What more popular in Oz, normal football, or aussie rules?

Question

which has the biggest fan base.. ?

Answer 1

The biggest fan base would probably be AFL they seem to attract bigger crowds, however i wouldn't say they're the more popular. In Victoria, definitely but the Melbourne Storm from NRL AND the recent Soccer World Cup AS WELL as the last Orgin decider that was held in Melbourne has done alot to undercut the support that was once enjoyed by the AFL. My brothers live in Melbourne and up until last year my nephew was an avid AFL follower. Then he caught the Socceroos bug and now he plays soccer and that's true of ALOT of families who once supported AFL only.

But i think it's a very Aussie thing to support anything that is essentially Ozzie like the Socceroos or the underdog Qld Maroons...Aussies will give support wherever its needed.

Answer 4

AFL by far. It's fast catching the Rugby codes in NSW and Qld. Soccer is starting to do well now that they have restructured the comp.

Answer 5

AFL

Answer 6

Aussie Rules certainly has the highest attendance. In NSW and Queensland, Rugby League I think would still be the most supported of the codes, though the Sydney Swans have a loyal following an attract crowds that equal or surpass League crowds. Though Soccer (football) is the fastest growing participation wise for youngsters according to recent statistics.

I love them all so it's not a problem for me.
