Can someone just say something derogatory about Ray Hadley in this thread so that the moderators actually start moderating this cess pool! Is it that hard to just follow & discuss crowds without trolling?

Ray Hadley is a fair and balanced gentleman as well as a terrific Rugby League commentator, a passion he shares with long time friend Andrew Voss.

16K
and about 700 were sharks fans
not too shabby .. : )
maybe the sharks fans there last night could take notes & take them back to their clubs management to help build the atmosphere at their ground seeing as no one seems to want to go it haha

Mmm Sharks got awarded best game day atmosphere and crowd interaction by the NRL for 2015 and I think you will find may have done it again in 2016!!! The Viking Clap is hardly original.

yeah 700 in just one bay! There was BWB everywhere it was obvious on TV, like every time Cronulla plays in Canberra because of the huge support they have in the capital. I personally know 3 families in Canberra (Canberra Natives too I may add) who go for Cronulla and not Canberra. And having lived in Canberra for three years I can speak from experience first hand as to how prominent the Sharks support is in Canberra. No support - you have no idea!!!

Counting your junior league players again this year to boost your member numbers?

Of course there is going to be a big contingent of Sharks fans at Canberra games - it is a happy hunting ground - we have won the last 5!

Your stadium is so good they want to replace it.

 

[carcharias]

Good crowd in Wollongong.

Was looking at Cronulla's draw and they play 5 home games in a row, how does that happen?

Family's can't afford to go to the footy every week, home games should be more spread out.

If the weather is good I predict 17,459 next week v the steelers.

Well we are in the process of building awesome buildings and carparks and a shop and revenue making machines never before seen in the NRL.
So
We won't play home games for a bit in the middle of the comp.

[Raiderdave]

Do you comprehend you can correct/point out an error or misjudgment by someone without insulting them there is a difference my green angry friend

not when you make it twice for the same game

 

[Raiderdave]

shame the storm are starting their home games on a thursday night as i think 20K + would have been achieved the following night
the Titans game should have been on the Thursday

Storm V Broncos 15K
Bulldogs V Warriors 15K
Titans V Eels 12K
Knights V Souths 18K
Penrith V Roosters 15K
Cowboys V Manly 15K
Raiders V Tigers 14K
Sharks V Dragons 18K

Let me just confirm this.

You are admitting Thursday night games have an impact on crowd numbers?

 

[Billythekid]

Storm v Broncos - 15K
Dogs v Warriors (Dunedin) - 16K
Titans v Eels - 11K
Knights v Rabbitohs - 15K
Panthers v Roosters - 16K
Cowboys v Manly - 19K
Raiders v Tigers - 15K
Sharks v Dragons - 18K (if they still let that many in?).

Shame about the storm game. The broncos are one of our 3 biggest drawing opponents and one of our few chances to draw 20K+ and it will be wasted on a Thursday night.

jesus pal put the kleenex away
I'd put the Sharks at probably 2nd last for support down here for sydney clubs ... ahead of Penrith
And you can bleat on all you want .. but I know a bit more then you about it having been coming to games here since 1990

We have a lot more members then you lot , don't care how ... we do !!
seems winning the comp hasn't done much for your memberships which is astonishing while we're bearing down on 18,000.

we're replacing our venue because of the extreme weather , not the venue dummy
Canberras a tough place to watch sport outdoors in 1c temps in winter .... when we have our new indoor venue it'll 10 times better then yours .... unlike the 5 times better our present venue is

of course
but not for the premiers in their first game at home after winning their maiden premiership

there is almost NO excuse for 11K in those circumstances
none

 

[TheFrog]

the Titans game should have been on the Thursday

If total crowds was the main aim of scheduling this would no doubt be so. But scheduling is all about TV ratings.

agreed.
when we take back scheduling next year I hope we keep the best games for the weekend & put duds on on the Thursday night & intice Ch 9 to swap the Thursday night for a Saturday night FTA game

Your opinion only. So reality it means nothing.

It seems to be a "feature" of this year's draw, teams having long (3+) stretches of home or away games. The roosters also have 5 home games in a row although 2 have been taken away form the SFS by the club. That's not to mention only 4 of our first 12 games are at home with a stretch of 5 away games from 7 within that.

 

[Timmah]

Do any teams actually have 5 in a row though? Pretty sure any stretch of that amount either have away "home" games (e.g. Gosford, Adelaide etc) or have a bye in the middle.

It's shit scheduling, gotta agree though.

 

[myrrh ken]

I don't think you count the year that your parents nutted you out in the Bruce carpark.

Even if they do that, they still will have a stretch of 3 or 4 away games later in the season
These sort of things are not great at maintaining fan interest in attendance

Sharks have 5 in a row at home 2 then the bye then 3
But as I've mentioned it is because of the development being built at shark park.
