I saw on Twitter that someone did the maths and the 9k at Shanghai is a comparable figure of 166 in terms of games in Oz against per capita of course. Not really a great figure to use unless your comparing the same national game. But it gives you an idea if how much of a **** the Chinese give about AFL, and that's very little **** at the moment.am Bays wrote:Anyone know the population of Shanghi?
Just wondering if the ~9500 at Shanghi, is proportion to the 10634 that rocked up in Darwin out of the 150000 in the greater Darwin area?

Shanghai's population is 26mil. So that's about the population of Australia.

so they can't fill a stadium with a population of 26mil... Interesting

As I said, I agree with the venture and applaud you for it but why do the AFL/Port feel the need to lie about the crowd figures. All week in the lead up “It’s a sellout, blah, blah” and then they pan to a 3/4 empty stadium. Just tell it like it is or if the AFL is concerned about the look, give a stack of tickets away or even pay people to go

Gold Coast would be the obvious choice.
Port have initiated the experiment, it has moderate success and is great for putting it out there for the world to see but Gold Coast bear the Chinese colours and could generate a lot more money for their economy up there opposed to Melbourne or Adelaide, I'd sooner Port not go over there and concentrate on finishing off a season, I'd rather us have our bye in round 14 than 12.

Despite the brevity of my post it doesn't assume Bums on seat are the be all and end all.
However to say the AFL and other stakeholders involved in this venture wouldn't like to se more Bums on seats is as equally misleading, if anything as an additional measure to validate the "cut-through" or awareness within this "new' market of this significant investment.

Few points there boon, I guess we don't really understand what is involved with the deal. The AFL will always be concerned with its optics no matter what.Booney wrote:am Bays wrote:Booney wrote:If any of you think the success of the venture relies on bums on seats you need to pay closer attention.

The "cut through" we're seeking went to the gala dinner on Friday night and have lanyards around their necks with a button up shirt, the ones waving the free flag on the outer aren't the money makers.
Agreed however, as the AFL put it, the "optics" aren't great. Then again neither is 14,000 at the MCG and Kennett crying foul that the Hawks are being hard done by. *sob*
