^^^^^^^ Thanks Strewth Tried to put the figures provided into more of a chart format those SA ratings are off the chart had no idea they were so large. Interesting from the article we get bigger crowds than NZ but only two thirds of their ratings. Summary Crowds Country ..... 2016...

I looked for it can you post a link as I could not find it.

Wookie Thanks for the replies and agree on Shute info. Seems to me Rugby is starting to fall off some mainstream media or at least get less. With the rise of Netball and stories around Netball increasing info about Rugby is struggling to be shown as often as it once was and it does not help...

Wookie Just asking on the round 9 spreadsheet you have recorded the Reds game in SA and not recorded the Force V Tahs in Perth. Because you normally record the home match crowds. Cheers and again thanks for all your work.

Wookie Thanks for that, I had a good look at your site you have an amazing amount of information, across the codes. Is it a hobby with you or your job because you have as I said some impressive records and in some cases going back years. Am I correct in assuming you are an AFL fan and if...

Wookie I checked your site it seems you have not undated the last round. Am I right or am I missing something.

BreaveHeart and Strewth Agree with you both in many ways. My point is very simple. Today or by the next media deal we could I believe have an 8 team competition as I described up and running with a 30% hit to revenue and walking away from Victoria & WA. From this base build. Relying on...

Braveheart I don't have any idea how to make it work, we have 5 super teams and the NRC teams swap a few players and I am sure we could get 8 teams of reasonable standard. But I will give you my back of the hand cals Let me start by estimating our current revenue is roughly 100 million...

Good point on the Basketball. WE can be on both i.e Fox and and one game FTA per week. I saw the Netball is attempting to develop a 10 national domestic competition and break away from the five Australian sides and 5 NZ sides. My gut feeling is if Netball can sell a 10 team competition to...

Braveheart You make an excellent point in that I guess I see this differently to most on this site and think we could sell an Australian Rugby competition to the media for far less money than the Super Rugby deal. But I am becoming increasingly concerned because as Wamberal says we are becoming a...

Wamberal You come across to me a very level headed poster capable of looking at things especially other codes and putting it into some kind of balance. I just read an article from the Fin Review and its an interview with Stephen Lowy the chairman of FFA. Reading between the lines he appears...

Let me explore two separate issues. First looking at what has been asked and why the government is saying their could or will be future issues at the current pace of change. Resulting in the government setting targets that have to be met for things they have control of. On the face of it lets...

Rating seem to be holding up with crowds down. However both figures are greatly affected by home games for the Tahs and Reds, and how they are performing. Quietly confident crowds will recover. Difficulty with the ratings is not so much they are holding steady more there is little growth.

No far from it having said that I often look at what other sports do and it does not hurt to see what works in other codes. As you posted the AFL, NRL & A-League all run national domestic competitions at the heart of how they run their Australia competitions. Rugby similar to cricket more run...

could not agree more. Was at one of those 5 day professional updates / seminars three years ago and one afternoon I choose to attend a particular presentation with a title something like this.. "Business Success breaking from Tradition" I went along and almost died when the presenters...

Forum I through I would be the odd one out. Dru first ask to merge then if that does not work set up a points table allocating points to a number of key factors and go with the highest. Highlander you may be right but I doubt it I see small losses. Strew yes some players would be lost to...

Braveheart81 Your thinking or people with like minds run the game today and have done so for many years. Every year I hear we can't break from the revenue stream and the good that being in at first a three nation and now a five nation tournament is the saviour and every year I see what we...

As I said I see 10 to 12 Australian teams no NZ teams where we each play each other twice and have a finals series. Its both a revenue and cost equation, if we play out of existing Shute teams grounds before say 5, 000. Thats say six games per round * 22 rounds which is 660,000 people throught...

Well if I knew the answer I would be worth a lot more. However I will have a go. The Tri nations does not need Super Rugby. Keep the Tri nations and other international matches, this would provide a base income stream. Have these matches broadcast on a commercial FTA broadcaster. From...

What plans are there to grow a national domestic competition. Please don't insult me and say the NRC will over time become HUGE. I also don't agree with your 1996 analysis. We could have if the courage and leadership of the ARU at the time forced the mergers. Yes we could have developed a...
