Hmm, really? Was that why I was cold and wet at Olympic Park last night? :crazy:

 

[camsmith]

Err... its a winter sport.

Dont think there is any excuse.

The majority of Sydney RL supporters suck
Can't see the Roosters getting very many at all for the rest of the season

Damn, why the ordinary crowds tonight?

Everybody stayed home to watch the Bledisloe Cup match.

Well what a surprise that is. Not only do the two teams who drew the highest crowd play out of rugby league's heartland, but it was also played in a city that is obsessed with AFL ;-)

 

[Ice777]

Newcastle crowd will be boosted by the EnergyAustralia Kids Free Day promotion for the Storm game, which will be a nice help.

Considering Bulldogs and Dragons are 2nd and 3rd, you would hope that the game at Oki Jubilee will be sold out, however as for the rest, there is a big gap between potential crowd and worse case scenario.

For the Warriors, if their fans decide to show the club the support thats been lacking the last few weeks, they could push 14K, but that said, a sub 10K crowd wont surprise me.

Raiders v Wests Tigers is a game for two teams just outside of the eight, a win could get them in, so again another game that should get 14K, but it could only get 10K depending how well the Raiders promote it.

Hopefully Sharks fans travel in force to the SFS....that said I don't think the Roosters will announce a crowd sub 8K for the rest of the season.

.....Can't wait for the Broncos to get some home games again

 

[Brutus]

The Dragons v Bulldogs will be 19,000 plus. It should go close to selling out the new 20,000 capacity Oki Jubilee.

Well done Melbourne for attracting the biggest crowd of the weekend in AFL land!
