Roy Morgan - Supporter stats . ......

[dipper86]

Following two successive Grand Final appearances, including the 2005 Premiership, the Sydney Swans are the AFL’s most supported team, with an estimated 1,742,000 supporters according to the latest Roy Morgan Research Single Source data.

The Brisbane Lions — the 2001-02-03 Premiers — sit clearly in second place with 1,152,000 supporters, however, this figure is down 16.4% from the 1,378,000 Lions supporters in the year ending December 2005. The Swans’ 2005-06 Grand Final opponents — the West Coast Eagles — have the third most supporters with 815,000.

The highest ranked Victorian club is Essendon with 771,000, who are 83,000 ahead of the next best Victorian based club — Collingwood (688,000).

Despite a lack of recent success, Carlton is the third most popular Victorian team (515,000), however, the Blues’ current supporter base is well down on its 2001 result of 603,000.

Victorian clubs make up the bottom four places on the supporter “ladder”: Melbourne (212,000), the Kangaroos (228,000), Western Bulldogs (231,000) and Hawthorn (310,000). With the exception of the Kangaroos, all of these clubs experienced a decline in supporter numbers from the previous period.

Kangaroos powerbrokers will be hoping the games they play at Carrara on the Gold Coast over the next three years will further boost their supporter base.

Overall, the number of AFL supporters has fallen marginally (0.9%) in the past 15 months: 8,799,000 in the year ending December 2005 compared to 8,720,000 in the year ending March 2007. There has been an 11.8% increase in AFL supporter numbers since the year ending December 2001.

And there is more, the Roy Morgan Research Single Source data can be used highlight some interesting aspects of AFL supporters. For example, when compared to all AFL supporters, Adelaide Crows supporters are 77% more likely to have eaten at a Pizza Haven restaurant in the last four weeks, Collingwood Magpies supporters are 104% more likely to have made a purchase from Dimmeys/Forges in the last four weeks and Essendon Bombers supporters are 92% more likely to have consumed Red Bull in the last seven days. Further details can be found below.

These are the latest findings from the Roy Morgan Sports Monitor, part of Roy Morgan Single Source, a nationwide survey of 24,315 people aged 14 years and over from April 2006 to March 2007.

On a positive note atleast we don't consider ourselves homosexuals anymore, not that there is anything wrong with that. :p

Don't get too worried - a sample survey taken across the entire country doesnt give a true reflection of the volume of support for AFL clubs.
