21,818.

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.

yeah 1 city towns should do well as they dont compete with other clubs

many dont.

 

[dallymessenger]

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.

the titans are averaging around 22,000 and 2nd on the crowd stakes.

maybe its the titans who have fooled us into thinking 22,000 is a good crowd?

The population of Canberra is only around 300k. You are also being a little dishonest because sometimes Sydney clubs play against other Sydney sides and should be able to get decent crowds from both home and away supporters.

 

[Brownie.Kougari]

those figures are revenues not profits.

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

Really? Righto, my bad. I was lead to believe that that was the profits.

all the more reason to keep them (sydney teams in)

cowboys crowds are over 20,000 from a smaller population.

if sydney clubs keep marketing like they are, they will match those revenues.

though i think if the salary cap were larger the broncos would push their memberships more and make more revenues.

now they dont push them as much because they are limited in how much they can spend on players.

are you actually that stupid or just mentally deficient?

:lol:

hey if its because sydney has brought everyones expectations down, ill just remind people that the team coming second in crowds are getting pretty much the same crowd as souths got today

21,000 is a fantastic crowd and it was quite cold today too

If Brissy had the same membership drive the Titans have been having we'd be averaging 40-45K, no doubt.. f**king news... (yes, we hate them too)

 

[Butters]

Both.

So according to Chandos, Sydney teams who draw from a much larger population for crowds yet average crowds smaller than Teams with much smaller populations (Cowboys, Gold Coast etc) is a reason to keep the Sydney teams in the comp?

i think the broncos will crack 40,000 soon myself.

good to hear your comments on news, but they will never let your club go

 

[Apey]

i didn't think it was a great crowd :?

Lauchlan Murdoch's a Broncos fan so at the end of the day he'll try and help the club succeed as opposed to milking it 'till it dies, I guess that makes it a little easier to swallow.

Interesting story can't remember where I heard it but Wayne Bennet wanted to take over the Broncs with the Thoroughbreds (a group of successful businessmen associated with the club) & because of that, News went on a smear campaign against him (remember all those stories about hidden payments?) & that guy who owned a mining company who was disgraced by the media.

Anyways end of story the politics at the Broncos are rediculous, but remember News only have a 60% share, not 100% like with Melbourne. So there is hope! :lol:

yeah I was expecting 30,000.

How was the weather? Looked like a great day

pretty cold day, but no rain.

maybe the world youth day thing took off some fans as was going home from the game saw train loads of them coming home too

Wouldn't have made getting around the city any easier I'd imagine.

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

They went to the Telstra Dome in 01 and got pretty much the same crowds as what they do now

http://stats.rleague.com/rl/games/melbourne.html

But when they played the warriors in round 1 they got a good crowd at the Telstra Dome, so they should get good crowds at the new rectangular stadium

Wouldn't have made getting around the city any easier I'd imagine.

apparently over 100,000 live at randwick. most people go to homebush by train if they are coming from the east / city.

the roads werent affected anywhere other than the city.

their crowds have gone up but at Olympic park since then after the origin game down there.

id expect 20,000 in the new ground
