Most popular Australian athletes, clubs, leagues and sport organizations on Twitter (October 11)

Posted by Laura on Tuesday, 12 October, 2010

This is an updated version of Most popular Australian athletes, clubs, leagues and sport organizations on Twitter (version 2) and Most popular Australian athletes, clubs, leagues and sport organizations on Twitter (October 4). If I’m missing anyone or anything, let me know.


Unlike previous posts where I showed the total followers, I’ve decided to show just the top 25. After that, I have a table which shows the total difference in followers. The most recent columns may be a bit inaccurate in that a couple of new accounts were added to that list and a few either weren’t counted for some reason or were deleted. This accounts for a few of the people on the extremes.

25 most popular Australian sport related accounts as of October 11

Most popular Australian athletes, clubs, leagues and sport organizations on Twitter (October 4)

Posted by Laura on Monday, 4 October, 2010

This is an updated version of Most popular Australian athletes, clubs, leagues and sport organizations on Twitter (version 2). If I’m missing anyone or anything, let me know.

The top 10 are unchanged since the last time I ran this. Stephanie Rice gained one place, going from 12 to 11. RealBigDell moved from 13 to 12. LionsRugbyTeam dropped from 11 to 13.  harry_o moved from 19 to 15. NRL and SamBurgess8 both dropped one. jarrydhayne_1 moved from 17 to 19. karmichaelhunt and jimstynes swapped places with jimstynes going up one and karmichaelhunt going down one. Of the top 20, warne888 gained the most total new followers with 15,055. LionsRugbyTeam gained the least with 144. harry_o, who had the biggest gain, had 2304 new followers. The biggest overall loser is BENJI_MARSHALL6 who lost 33 followers.

Posted by Laura on Wednesday, 15 September, 2010

This is an update on my September 13 post. I’ve added roughly about fifty more athletes. I want to improve the list some more and try to update this list regularly during the Commonwealth Games to see if those individual athletes gain a following during them. If I’m missing anyone or anything, let me know.

Popularity of Australian sports leagues across various social networks

Posted by Laura on Saturday, 13 March, 2010

I’ve been checking the number of people who list a team as an interest across a number of social networks.  Yesterday, for networks where I had information on 215 teams I have on my list, I added together the number of people who listed a team as an interest in various leagues.  I got the following table.

Victorian Amateur Football Association 1 1
WNBL 38 9 29
Women’s Flat Track Derby Association 760 760

Interesting to see what networks have what populations.  The WNBL is only really an interest on 2 networks while the AFL is present on every network.  These networks all have different population sizes so total numbers is really apple to oranges in some ways.  I then decided to rank the leagues by how popular they were on each network.  The most popular league ranks 1, the next most popular league ranks 2.  If there is a tie, they share the same rank.  The results of that are in the following table:

This table is a bit more interesting.  Across most networks, the AFL is the most popular league.  The NRL is the second most popular league.  First class cricket, compromising state cricket teams, is the third most popular.  The A-League and Super 14 are close behind.  When you get down near the bottom, patterns become interesting.  The WNBL is not as popular as Women’s Flat Track Derby Association.  This is largely a result of the large number of fans on Facebook.  AFL Canberra is also more popular than the VFL.  This is because of the high rank on JournalFen.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_attendance_figures_at_domestic_professional_sports_leagues lists the attendance by league for six Australian sports leagues in 2009.  I cannot find a better list of attendance data for Australian sports league, especially the minor leagues.  That makes the rest of this analysis a bit problematic but moving forward anyway… This data is then put into the following table:

League Average rank Total people Total attendance 2009 Average attendance 2009
AFL 1.30 266884 6370350 36195
NRL 1.77 180242 3084481 16065
Super 14 3.2 49838 2021376 21504
A-League 3.37 73559 1166966 12966
NBL 3.14 7899 644976 3665
First class cricket 4.42 34574 308590 18153

For total number of people attending during the course of a season, it certainly seems to track with the average league rank on the social networks in this sample.  Total people and total attendance seems to track some too.  I ran the correlation to confirm these observations:

Total attendance 2009 Average attendance 2009
Average rank -0.892632665 -0.511836009
Total people 0.949552518 0.769754845

Total attendance does correlate meaningfully.  Average attendance isn’t as meaningful but the correlation is still relatively strong.  There is a relationship there.

I’ve found that similar relationships exist with American baseball teams.  The issue of course is: Cause and effect.  Does high fan attendance lead to more fans listing their teams as an interest on social media? Or does becoming interested in a team on social media sites lead people to attending games?  It feels like the first but I have no evidence either way.
