Does this include bandwagon supporters and groupies?DRAGONZ said:Broncos do average the highest "crowd support". This is correct.
However, despite Cappen's use of "crowd support", I am pretty sure the term that he intended to use (based on what he wrote afterwards) is "fan base".
In terms of supporter base, South Sydney do have the largest, and this is, as Cappen said, followed by the Dragons. But still, Souths fans are nowhere to be seen, in reality. After Charity Shield this year they were parading around as if they had won a grand final. 42 - 10 and two competition points certainly stuck it up to them.
Then again, when comparing the fastest growing supporter base, I am pretty sure that the Bulldogs are the team to beat. They had the most merchandise sales in 2004 (for obvious reasons).
I didnt bring it up. Just telling someone Broncos have biggest home crowdDRAGONZ said:ARE bandwagon supporters counted in a club's fan base? I dunno...
I mean, clubs would obviously attempt to put them there... but they aren't really true supporters, are they?
The thing about Souths is that they do have a huge bunch of supporters who won't readily admit it unless they are winning. Think back to Charity Shield and Round 2 this season (49 - 26 over Eels) where everyone was ringing up radio stations saying how they have been Rabbits fans for twenty years and they think this is the year they will make top 8 blah blah blah... Those people have since disappeared.
Nonetheless, they still support the club through the bad times, despite their lack of willingness to tell everyone about it.
It's a bit of a contentious issue, though. I can't see anyone really caring who has the biggest supporter base anyway.
