2008 Crowd Watch - Final Totals in Post #3778

[Brutus]

What's the weather like in Brisbane?

It's sh*t here near the SFS.

Looks like our chances of potential huge crowds tonight are ruined.

Well it looks like torrental rain at both venues.... Lets show some back bone Broncs, Saints, Roosters fans get out there in big numbers get wet youll be ok.

Meanwhile Parra fans like me will stay on the couch with heater on....

The rain has cleared overnight in Brisbane, still pretty grey but apparently the wet stuff (fingers crossed) will stay away.

Bought two tix for the in-laws a few hours ago, actually - they're one of hopefully many who adopted a wait and see attitude regarding the weather and have now decided to come along to farewell Wayne, TC and a gazillion others

PAX number on the tix, if it means anything at all, was around 36,400. I'm hoping for 40+, but won't hold my breath.

Would be aiming for 45,000 minumum if it was on a Sunday afternoon. Possibly nudging 50k.

Still only sprinkle here near the SFS. Lets hope it stays that way or stops.

Weather update in Brisbane?

Sydney is farked.

 

[dragondad]

I think the crowd for tonight just went from 30k to 15k.

Just ducked outside for a minute (near Roma Street, 15 minute walk from Suncorp) and all looks pretty good. No real rain for over three hours, fair bit of sunshine about and a few (non-threatening) crowds.

Should be a great night for footy!

The rain has been f**king sh*te for the NRL for the past couple of years.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Such a shame really...Was looking forward to watching the Roosters v Dragons game with the terraces on the Eastern side of the field packed with people.

 

[Brutus]

You watch, the f**king weather will fine up in Sydney for the Swans game tomorrow night.

 

[The Tank]

The attendance looks really bad - 5k or some sh*t. For the Swans it'll be pure sunshine.

 

[wittyfan]

Forecast is clearing and 16 degrees.
