Saturday 3pm is proving an attractive timeslot for NRL games! Suggest perhaps two daytime games on each weekend day at 2pm and 4pm. Sunny winters days are great for going to the footy!

It works sometimes, but not frequently. It was originally ditched because simply put, families have too much on during a Saturday afternoon - chiefly kids sport - to be able to attend.

Think it has its place. A few weeks ago Parramatta drew about 18000 at 3pm . And Newcastle crowds love 3pm and 5.30pm Saturday. Mind you Newcastle crowds are enjoying Friday 6pm too. So I suppose it's good for some and maybe not so good for others. Think the winter sunshine is a definite attraction for footy fans.

Sadly we have got to the point where a 10k crowd is seen as the norm for a lot of games. Aleague level.

They are the norm for games played in ridiculous time slots. Play games at reasonable times and you will get a few thousand more through the gates.

Still nowhere near A League levels.
Seems like you're only here to troll these days.

If the broadcast schedule was not so f**king rigid .

You could sneak in a few more day games in the middle of winter and brush a few Thursday games..

All slots have merit but only at certain times of year ...

Or maybe Manly are in good form, chasing a top 4 spot, against a decent opponent, and it's a nice, sunny Saturday afternoon. On any other Saturday afternoon, it could be pissing down, on the back of 4 straight losses, and they're playing the Titans.

People need to stop trying to make a science out of attendances.

Enjoy today for what it was. A good game played before a good crowd.

The game in NZ was played at 8pm. That's 6pm in eastern seaboard OZ time.

I'm aware of that. The point is though that there are two time slots every week that are going to draw shit crowds no matter what. They are complete write offs no matter who is playing.

There is no reason to point out how shit they are week after week.

One timeslot: Thursday night. The rest have had good crowds weather permitting and subject to how the team.is going. WARRIORS are not going well. 8pm any night would not work for them at the moment. That's the timeslot you were referring to from your comment?
