so canberra, warriors and storm crowds should be ignored eh?

sydney does have too many teams

21,000 is nothing great

however, it'd be good if there'd be crowds like that every week in Syd

the sydney crowd average is around 15,000 so not that far off.

and above many so called expansion teams.

what was the cowboys crowd on friday night dopey?
:lol:

yes, once the crowd is 22,000 then it becomes great

To tell you the truth I was quite impressed by Canberra's crowd today considering the conditions.

Warriors and Storm are expansion teams & their crowds could be increased if the NRL worked to help them (I know this isn't going to happen).

It'll be interesting to see how Melbourne's crowds change when they get a half decent ground though

It was the Cowboys' 11th loss in a row, I'm surprised anyone turned up! :lol:

Friday night is crap for Cowboys games as it stops all the regional fans (& there's a lot of them) from attending.

if sydney teams are getting better crowds than melbourne, warriors and the raiders, then its not the sydney teams holding things back but these ones isnt it.

so the whole idea of saying there are too many sydney teams is dumb if people are basing it on crowds.

which they are.

what are the cowboys averaging this season.

since a cowboys fan doesnt think 21,000 is much of a crowd, he should apply it to his club too.

21,000 is a fantastic crowds.

especially in a market that apparently has too many teams, and with a club that news ltd said had no future.

[DangerMouse_007]

They get 80000 for the grand final too and thats played in Sydney. Thats bigger than any crowd the expansion teams ever get. Maybe there should be more teams in Sydney because of this?

It's not just crowds, but sponsorship & general revenue

Brissy made $24 million last year, Titans are predicting $22 million this year. Meanwhile no team in NSW made a profit last year, that's a problem no matter how you look at it.

With proper management & membership drives maybe the Sydney clubs will all survive, though it'd be good for one to move the the Central Coast.

 

[donkey|rope]

21,000 is a good crowd only because Sydneysiders have diminished our expectations to the point where we now have been fooled into thinking that this number is adequate in a city of 4.2 million.

 

[Pete Cash]

No don't you get it, cities that have populations that are tiny compared to Sydney should be able to get more people in. It is basic anti-maths.

those figures are revenues not profits.

the broncos made around $3 million profit on $24 million revenues.

some sydney clubs are spending around $20 million (souths).

your comment about membership is what im getting at.

All will survive if they do what souths and the dogs are doing well.
