12,017 at NZ. Can't find a Melbourne crowd yet.
42.2k at Suncorp. About what I was expecting.
Thursday it was stated that 47k had been sold, and this morning 50k. However, the crowd was 42k? Everytime a near sell out is promoted it never seems to be the case, probably keeping walk ups away too.
Two games of AFL on at the same time (made me miss the game today) and a few other things on at Melbourne Park including Melbourne Victory fan day wouldn't have helped things.
We always draw a bad crowd against Canberra too... usually a 7k type crowd at OP so any more is a bonus especially considering *puts NSWRL supporter hat on* the weather today that was expected to be pretty bad.
yep.. wtf is going on there. 50k 'sold' and the whole upper tier behind the goal posts are empty
The empty top bay takes about 3, 3.5K people, which accounts for the 48.5K sold.42 seemed right, the entire northern end bay up top was empty and there were pockets of empty seats in places. Disappointing to hear it was close to a sellout when that wasn't the truth.

now that the hayneplane has been destroyed the next parra homegame will be lucky to get to 10k. bandwagoners
