in case you havent noticed , Sydney is 12 times bigger then Canberra & doesn't even get tests anymore due to being unable to fill even small venues there
the world cup has abandon Sydney for 1/4 finals & semis so pathetic are its sports fans
imagine if the Raiders were playing the Cowboys in a final today down here in weather like it was today
we get 25K without even trying with the assistance of about 50 cows fans

fair weather
thats a compliment to your lot & most Sydney NRL fans

Roosters and storm were fine if not outstanding. The sharks game was meh, but it's the sharks who have few fans and the nrl seem content to keep these little clubs in the comp, The big dissapointment was Penrith and manly. Seriously two Sydney clubs couldn't bring 10k fans each to a finals knock out game? That is sht house.

The Panthers fans barely filled 2 and a half bays.

Having it at allianz does lock around 15-20k out in the event it is against the eels but it would be a cracking 42k at SFS, the place would be rocking like saints/tigers 2005.

Saints v tigers would have gotten 70k tho if it was at anz.

Except 5 years ago crowds weren't as sht, go figure. Convincing fans it's not worth going to games during the season leading to apathy of attendance in the finals is the real problem. Though it seems to be restricted to Sydney apathy on the whole.

Crowds have barely changed in 5, 10, 15 years.

It wouldn't matter outfit were 20 times bigger
1) You really have stuff all opposition there apart from a ordinary Brumbie's side.No A League of fumbler side.
2)Because whether it be Sydney or Canberra,the crowds have been ordinary.Ditto Gold Coast.
3) then you guys better fill Bruce at the RLWC else your case will look even flimsier.
4)The Raiders would play at their home stadium.Neither the Cowboys/Eels/Panthers/Sharks/Eagles played at their home stadiums,so the Bruce comparison there is apples and paw paws.
5) the indication will be the eels playing at ANZ next weekend.

A total of 99k attended four finals games in Sydney over the weekend. The good news is that the three NRL finals (in total) got a greater attendance than the one AFL game.

what a poor set of crowds in Sydney that is. As some have said in previous posts, the game seemed to have no problem attracting big crowds to Moore park in the 90's for semi finals even against non-NSW teams. To have regressed this far in terms of crowds shows there is either a big disconnect with the fanbase or the game has genuinely lost a heap of fans

It's both, unfortunately.

Ironic that this whole mess was originally labelled the Right Game / Right Venue strategy. The right venue this week was either an Allianz double header or Brookvale / Shark Park.

And even with a very disappointing crowd, I thought the atmosphere today was fantastic. And I was on the quieter side of the stadium.

Not having Brisbane playing at home this weekend obviously a big factor in the not so good crowd figures.

This weeks total attendance was 75,361. The lowest total for the first week of the playoffs since 2008.

The Broncos at home next week and Parramatta playing at ANZ hopefully will boost numbers.

I am going to predict that the two games next week will get pretty close to, if not beat the total for four games this week.

It seems fans both hardcore or fair-weather have become bored of the idiots running the sinking ship of the NRL.
OFF WITH THEIR HEADS.

The NRL has screwed brisbane over again. Cheapest ticket to suncorp for an adult $40.

Cheapest to Eels v Cowboys at ANZ, $25...
