    Do supporters of "poor clubs" get sick of their club's plight?

    The root of PA's problems are due to its belated entry to the league - the fact that the Crows were created and marketed as 'the team for all South Australians' doesn't do them any help entering 4yrs later. That and the SANFL bleeding them dry with the worst stadium deal in the league - how it...

    Do supporters of "poor clubs" get sick of their club's plight?

    It definately isn't, but North can't blame all their problems on the league's executives - it isnt their fault North have low membership and attendances. Yes, better timeslots will improve this but when you get sub 25k to home game on a Saturday arvo, by how much will it improve? 10-15k max ...

    Do supporters of "poor clubs" get sick of their club's plight?

    Maybe that's cause you averaged mediocre crowds that season, and better timeslots simply can't be handed out. Don't make it out as if the AFL are out to get North- high achieving clubs (on and off the field) are rewarded. Look at Saints, small supporter base yet they get around 4 friday night...

    Do supporters of "poor clubs" get sick of their club's plight?

    How sustainable is it from the AFL's point of view to have underperforming clubs on the biggest weekly stage ?? How long do you reckon they can accept sub 40k crowds in primetime slots? They may have invented it, and they definately deserve more than 1 Friday night game, but they need to earn...

    Do supporters of "poor clubs" get sick of their club's plight?

    While Friday night games should be shared around (Blues getting 6 annoys me :cool:), clubs must earn it through strong on field performances and attendances. If North are pulling 25k crowds there is no way the AFL will risk having them on in primetime slots, the loss of revenue will be too...

    Do supporters of "poor clubs" get sick of their club's plight?

    The Bulldogs should be fine as the population out West is booming and tipped to house approx 35% of Melbournians in the next decade (up from 25ish). You would hope that the club will and already is taking advantage of this, heaps of young families moving in, send them a bulldogs pack and...

    Do supporters of "poor clubs" get sick of their club's plight?

    Let's be realistic here, what would happen if the AFL gave teams like North/WB more primetime night matches, do you automatically think crowds will boost to 60k+ and ratings 800k+ ?? I agree that they should definately get a bigger slice of the primetime slots but to argue that a lack of 'em...
