Think Tank Post here if your Club has the biggest supporter base in Australia

[Grand Uncle Horace]

What is wrong with 17 minnow Clubs who don't come within a bull's roar of the Bloods.

For the 18th season in a row, Roy Morgan research has found the Swans have half a million more fans the lamentable minnow in the Pies.

To their credit the Pies did enjoy a big increase in fans. This is due to a post McGuire bounce. Getting rid of the racist and incompetent fathead has helped as well as the departure of Nafan No Flags.

For this week only
(Maybe next week if the Blooooooz get up)

Yawn, yet another thread where some other club compares itself to Collingwood.

 

[Jazny]

You club is so mainstream! My club is very niche and cool and I supported them before they were even a club!

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Swans most supported club in Australia.

 

[FISTO]

Can’t argue with the facts

 

[NetworkNerd]

In other news, Melbourne Storm is the most supported NRL club with 1.2M supporters

 

[Mofra]

Having a supporter base with the greatest average BMI is nothing to brag about.

 

[AvantGardener]

So you guys must be at least #1 in one of memberships, ticket sales or TV viewers? Or is just the fact Swans have been basically one team in a city of 5million and a few of these people are bound to say they support Swans but wouldn't be able to name any players except for Buddy?

 

[STPer18]

Yearly increase of 10%+ OR GTFO.

Wait your decrease now you aren't reigning premiers and missed the 8.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

The Bloods got an 18% increase over 2022.

The biggest increase was for Norf who got 250k fans. Expect the promise of free pies to attend game helped. That or folk are assuming they will relocate to Tas.

Roy Morgan is a whacky bloke, I'm surprised the Swans aren't rightfully accredited as being the most supported club in the World.

Well that is super embarrassing for Souf Melbourne

We need a new stadium 80k capacity to replace the too small rickety SCG. Members can’t get seats.

The stadium will be built in the middle of Randwick. The entire complex will cater to AFL, Test Cricket and all weather racing.

With the numbers RM are claiming you really need a purpose built 500k+ stadium, I would just bulldoze half of Sydney and turn it into a huge sports arena, its a win win.

Does this mean there will be an Autumn Carnival held at a racetrack instead of a swamp?

Maybe it needs a roof too so the New Years test isnt reduced to 3 days nearly every year

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

We also have a plan for a Bespoke Ground at Albert Park. Our away games will be played there and we will rent it to the AFL Clubs stuck in the Docklands tomb. With capacity of 60k it will have a proper roof.

Rents to the AFL will not be entirely ruinous.

You are correct.
