We got a Shute Shield rating this week!

They could probably get a boost if they actually broadcast nationally as well.

Foxsports broadcast of Arg v Aus - 131,000 (Fair bit higher than last year - 78k)
Think we will struggle to get the FTA numbers unless an insider can post them as it didn't make top 20. So less than 288,000. (Was it shown on Ten or One in Melbourne etc? The split there may also have an effect)

Thats the trouble with being a minor backwater in terms of world rugby audiences. We just have too many codes competing for attention and not enough fans to go round

Yes, but still better than Aussie Rules or Rugby League when it cmes to internatioinal reputation and reach

I had a thread tracking the crowds in the NRC forums.... Ratings are harder to come by and aren't publicly available.
But one broadcast trend that was identified from 2015 was that the QLD and NSW teams rated the highest and matches involving only teams outside of NSW/QLD rated poorly... Naturally this was to be expected...
They've structured the draw in 2015 in a way which ensures a QLD or NSW team is playing in each broadcast game.

NSW crowds were pretty poor though generally

True but they were spread over four teams. Going back to the club grounds should see more people turning out this season.

I noticed the inconsistencies in the camera work yesterday. Reminded me of the first game they ran. But apart from that try have been very good. I wonder how much it costs them to run that operation? Would be great if they could carry at least one NRC game a week as well.
The sponsorship growth has been good. Should allow the competition to build its sponsorship base if done right.
tbh that is suggesting the knife only cuts one way.
as soccer becomes more popular to play and the a league more daggy to watch, it is arguable that, that 19% will only decrease. Not to mention potential upticks in the AFL and Rugby League from the soccer playing population.

I assume this is in reply to a post I made a couple of weeks back on page 28.
Part of the post.
I think your assumption Soccer will drop from 19% lower is wrong, they have never had a national domestic competition that was mainstream accepted before and Gallop and his FFA team add Lowy are competent managers and IMO they will lift the watching %.
Further to assume daggy well its your call.
All I am saying we need to be aware. I also am of the opinion we rugby folk have over estimated our problems and under estimated what we have to offer.
Its not like other sports are any better more other sports have out manoeuvred us in political and media interest, Especially AFL who seem to have governments falling over themselves to help them.
We need to get better at the political stuff maybe our own Frank Lowy is what we need.
However that viewing patterns are in a state of change and like Soccer we have an international presence that League and AFL will never have we need to look at how the Socceroos have been marketed and presented as like in many other areas we are being manoeuvred by the FFA. OMG how they managed the Asian Cup was IMO excellent management. As has been the big European sides coming out.
