The normal big hitters of eels, Souths, Bulldogs have been poor on and off the field, then the rest are lucky to get 15k in a good year anyways, the sht timeslots have dragged this lot down to 12k range. Only roosters ah e got the numbers and that's on the back of out of town games. The usual below avg clubs, manly, sharks etc have also been hit with apathy and tv slots and down from a usual low base anyway. All in all pretty depressing for the games most important city.

- The bulldogs have averaged over 15k 14 of the last 15 years including 4 seasons over 20k. The only average 10k at belmore.
- Souths average 16k at anz including 22k in 2013. They averaged 9k at Redfern.

ANZ, as much as of a sh*thole as it is, have increased every teams crowds.
The main problem is the scheduling. Crowds have dropped this year in Sydney because of the terrible schedule and the poor form of 3 of sydneys 5 biggest teams. These are fixable problems. The new stadiums will help but until we fix the schedule the average won't improve as much as it could.
