I just checked the site again, and lawn bowls has moved ahead of soccer.


Why is that a big deal?


It's not a big deal.

I'm simply reporting it because on this particular survey, on the same page which is linked, the two great sports of soccer and lawn bowls are neck to neck - and we all love a tight contest.


Not if you're an AFL fan :lol:

2) As afro said, they aren't raw numbers about anything substantial. Some people have just taken the piss and voted lawn bowls.


I accept that's a possibility, although we don't know for sure.

It's also a possibility that Brisbane has a great percentage of retirees.

Another possibility is that has more anglo-celt retirees than southern Europeans (who would most likely opt for bocce).

They're not "raw numbers" they're biased statistics.


I would agree with you that its not exactly the most scientific survey you are ever going to come across, nevertheless, it's there on the same page of the article which was linked, and I've simply made a reference to it in passing.

Anyway, as I said, soccer has come from behind to overtake lawn bowls, so I would have thought that is a good result and positive news.

One can see from my posts that my reporting of the survey results was completely unbiased.

Just because you keep repeating it doesn't give it any more significance. It's in an internet survey, being asked on a AFL-oriented article on an NRL/AFL oriented publication.

mister football is like that annoying little brother, who keeps poking you and poking you, until you turn around and smash him one in the face.
im not saying violence is the answer, as I am being totally unbias in how I pass my opinion about.

I'd say 100% of people here would agree with you. I'm not being bias, it's just a fact.

Soccer and lawn bowls are neck to neck again, at 7% each, so this is as tight a contest as you will find anywhere.

A 3rd player has emerged.

"None of the above" is also at 7%, and I suspect that would include a lot of bocce afficionados.
