.
felt real sorry for him in his press conference. He made a really bad mistake and has paid for it. I think he deserves a second chance in the NRL in the future, like everyone does.
I'm pretty sure a ESL club will pick him up, they aren't usually fussy. But if he thinks he is escaping the...
My high school hockey team had an epic win in a semi final against the best grammer school in the province who we normally got thrashed by. won the match 2-1 with five minutes to go and made all the more sweeter by the fact that the two towns/schools are the bitterest of rivals. Think upstart...
I always check, better safe than jumping in with one.
Also have a similar story. Second day in Australia and went to the garage to find some of my dvds that had been packed away for moving. had a feeling i was being watched (no joke) so turned slowly round and in the corner of the roof was...
9/11 has to be first, the rumours going round school (13 then) at the time and then the awful truth of it when we got home was pretty terrible. Maybe just as bad was the Omagh bomb, which scared the **** out of everybody in Northern Ireland at the time, one of the most callous and disgusting...
Correct and well said, they fail to see the stupidity of their actions. Do they not realise the sacrifices made to maintain their freedom from those who would have quashed it reagrdless of religion/ethnicity.
