even lower now then. So just the hardcore lioness fans left
|
|
By:
It's another benchmark, as 25 is undoubtedly more interesting, even tho 24 was olympics
|
|
By:
A shame they didn't put Bronze or Russo in too. Could have been a top 3
|
|
By:
Give us a % vote vs audience from farah?
Included multivote too |
|
By:
Last year was dismal for an Olympic year, for sure
|
|
By:
I think I did that earlier? wasn't there about 500K votes or so? So about 200K voters?
|
|
By:
And audience? So a small proportion actually voting
|
|
By:
Surely, there are going to many who watch this that represent that YouGov sample though - undecideds? There may not be 50% undecided, but still a fair chunk
|

By:
Maybe easier to vote now, arguably

The 2017 BBC Sports Personality of the Year (SPOTY) award ceremony was watched by an average of 9 million viewers,
|
|
By:
Most watching will have a bbc account, even the mems
|
|
By:
Yeah, tiny amount of voters. Weird innit. About 2 - 3 percent
|
|
By:
Unbelievably low
|
|
By:
Mead and Earps probably got 1M votes. So BBC very confident
|
|
By:
Say 5 million, sounds better
|
|
By:
That's it, I feel like the image of thousands of fans eagerly waiting to place a vote for their sporting hero are not reality. Nowadays. Hardly anyone votes, and those that do decide to on the night. In my opinion.

Probably already engraved Chloe's name on the trophy

And the human interest stories are persuasive to this audience.
|

By:
No one knows really. Other than the BBC. You probably won't get 1000 again on a lioness in 2027 though, if Chloe wins. And the hamster takes 2nd

I'm confident in a lot of that to be honest, but not how the bbc will play it exactly. I'm confident the market is still basing it on old style spoty, just like it did when streaming came along.

While ramming that fence up your arse :)
|
|
By:
I feel today is a good day, upset everyone by now :)
|
|
By:
I genuinely don't know if the 'fans' will still turn up to vote, when they no longer regularly watch the show, never mind vote. As I've mentioned, it's not been tested since spoty was popular, in my opinion.
|
|
By:
Total nonsense, here we have 3 f1 fans who know when the show is and are awaiting to vote for lando.
To say a mem on a sofa with no advance opinion is a more likely voter is bibble |
|
By:
I said I don't know. We won't get much info to prove or disprove either, alas. Aside from the finishing order, we will get the barb overnight average.

And we so know this is wot won it for Mo 8 years ago. At least it cam comfortably be inferred for his previous record. |

By:
You do sense Mo won it on the night
|
|
By:
Mo certainly won it on the night
|
|
By:
This year I reckon it will be decided beforehand. f1 fans we know love to vote in this. Lioness fans we have no real idea. Other than 2 won it in weak years
We know golf fans don't turn up and vote in big numbers. They'll probably be watching GB news and moaning about wokeness |
|
By:
Amazing, once in 100 years lol. Well done there mo
|
|
By:
Mo and 2017 was crazy. Top 4 ranged from 73k to 84k, so it was a blanket finish.

The lads achievements will be overlooked by the girls hardship stories I'm confident in a lot of that to be honest, but not how the bbc will play it exactly. I'm confident the market is still basing it on old style spoty, just like it did when streaming came along. this |

Glorified popularity contest, biggest hardship story wins this year out of the lionesses
The fans that have turned off the most are hardcore men sports fans |
|
By:
haha
 |
|
By:
Motorsports fans great voters. Boxing, not so much
Without the studio a total unknown biker wins |

By:
hannah always had one, Chloe just created one this week
