How about "Who draws the most to a game in 2019", is that current enough for you?

Why aren’t the Tiger flogs outnumbering Collingwood at games if they have so many more members?
A greater supporter base would surely turn up right?

Problem is that their is no evidence which shows Richmond have more supporters then Collingwood!!! Collingwood’s have more followers on twitter, instagram, Facebook, Roy Morgan polls, SuperCoach and 2019 attendance by over 100,000 after 16 rounds!!

Well since it's going to change round to round there won't be anything definitive until end of season.
FWIW I've already said in this thread I agree Collingwood are one of the biggest clubs but with this thread being in bay13 I'm not taking it seriously
lol your hilarious. I've never seen anyone cling so vehemently to social media stats before. You do realise there is a generation outside the millennial bracket that don't use social media that watch the footy?
So are you saying Richmond have an older supporter base then Collingwood, Essendon and hawthorn then?
I'd say a 70k lead with 8 games to go is fairly definitive, especially since you have GCS, GWS and Brisbane, the 3 lowest-drawing clubs in the league, to come. Good news is you have one guaranteed blockbuster crowd - against the mighty Pies (our home game)
We play Hawthorn, WCE and Essendon - 3 of the 6 highest-drawing clubs
We'll easily be more than 100k ahead of you by the end of the season
"Richmond has set a new benchmark this year with over 100,000 signed-up members, and this figure looks set to grow in future years when one considers of the four key finals contenders compared today that Richmond has the highest proportion of supporters in the key Under 25 demographic at 20% ahead of Collingwood on 17%, West Coast Eagles on 16% and the Sydney Swans on only 10%. In contrast to the ‘Yellow & Black’ at least a fifth of the supporters of the Eagles (23%), Swans (21%) and Pies (20%) are aged 65 years old or over compared to only 14% of Tigers supporters"
What about hawthorn and their extended family membership packages?
Don’t they have double the kids compared to Richmond & Collingwood?
It’s got to be home crowd for a true indication
I have no idea. The allegation by #brett15 was that social media stats weren't relevant because people over 35 don't know how to use it. Which is bullshit

My point is not everyone uses social media, and I've never seen anyone try to use this as a reference before

I guess we'll see. Up until now we've played less games at the MCG and only had 6 home games compared to your 8. We have 7 games at the MCG to finish our season.
Exactly!!

Oh us over 35 know how to use it, plenty of us just choose not to because it's garbage
You know BigFooty is by definition social media, right?
Facebook claim more than 75% of people aged over 13 in Australia use their product, and by far their highest age group is 25-34yos. So, 3/4 of the population use it, Richmond have more younger members and less older members than Collingwood; therefore your motion to exclude SM data is denied
Apart from club memberships (which not all fans can afford) and game attendance (which not all fans can attend), how else would you measure a club's supporter base?

We're arguing semantics, by social media I'm specifically referring to Twitter and Facebook
Facebook can loosely claim whatever they want, doesn't make it fact. There would be plenty of duplicate accounts, multiple profiles and a large amount of dormant/deactivated records too.
I wouldn't be using facebook (or twitter) to measure anything
You can say that, doesn't make it fact. The measure is "active users" so dormant and deactivated accounts wouldn't be counted. Even allowing for a large margin of error/exaggeration I think it's safe to say that more than half of the Australian population aged 13 and over use FB, so it's a statistically valid sample and then some. I can't think of any reason to say that more Collingwood fans than Richmond fans would use it, if anything it should be the reverse. So it's also proportionately representative of both clubs
I asked what you would use, not what you wouldn't. Clearly there are people who are fans of both clubs who are neither members nor attend games; people who live in the country, interstate or overseas for example

Not when both our clubs are top 4.
Richmond only won 1 less game this year and yet Richmond are 122,000 behind Collingwood!!! Says it all really
And yet Richmond are only 3,000 in front of Essendon and they have played majority of their matches at marvel

Pies have the most supporters in Aus up towards a million I think I read and Carlton are second with something like 750k plus in Oz
Tiggers to be 4th in attendance behind Pies, Dons and Wiggles by the end of the year

It's already been established that the tuggers are the biggest bandwagoners in the land

Richmond fans really should stop getting excited over pet members. In Victoria the are well behind Collingwood and Essendon in terms of nationwide support and if Carlton became a power club on the field again they will easily overtake Richmond as the 3rd biggest Victorian club.
After 17 rounds Collingwood are over 130,000 in attendance’s in front of Richmond and have over 100,000 more followers on social media.
Richmond are a big club but honestly Collingwood and Essendon are everywhere in Australia
