lol 'dark clouds' is such a lame excuse.
lol 'dark clouds' is such a lame excuse.
it makes people less inclined to go out, especially families. and therefore crowds will always be noticeably lower
13,781 in Auckland
Going to make an early call and i hate saying it but the season average will finish around 15,000 imo
6% drop in 1 year?
was 5% in 2006, doubt youd see such a drastic drop again
It was pouring at Cronulla on and off all day, before the game and during the game.. 10k wasn't too bad all things considering.
As for the ARLC grand vision of a 20k average that seems delusional at this stage and i hope someone in the media hounds them about it.
ANZ Stadium needs a big crowd tomorrow. Given Dragons and Bulldogs have two of the largest supporter bases in Sydney, factoring in weather, anything less than 30k will be disappointing. 30k is the pass mark IMO. If the NRL are going to give them a marquee public holiday matchup in June (Queen's Birthday Holiday), then both teams need to deliver the goods tomorrow and show they are worthy of that.
Look across the remaining rounds, there are maybe 5 rounds that will go above a 16k average so its going to be a long hard season of disappointing crowds to come
We had 2 crowds of 11,000 today in decent weather and reasonably priced. Both should have been closer to or exceeding 15k for any sign of progress being made

Stop playing games at ANZ and it would be a good start.
we're sitting at 650k after 5 rounds. should be around 780k after 6 rounds
we were at 639k same time last year and 747k after 6 rounds.
although 703k 2013, and 2 big rounds in round 6 and 7 that year too meant we were sitting on a 18.5k avg for the year.
681k in 2012
715k in 2011
crowds are hard to predict sometimes, weathers been shite lately. might come good at the back end of the season and we could finish with a 16k+ average you never know. even this week we should get over 16k for the round
