I'd like to know how you're getting different figures to me? Am I missing 100 people somewhere?

I'll either add it up myself or go to rleague stats.

I figure that i just rounded down this week as it must have been below 18,192.5.

 

[yakstorm]

Round Eight is going to be an interesting one.....

It has the potential to be both good and bad.

Broncos at home should usually be a strong crowd, but considering their form so far this season, it will possibly mean this match draws only just over 20K.

Dragons at Oki, again should be a big crowd, but based on their last few crowds, I think this one will only get around 7K....

Warriors, after 2 wins in a row, as long as the weather is alright, the Auckland faithful should be out, and hopefully 16K will be there.

Wests Tigers v Storm at Central Coast should sell out, or go close to at least, so 18-19K there.

Parramatta v Roosters... could be anything from 10K to 17K.

Raiders v Sea Eagles - Raiders have been strong at home, and the fans have been turning up for MNF, will they turn up on a sunny sunday?

Bulldogs v Knights, again another type of game which could be be anything from 18K to 25K.

Titans v Cowboys, should be close to sell out at least, so another 18K.

 

[ByRd]

dogs wont get over 16k, i hope im proved wrong though

 

[bobmar28]

No, it won't.

All it will do is give the AFL disenfranchised NRL supporters to latch onto just like they did during Super League.

If a Parra and Penrith merger was announced, there'd be a Western Sydney AFL team within minutes of the announcement.

Why? They would still have their Western Panthers (in blue and yellow jerseys?) with sell out crowds once a month at CUA and Parramatta stadium. Wouldn't they still have their premier league and juniors?
Wests and Balmain merged to become Wests Tigers and I can tell you the Tigers are a huge success around here (Liverpool area). AFL has tried to muscle in but I think they have given up on that lately.

Souths have a fair smack of away support in QLD I think - we should see at least 25k or so there.
Dragons - based on team form and crowd form I won't hope for any more than 8-9k. And that's being optimistic.
Warriors should draw a motza against Cronulla - 7:30pm in Auckland.
Tigers v Storm - I'll be there, one can only hope it's a big crowd - it certainly has the potential.
Parra v Syd won't crack 10k.
Raiders v Manly - hmmm... hopefully 12k but who knows
Dogs v Knights - 15k max. Our fans are fickle.
Titans v Cowboys - 17.5k minimum.

Apart from the QLD & NZ games, we're f**ked. But I hope I'm proven wrong.

 

[ozzie]

do you mean the three Souths supporters are actually going to the game - on freebies? Who were playing Souths at Teltra this year? Wasn't there a bulldog match where they were heavily outnumbered by Dog Fans?

 

[Timmah]

:roll:

Your average might be healthy now - but you barking on about your crowd averages is fooling nobody. By the years end you'll be down at the Dragons' level, and Souths will continue to thrive.

 

[Raider Azz]

sunday afternoon, good weather forcast, coming off a great win, should be a great day in canberra for rugby league. will be plenty more than 12K there.

 

[Timmah]

I hope so, Canberra ate up MNF, now they've got a nice Sunday to deal with Based on previous crowds you'd hope at least 14-15 but who knows :crazy:

 

[yobbo84]

The Bulldogs game was pretty much 50/50... whenever a big support for the away team rocks up it always appears to be more because the cameras are on the same side where most of the home supporters sit... when you're actually there and take a look around you can make a better judgrment. Speaking of which, if it wasn't for the 15,000 Souths supporters at your round 1 game you're average would be much lower, so I'd be quiet for now if I were you!

 

[yobbo84]

I still maintain an average of 10k for the Dragons is absolutely pathetic. They have the largest supporter base in the NRL (no need for arguments - it's simple facts: 11 comps in a row led to almost a whole generation of supporters + kids = lots), they have been successful for a long time and have only been poor for what, 7 weeks... 10k is just terrible.

 

[Farva]

Seeeing as though the Dragons-Panthers game isnt live, i am gonna take a punt and say they should get 12k.

Two Sydney sides, well kinda.... Desperate times for both, good weather. Definitely above 10k.

 

[phonetic]

You still coming to Kogarah tomorrow night Dodger?!

And Yobbo, yes it is pretty pathetic.

 

[Timmah]

Yep, got the tickets already. I'll be on the hill getting plastered :crazy:

Awesome. You mean you bought from the Dragons website?? Prepaid collection? You'll end up in a longer queue than the people trying to buy at the gate.

But yeah, anyway, I'll be the guy in the Saints jersey on the 30 metre line at the St George hospital end. I'll see you there.

:LOL:

Yeh you're the only guy who wears a saints jersey in that part of the crowd?

Then again if the saints keep playing this way that might be the case.

 

[phonetic]

Surely, only a novocastrian could miss the sarcasm.

Never ever hang your hat on the Dragon platoon turning up to a home game. They have surprisingly little round on round active support in Sydney.

Dragons V Panthers will hopefully be 10K+ and any Sydney game should be 15K+ but don't be suroprised if it is down about 9,000 again given that the panthers simply won't cross town in the present circumstances. I'll be surprised if they number more than 500.

 

[brendothejet]

i'll be there.

next to phonetic.

See you there dodger.
