Brutus said:Sorry I lie, for some reason I had that figure in my head for that game.
It should read: Up from the 29,542 in 2005.

A decent crowd, almost exactly what I expected. Should get somewhere above 30k on Friday... hopefully 40k but that's probably pushing it.

I am sorry my view clashes with yours.
However, you may want to get out into eastern sydney (or even other parts) and start handing out tickets.
My club got 50,612 to a game this weekend.
If your club is to survive into the future and be capable of being a benifit to RL, then i suggest you work out ways to get your club getting as many people to attend and support them.
You had 100 years to do it, but you have failed. 12K. You are blind. The second least of Sydney teams, just in front of Manly. In a city that everyone knows currently has about 4 too many teams for the amount of people who care enough to pay to see sporting teams play!
Oh dear!!... Hello!!? Want to get back into the habit of helping out the falling perception of rugby league in your city!? Drop off the grapevine....cut the team!
ITS OBVIOUS NOOO OOONEE WILLL MIIIISSSS THEMMMM!!

You're aiming ridiculously low.

The Knights have been for one. The Roosters crowd this weekend has to be highly questionable. Everyone ( radio/TV who were at the ground also said it was a small crowd ) bar defensive Roosters fans thought their crowd was nowhere near 12,000. I mean if one side ( the broadcast side ) was completely packed ( which it wasn't ) and the other 3 sides of the ground are practically empty - and the capacity of the ground is 44,000 - I just cant see the figure being 12,000 - and nor could radio and television broadcasters at the ground who commented on the announced attendance as being questionable.
It's not like the Roosters have been squeaky clean in recent years in regard to fudging crowd figures.
It's not just them though, I've been to Newcastle games this year, where there was no way the crowd was the official attendance listed.
In the end, crowd figures mean bugger all. The bottom line profits in the clubs will be the true indicator of where our game/clubs are at attendance wise, because an attendance figure that looks good in the paper cannot compensate for the true reality of the situation - the accountants balance sheet at the end of the day.
Clubs can kid themselves all they want, but it comes out in the end in the annual reports.

What I don't get is that you unveiled a statue of Dally Messenger on THE VERY SAME DAY....lol.....pause for a laugh....AND NO ONE REALLY CARED to turn up for that??
well if that don't show you how much sydney cares about league and its tradition, and the history, then nothing will.
Dally is supposedly (nsw keeps telling us) one of the greatest sportsman in this country's history.....and when you unveil a statue of him at sydney's best ground....no one shows up to mark the occasion.
Some celebration....a questionable crowd....all very dubious.
It just gets worse and worse for the image you are trying to uphold.
Thats pathetic. Have some respect, Sydney...
