Poor crowd at Penrith
Kick 'em out.

Solid crowds all around - ANZ slightly disappointing but 17k is far more than we would've gotten vs Warriors under any other circumstance (apart from Thanks Haz day), usually we get 10-12k or less vs NZ @ ANZ.
Never understood why Penrith had an upgrade yet less fans turn out.Poor crowd at Penrith
I will be putting a crowd watch stats thread into Game Day Spoilers and will keep it updated as we go through the season, this one here will be for discussion, predictions etc.

No it isn't. Neither the panthers or Roosters are particularly big draws and 14,000 is pretty much par for Sydney if we exclude blockbusters. I'd say the attendance was within the range most would predict.
SorryDid this ever eventuate?
But the fact that Mortimer has come out and said the Eels are prepared to win ugly tonight certainly won't help the crowd figure,I doubt anyone would be inspired to go to tonight's game after hearing that.
We haven't had a four figure crowd yet, the longest ever drought at the start of the season.
Yup, all is looking good. If we can get through tonight, it will be almost certainly Sydney v Canberra next Saturday that breaks the duck - Round Six - 43 games into the season.Round 5 - Apr 9-12

Pretty good figures so far, still nothing under 10k, although that could be the dreaded mark we hit tomorrow night. Still, 39 games without a four-figure crowd is a very positive result regardless of the averages not being up on previous seasons.
