Still hardly explains a 50k crowd compared to a 10k crowd though does it? If you’re not committed to supporting your club there will always be excuses. Once a year and knowing fixtures months in advance I’m sure more than 10k could accomodate it of there was a commitment. And what about the often mentioned love of suburban grounds as it’s convenient for fans to get to? Let’s be honest this game on a sat/sun gets 14k ish, the Thursday only knocked off 4kish in all likelihood. That’s the problem, I’d sharks were getting 25k to games then it drops to 17-18k on a Thursday in likelihood.
FFS of course it does.Showing exactly you have zero idea of what transpires with Sydney traffic.
1) A two team AFL obsessed city with a much smaller population (about 1/3 that of Sydney,)with no where near the population or transport.
2) Scoop.Of course a game on a Sunday afternoon involving a team from Canberra v a Sharks team ,in a stadium of 20,000 capacity is not going to draw 50,000 sheesh.Dopey the ground capacity is less than 20,000,so it can;t crack 25,000.
3) The only problem is have nothing better to do than whine ,about a local subject(Sydney's appalling traffic situation)you have zero idea about.
4) 6pm Friday night is not convenient, for local people who work in the city and outer suburbs to get to.If all the fans lived and worked locally, then you may have an argument,They simply don;t ,check the vehicles going into the city and elsewhere from the Shire on weekdays, and the packed trains.
There is zero chance of me getting to the stadium by 6 pm,working in the city.
