That is why no merkin shows up to your games.

10,252 Raiders V Cowboys -2C ( got down to -9 just before dawn on the sunday )
10,977 Raiders v Dragons 4C
12,123 Sharks V Souths 10C

so no , we have merkins turn up in more then reasonable numbers under the circumstances
I just find it hilarious when the words .. Sydney & Cold....... appear in the same sentence lol

It was cold all day
Howling westerly .
Late kick off would've put off plenty of people with little kids.
Against a team with no hope
Plus live on ch 9.
12k+ was not too bad
I was expecting less.

I didn't say Canberra wasn't cold either .
IMO it's is a dead set freezing bleak shithole.

I feel warmer at Thredbo than fishwick.


Good on you for putting up with life there.

Who thinks Raiderdave should be banned from this forum? Let's take a poll.

I say yes ban him for attacking people on here and making up crowd figures to suit his stories.. No one listens Dave so just leave this forum before they kick you out.

You're mistaking this for a woodworking forum ol' mate . . . we can make up anything we like here, no prizes at stake

Epic excuses there for a top 4 team to draw 12k against 'the pride of the league' in 'heartland' is dissapointing. cronulla crowds should be great post premiership. Roosters all that success still thousands of empty seats if they cant draw crowds winning minor premierships and being top 4 when could they even draw might as well relocate to central coast and take a few games to adelaide.

Gone from raining excues to its cold. What next, it was slightly breezy?

Sharks got what I'd expect. Unless it's a sunny Sunday against a team that brings a few thousand then 12-14k is their norm. Lower your expectations for these little suburban clubs and you wont be so dissapointed.

Doesn't look like this round is going to save the season avg.

It'll be too cold in Canberra, Melbourne won't be able to hold the ball, no spectators will turn up and the Raiders will play as usual . . . just about covers everything doesn't it

You wish you could make excuses

12k probably looked pretty good on tv where you watch all your footy.

We weren't top 4 before the game.

Be nice to be the only team for about 3000 odd kms

Not as funny as I find it when Australia and cold appear in the same sentence.
And yes I have visited and been snowed on in the frozen tundra of Canberra.

No matter where you live in the world, sub 0 Celsius is f**king freezing.

Unless you're used to living in Antarctica or something.

At least our old people don't die in droves when the mercury gets above 25...
