Anyway, back to crowds, I think today's heat might just stop a lot of the walk ups turning up. A lot of people would rather be either at the beach or indoors today.
I'd be happy with 16-17000 for today's match. Talk of 20 000 is just fantasy.

yeah
might be pleasantly surprised but id doubt it
I know theres heaps of Canberra based saints fans going down today ... including my son lol
the buzz around the dragons , just the way theyre playing etc
& the knights too
is through the roof

we might get a big crowd , like a real big crowd
but it might be just a solid 16K odd too

Big crowd at Wollongong. Still amazed their were rumours of a sellout yet their is clearly empty seating and room on the hill. It's at least over 18000 I suggest.

Yep looks the same as that Souths crowd I was talking about a few years ago. It’ll be 18-19k imo

Dragons going well is good for the NRL

New capacity hasn't really been tested since the new stand was built.
North wrap is as full as I've seen and is usually a good barometer.
Plus large areas of the hill are standing.
Could be 19ish

Crowd looks great on TV. With how they're going we could see some big crowds involving the dragons this year.

They have the best away support of any team in the NRL. It's amazing how much support they get even interstate.

The major reason being the historical significance of winning 11 straight premierships. Things like that engender generational support. Longevity is very important in maintaining and growing support for the code in general. The Dragons are a good example of this.

Warriors fans might have something to say about that, but yeah agree

out of Sydney ?
barely
we don't need 10 sides within the catchment when 9 is too many now dopey

I see you're peddling your crap again! Thought you had woken up to the flawed logic? But no you continue your divisive and negative stance. Poor form but you are consistent . Over 6million people in 3 regions should and deserves to have the hard won and generational support that has been earnt and won over these regions for many decades. Something you can't figure out. And when you do you conveniently forget and
continue on your pathetic divisive destructionist attitude toward this great competition. Shame again on you!

Fans are clearly not attending? This happens repeatedly when the "sold out" message is given these days.
Has it occurred to you that these are season ticket seats and there was not a lot of empty seats in the grandstand. I think the price is 55 which is a bit expensive but a good crowd nevertheless.
