Not really..giri said:
I can't find any example of Wallabies and Kangaroos playing at the same time. To give some idea what people would rather watch.
So this from September is the closest I can get:
6 Rugby League Final Series Qf2 Nine 737,000 471,000 23,000 224,000 5,000 13,000
19 Sevens R.U: Bledisloe Cup Rugby: Aus V N Z Seven 316,000 152,000 25,000 122,000 9,000 8,000
Not sure who was playing in the League, 2 Sydney teams I think (or 1 Sydney and 1 Canberra) Not the highest drawing matchup.
Then in November (all 1 week apart, near identical timeslots):
19 Sevens R.U: Bledisloe Cup Rugby: Aus V N Z Seven 378,000 177,000 23,000 164,000 1,000 12,000
14 Four Nations Rugby League 2010 Nine 472,000 246,000 40,000 171,000 9,000 7,000
(verse England)
11 Four Nations Rugby League 2010 Nine 642,000 338,000 17,000 277,000 3,000 6,000
(verse NZ)
Even on Fox the NRL massively out rates Super Rugby.

As does yours. I'm not the one saying that union is dying out. If you want to make outrageous (and downright stupid) claims like that then you are the one who has to back them up.
giri said:
I'm sorry but if you think that then you've never actually seen the ratings. Most Wallabies tests have terrible ratings.
Plenty of kangaroos games get well above 20K.
giri said:
No FTA station is going to pick up the rights to the super 15 because it rates poorly. Even on fox its ratings aren't very good.
After the next tv deals where AFL and NRL are both going to be getting more money it will be even more difficult.
giri said:
I know how big the comp is in the UK, i never said it was huge. NZ is a union country but league still does alright there.
Lebanon isn't that far away from having its own professional comp. I'm not sure whats wrong with mentioning PNG either.
giri said:
Sydney crowds are up for the NRL as well. How did the rest of the rugby comp do?
How can you possibly suggest the NRL is dying because of crowds and then with a straight face say that union is taking over?
Choc said:
No NRL clubs are going to go bust. The only one with any real chance is the sharks.
No doubt the wallbies have a strong core following but it doesn't change the fact that their games rate like shit.

possibly the police dont like soccer so they dont want to give up their own time to do it....
maybe they like F1, AFL and Tennis...
also what the fuck kind of state has police VOLUNTEERING to do sporting events.
in NSW they get paid by the venue owner to be there. No wonder you have fucking issues.
ridiculous.
Omi said:
i dunno man. read the sentences again. They imply its voluntary
"I make no apologies if we've put our riot police there or our public order management police at these events because, quite frankly, none of my police officers deserve to be punching bags when they've gone along on voluntary duties to police a sporting event for the betterment of the game."
may not be right but if you read it the way media is reporitng it...
so what he is saying is its ok for police to be punching bags in the middle of the week where you know they are forced to work.... but not when 'volunteering'
not exactly teh right fucking word is it

Like volunteering to work on a public holiday. Happens all the time.
Wonder if the Housos thing will make it to Media Watch (which is back for the year, by the way.)

My opinion on Qriocity:
What's the point of it if it's not mobile? The majority of my music listening (probably 95% at this stage), is done through my phone when I'm at work, or on the train, or in the car. And even if it was portable, does anyone else feel that a streaming music set up just isn't viable in Australia? No one is going to stream music over their 3G connection.
They should have done something like this - $13 for unlimited streaming and one album download per month.

That doesn't negate what I said about streaming, though. It's pointless. You'll have to be in a Wi-Fi hotspot if you want reliable service that doesn't kill your data cap.
Maybe when Telstra launch 20GB caps on their 4G network it will be good. Until then, I really think Sony are wasting their time.
Yeah, really, what you're not including in those ch7 rankings is the fact that it airs on Fox at the same time... so it's only including half the audience.user_nat said:
Plenty of roo's games don't, particularly outside of brisbane. They had a 3 game test series againt england where they didn't crack 15k for one game.
And when i'm talking those figures, thats attendance.
nah, like most sports that have an international season, they offer season ticket holders to the domestic teams, first option on the international games.Danoss said:
So for first chance to get a bledisloe ticket, yeah, get your self a season ticket holders pass to your states club.
AdventureRacing said:
Actually, all those things about those clubs, are real.
Actually, you couldn't be more wrong and are just talking out your ass. Ch 9 and Fox sports don't "share contracts", keep that in mind during this. ARU and the NZRU were offered more for their packaged rights by fox sports, than either could get seperately, it works in NZ because over there, fox has some deal where they are shown on FTA. Fox in Aus doesn't. I think just about every wallaby game is shown on FTA. But, you think what you want.
What i said about those clubs, was true. NCL were not allowed into their stadium last year for 8 weeks because they didn't pay their rates or electricity bill, iirc. (Thats foggy, not sure if it was over that, or sponsorship). You're welcome to look into the manly thing, but the majority owner got sick of putting in capital, and said he flat out refuses to do it anymore, and that the club has been running at a loss for years, and wants out. They couldn't find someone to buy his interest in the club.
As for crowds at all the super clubs not the waratahs, massively up. The waratahs are playing a horrible style of union that is extraordinarily boring, and they weren't winning whilst playing it. I couldn't blame no one for not wanting to go, it was god awful.
Considering I've made 2 comments on that blog, and that's 2 more comments than I've made on a blog in 2 years, I think you guys are doing some great stuff.Mar said:
I've never played Silent Hill (I love horror movies, I can't play horror games), but Silent Hill 2 has always facinated me considering how incredibly rich and deep the thought that went into it is. It just seems on an entirely different level when it comes to subtext, that even when the subtext is pretty much just bolded text, people still miss it.
There's not many games I can think of where you play it once and go 'That was fun' and then you look into it more and suddenly you go 'Oh...OOOOH...wow...OH, holy crap' again and again.

Borders and Angus & Robertson customers left holding gift certificates after the booksellers fell into voluntary administration are being told they must spend double the amount of each voucher in order to redeem the cards.

I wouldn't call it shitty, more... clever loss prevention by the administrators.Agyar said:
The company is clearly out of money, and if you go in and use that $50 gift card you've had in the drawer for 2 years (Borders gift cards don't expire) they are $50 worse off than now. If you spend $100 then they are at the same point.
Gift Cards are pretty shit though, I don't like receiving them at all. Which, incidentally, is why I have a 4 year old $15 card for Borders in my wallet now.
