There cannot be 5,000 at the showgrounds currently, will be a great laugh to see what they report it as
This ground was known as Rugby League Park before its name changed due to sponsorship, but this was the first NRL game that has ever been held there, and the first in Christchurch in 6 years. It was the home game of a Sydney club. Nonetheless the crowd still supported the Warriors, because they are called New Zealand no doubt.Crowd 18,000 in Christchurch
Will probably only be like 25k-30k for Storm v Cows kick off while slowly building. Obviously won't be full until Brisbane game
Ground configuration has changed since then champ, 18,000 is bt capacity these days, though it's nice to see you are so concerned to go that far back, good onya fella.
Half of Brisbane's crowd would not want to watch a match between teams 1 and 3, even though they've paid for it. Quite remarkable.
But why should you divide the gate? That's my whole point, the majority of the crowd will be there for both games, everybody will be there for at least a portion of both, ergo both games should be counted as crowds of (in theory) 52,500, not two of 26,250.
Besides if counted it will give a big boost to the yearly averages which we all as NRL fans should be happy with!

Surely this double header doesn't count towards each clubs average home attendance, farcical if it does.
Right now it looks like there is actually less people there for the second game.
Suppose people could be off eating or something still.
