In 2005, Newcastle got the wooden spoon. They still averaged 18,469 per game. A couple of years earlier in 2003, Penrith won the comp. The Panthers averaged attendance was 17771 in the regular season.

So Newcastle came last in 2005, but still got more through the gate compared to Penrith's premiership winning year in 2003.

Now it's no disrespect intended towards Penrith, but it does highlight Newcastle's resilient parochialism.

From 2006 to 2022 Penrith averaged less then 15k home fans per home game for the season.

2020 & 2021 were covid affected and i reckon they would have beaten it.

But even so 2006 to 2019 they averaged around 11k to 13k each year.

Newcastle is a city of 2000000 and average around 1% attendance.
Penrith is around 200000 and average around 10% attendance.

Newcastle supporters are no more passionate than any others, they just like to believe they are!

 

[DIOGENES]

Newcastle is not a city of 2 million; combined with Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens and the lower Hunter it’s closer to 500,000

Edit: 682,000 at last census

So they still average <5%.

Newcastle is a city of 2000000 and average around 1% attendance.
Penrith is around 200000 and average around 10% attendance.

Newcastle supporters are no more passionate than any others, they just like to believe they are!

If Newcastle had a population of 2,000,000, they might've had a stadium large enough to host Origins and Grand Finals.

Pretty sure Newcastle has a population of 2000000000000000.

We’ve just implemented the 1 child policy due to overpopulation.

Penrith's junior district (Blacktown, Hawkesbury, Penrith and Blue Mountains) is around 700k.

Recent Pictures of Hamilton show the cause of concern.

 

[Pjf04b]

This is getting ridiculous but the Hunter region is 786k.
It really means nothing.
It is only an urban myth that they are the best supporters in the NRL. Every club can lay claim to this in one form or another.
Keep on supporting your club whoever it is and all is well!

I think supporters are being dudded for the Broncos-Storm game this week. Storm are resting up to 10 players and Broncos about 5...Supporters should be refunded half of their ticket prices

 

[EuroNymous]

i would imagine a lot stadium members won't bother rocking up now with all news with both teams resting players

42-44k probably likely

40,247

I got mine yesterday and it was 19.7kish.

Somehow doubt it is 40k.

 

[yobbo84]

Absolutely no chance they get 40k on Friday. Tell 'em they're dreaming. They seriously underestimate the apathy the majority of Souths fans have towards Accor these days.

Stop whingeing and get your tickets, like I have a Manly fan
