It can be concluded from this graph that the age of a supporter does not have as greater bearing on whether they’d still follow the game as I originally thought. I did not expect 46 % of people over 25 years old who would probably have been following the game for a long time, possibly even be more aligned with tradition, to answer "probably would" or "yes I would". The uncertainty is far greater amongst the youngest respondents and clearly the great majority of respondents over 25 are pretty certain on whether they’ll still follow the game if their club folds.

  This graph concludes that the great majority of respondents who have been following the game for less than 15 years 'probably would' or 'would' still follow the game. The respondents who have followed the game for more than 15 years are predominantly more on the side of tradition. But still a third of the supporters who have been following the game for more than 15 years answered "yes I would". However many more long time fans answered negatively. Therefore it can be concluded from this survey that the long time fans are less likely to still follow the game if their team did not survive.

' The comparisons between the regular attendants and the less regular on whether they’d still follow the game are very even. According to the results it could be concluded that frequency of attendance does not have a great affect on a fan’s decision in still following the game if their team did not survive. However, there is a greater percentage of less frequent attendants saying Yes than regular attendants. This may mean that the regular attendants are more aligned with tradition and so loyal to their team they will not follow the game if they are cut.

I originally thought that most respondents who watched every game probably would still follow the game if their team did not survive. These types of fans are fanatical about the game as a whole, not only their favourite team, it would be very difficult for them to lose interest. Those channel nine only viewers while most of the respondents would still follow the game, they are not as loyal to the game as the footy fanatics. It is significant that those who watch their favourite team and some others rank the highest in "yes I would" and "definitely not" and are by far the most certain.

I originally thought that those fans who didn’t follow with much interest in 1997 when there were two competitions would be less likely to still follow the game because they would have become sick of the game and its constant changing format. But these results show otherwise. Most of the respondents who didn’t follow with as much interest answered more positively and less negatively than the other two groups. It can be concluded from this that some supporters have accepted that the superleague war is past and they are behind the game they love all the way.

I originally thought that respondents who bought a rugby league magazine would be more likely to still follow the game but this appears not to have such a strong effect on their loyalty to the game. In fact rugby league magazine buyers answered more negatively and less positively than non-magazine buyers. It can be concluded that rugby league magazine buyers are not necessarily the most loyal league supporters.
