Adelaide United on LiveJournal
Adelaide United is a soccer team that plays in the A-League. On LiveJournal, 10 people list them as an interest. The community on LiveJournal is very regional. All 10 people list Australia as their country of residence. Of the nine who list their state of residence, all are from South Australia. Of the five who list their city of residence, all are from Adelaide. The extreme regional pattern of no or little fans outside their state of origin is comparable to blogger where zero fans are outside of SA and on bebo, where 5% or one fan is from outside SA. This pattern of regional based fanbases is one that appears to extend for much of the A-League that I’ve looked at so far.
Only three list their year of birth: 1985, 1987, 1990. Their average year of birth is 1987.3 and median year of birth is 1987. This puts their average age of 23 at slightly older than the United Fans on bebo (20) and younger than the United fans on blogger (26). This pattern of age group ordering going like has been pretty well established in earlier posts.
The range for most recently updating on LiveJournal is between 1 week and 284 weeks or five and a half years ago. Four have updated in the past month. Two have updated between between 18 months and 24 months ago. The remaining four updated between 3.5 and 5.5 years ago.
The fanbase isn’t particularly large any sort of wider conclusion. It will be interesting though to see if this pattern holds for the rest of the A-League on LiveJournal.
