The fact that the Stars and Renegades have barely ever looked like winning the thing can’t help, Stars get gutted by international call ups every year as well.

This is true, but Derbies effectively have 2 sets of home fans attend, so in a comparison of how well supported teams are, they are a distortion.Why exclude the Derby when the biggest advantage of having two team cities are because of Derby’s.
Half of NRL and AFL games are Derbies.This is true, but Derbies effectively have 2 sets of home fans attend, so in a comparison of how well supported teams are, they are a distortion.

Yes, and if comparing sports, they should be included, as they are a normal part of that sport. In the context of the original post, it is arguable that as they were talking about the appeal of the BBL, then they should be included. However, if you are trying to draw a baseline on the sorts of pull BBL teams have, then they are a bit misleading. There isn't a right answer, you just need to be aware of the data you are using, and its implications.Half of NRL and AFL games are Derbies.
More than 30k for the Brisbane Heat last night. Shows the folly of moving 2 games to the Gold Coast.
For home ground scheduled games Adelaide’s average attendance is 36k (4 games), Perth 40k (2 games) and Brisbane 29k (2 games). That’s very decent.
It’s Melbourne and Sydney which are stinking it up. This is where the problems lie and why I argue the 2 teams things has failed.
Thunder average 13k (3 games), Sixers 20k (2 games), Stars exc Derby 25k (1 game), Renegades 19k (3 games).

So the AFL contributed ~56% of crowds across all professional outdoor team sports
51.9% in those 5 cities. Doesnt count regional - Newcastle, Gold Coast, Geelong, Launceston, Ballarat, Mudgee, Alice Springs, Tamworth, Bathurst, Townsville, Cairns or Hobart and Darwin.
Seems huge! What’s the biggest AFL or NRL game I wonder?Just looking at the STV ratings from yesterday
The second innings of the ODI got 405K. I would have thought foxtel and CA would be stoked with those numbers.
The Socceroos got just 49K for its last group stage game in the Asian cup. It was on a midnight but it sure does demonstrate the gaping chasm between Socceroos-at-the-world-cup support and their general support
The Roar v Victory game got 26K. Prime time on a Tuesday night.

I'm feeling like a broken record on this. The BBL needs to be shorter. Start it a little bit earlier (mid December) so the tournament is really in the public eye before the Christmas/new year period. The final should be on Australia Day, before school starts again. It's sooooo lonnggg and that is making it boring.
How does more games mean less quality. Lower quality comes from lower quality players, which is partly due to them not coming here anymore, because they can get very good money elsewhere.Fell for the more teams/games more money from TV thinking, stuff the quality of the product slipping.

Shorter season, less tv money equals even lower quality imports.

More games means each game means less. The ladder is tight but it’s not as brutal. A loss won’t spell the end of your chances. Players are fractionally less desperate, fans don’t really care that much.How does more games mean less quality.

Never saw a cricket game between poor teams look higher quality because they were more desperate, if anything, it drops in quality.More games means each game means less.

Less games also means bigger crowds because all the people that just want to go to 1 or 2 games will all be at the same few games.
