Dogs will drop like stones from that average...

As will Souths. We have a lot of part-timers.

if dogs get a form reversal I think we can finish this season averaging over 20k. But we definately need to improve our form for that to happen. We have a few blockbusters still to come including Parramatta and Souths.

On Triple m it sounded like there were 20 000 there, anyway well done Raiders fans for getting out there considering the cold!

excellent crowd considering the two clubs position and recent performances.

Had it been played on a saturday night (as would usually occur) I'd say the crowd would have been around 8,000

Canberra have a history of over-achieving (and I don't mean that negatively) when they stage MNF

It was a quite balmy 10 deg, Saturday night at the same time was 5 deg.

[dragondad]

[Chapsta]

Felt like 16/17k at the ground.

 

[dallymessenger]

there was over 16,000 there tonight.

the offical figure given was ludicruos.

and i was at the ground.

 

[Brutus]

12,000 is a poor crowd for the second-placed side against another Sydney team.

However I do agree, on tv it did seem like 16k.

just goes to show.....

anyway, suburban grounds have run their course.....could not imagine too many more people would want to goto a suburban hole like that

I disagree that they have run there course, they need to be upgraded to be more comfortable but still they are better than playing multiple games out of ANZ stadium.

The renovations done at cronulla over the years have turned it into a comfy place to watch footy, however until they drop the prices I wont return to that ground (full price to get in and then extra to sit down on the concourse! f**k off)

 

[Chook Norris]

yea crowd last night seemed a bit bigger

but i did see a stand with a lot of empty seats

 

[Dutchy]

At least we are a club who doesnt botch our crowd numbers to make ourselves look better.

 

[camsmith]

If we can stay above 13K by the seasons end i'll be pretty happy with that. Of course i'd love it to stay where it is now but even if we go down to 13K that'll put us 1300 over what we had last year which would be a fair effort.

Hopefully with a good season this year and the new stadium to come after next season we can keep building up for there. Things are looking more positive down here than what they ever have for the Storm.

Hopefully we can get a machine that accurately counts the crowd at the new stadium.
