We're the second most supported club??!? What the?
I would have thought we'd be way down the bottom! I cannot believe there are that many supporters when AFL in NSW is such a non-event! The commentators are always against sydney, the newspapers have 10 page lift outs on rugby and the most AFL gets is a 2 page spread - IF we win! Like today - the telegraph has ONE article on the swans.
How on earth did they get all of that information? I can't quite get my head around those figures...Unless the supporters are the silent type who if they *had* to pick i team then i *guess* it would be sydney...
Very interesting stuff. Thanks for posting that link!
