[QUOTE="Kiwiwomble, post: 994933, member: 45355"] we're talking about Aus...so yeah, im talking about aus. yes there are loads of other sports here (i live in melbourne) but i think its struggled because its just been run poorly for the last 10-15 years, this country is sports MAD...all kinds of sports...they can get 80k to a mid table mid season (as in nothing to play for) game of AFL. yes, you wont achieve that but when i see the the football teams and the passionate fans....and compare it to never seeing any advertising for the Rebels... Yes, we all know RSA is a huge market....but its just not palatable to lots of fans let alone the casual ones, just time of day....and if im honest, the RSA union just throw their weight around too much, never let anyone forget you've got all the money and if anyone questions it the rumors of RSA joining the northern hemisphere start up RSA gets to have all these lovely day games...the kind of thing that you might be able to get the casual fan along too....but not only does that mean we have to get up and watch games at 1-3am...we also have to have all these night games because it makes for better viewing times in RSA 100% RSA has loads of money...some people are just re thinking if its worth it...especially if Aus disappeared, even less games at a good time to watch...so potentially loosing more support i think people need to realise there is a lot of people that love seeing the Boks...but really dont care about the super games, viewing figures drop hugely between a NZ derby game to ones v a struggling RSA team [/QUOTE]
