Just over 64,000 in the ESL Grand Final
Poor crowd, but not surprising since such a small time club like Salford made it, who are lucky to average 2.5-3k.
Saw a tweet saying there must be “at least” 14,000 Salford fans at the game! The Grand Final is in their home city.
I think if Leeds/Wigan/Hull etc made it they would have gotten more like 74k like usual
Triple M was offering free tickets to any one who rang up asking for them today!Terrible crowd at BankWest, hope it improves tomorrow.
My gut feeling is Foxtel wanted the Friday night start ,like their 6pm NRL one.
Either that or the NRL admin, is so bleeding dumb ,not to realise Friday night start for events like this, people are not going to get there in numbers.
The good old days when we had teh world 7as over aSaturday and Sunday ,the crowds were far greater.Interesting to see the crowds tomorrow.You'd want 25K to make up for tonight's poor crowd.
Terrible crowd at BankWest, hope it improves tomorrow.
Oh dear .It is the wrong time of the year for this. People have been over League for at least a month. Nines should be a club, mid season thing when the NRL goes into hibernation for 4 weeks while state of origin is on. The NRL season should be 18-20 rounds. The NRL GF on the October long weekend should be the last game of RL played in the country.
10 rounds - then
4 week NRL hibernation with Origin and club nines; then
10 rounds; then
finals
So you want to kill off internation RL?The NRL GF on the October long weekend should be the last game of RL played in the country.
