I stumbled over Fox playing the Sandown500 from 2003 this morning.
Tuned in just as Ambrose pitted for driver change and watched Ingall beach the lead car at T1. |

$108 for an adult ticket on Sunday to the Bathurst 1000. For Sunday! No pitpass, just a GA ticket. $148 if you want to put a foot in the paddock. This mob have lost the plot.

Bathurst is not the pinnacle of Australian sport
You cannot compare prices of mainstream sports like AFL or Rugby League with prices for niche stuff like motor racing. Motor Racing should never be expecting people to pay the same comparative dollars they would to watch a car race compared to what the main stream are prepared to pay to watch the footy. There is not enough of us. |

I got a 4 day pass, without paddock, for $141.
Not bad value I reckon. It's the price of the cans of medicine that beer me off.......... |

To claim that State of Origin is dying is a ridiculous and desperate comment Quote:
Bathurst is a popular Australian event and a household event in terms of everyone has heard of it, however in reality to the general population it most certainly is not at the same stature as the Ashes, the AFL Grand Final, Melbourne Cup or the Mens Final of the Australian Tennis Open. |

You are not looking at it realistically if you are claiming the State of Origin crowds were down this year by that much. Game 1 drew 50,390 at Suncorp Stadium Game 2 drew a sell-out 82,259 at ANZ Stadium Game 3 drew a sell-out 52,540 at Suncorp Where is your supposed missing 40,000? At most they were missing 2,150 from game 1... http://www.theroar.com.au/rugby-leag...rigin/results/ http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/spo...15de46a46b05b9 http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/spo...15de46a46b05b9 State of Origin Game 3 was also the most watched TV show of 2017, so the people are still watching on TV too http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/...13-gxab63.html Quote:
http://www.speedcafe.com/2016/10/11/...bathurst-1000/ By comparison, This years Mens Final of the Australian Tennis Open drew 4.4 million viewers, still well below the most watched Australian Tennis Open Final in 2005, which drew in 5.56 million http://www.theaustralian.com.au/busi...dea8430c2ed19e Bathurst certainly draws in attention, and is a well known Australian event, but quite clearly the likes of the Tennis Open are more appealing to a wider audience. You also need to look at AFL crowd numbers and TV ratings, both per capita out strips motor racing by a country mile. I don't even understand how that can be in question? We are all racing fans, but it is foolish to lose sight of where it is really placed on the sporting landscape of Australia. |

I'm just here to discuss the three Supercars endurance events coming up.
Should be a doozy, for all concerned. |

The trouble with using statistics to support an argument is that they can usually be twisted to support any side. Yes, State of Origin numbers attendances were down in 2017 compared to 2016, by about 8000. And 2016 was down by about 31,000 when compared to 2015, so yes, on those numbers, the game surely must be losing popularity! But look closer: This year, 2 games were at the smaller capacity Suncorp Stadium, with 1 at ANZ. In 2016, 2 games were at the larger capacity ANZ Stadium, with 1 at Suncorp. The capacity of ANZ is listed as 83500, Suncorp 52500. So with 31,000 less seats to sell, of course numbers were going to be down!!! And in 2015. there was 1 game at Suncorp, 1 at ANZ, and 1 at the MCG, with the biggest crowd of all 3 years at over 91,000 people. Next year, the game comes back to Melbourne again; let's see what that does to the numbers! As for the motorsport popularity test - I like to consider what proportion of a diverse group of people not connected to or by sport are interested in or can old an informed conversation about motorsport, cricket, AFL (I live in Melbourne), or tennis? In any workplace or schooling environment I have spent time at, motorsport has been the least popular of the 4. Yes, it is my favourite - but I/we are in the minority. If we weren't, the daily print media would be giving it a lot more attention. How many pages of print do AFL/NRL/cricket/tennis grand slams get compared to motorsport??? Tons!
