I've been at Brookvale with 27 000+, Kogarah with 22 000+, Belmore with 27 000+ and Redfern Oval with 21 000+.
All games were what they were in the days before OH+S.
They were great days! No one ever complained about over-crowding back then.

not much beat packed kogarah for dragons dogs games in the 90's

All the sharks negativity came from you. Sell out crowd. A win. In the top 4. Our existence annoys you. That’s the mighty quadrella you miserable bugger.
a sellout which is only 12.5k is a big negative for such a great and prestigious competition.

I’ve nothing against you or your club but your tiny ground is unacceptable in today’s modern NRL.

A bloke in England obsessively negatively posting about a football ground in Sydney? That’s a meltdown.

Most clubs in England would kill for 12.5k.

Fact is Sharks are playing there even without a Leagues Club to want business for, So the games there must be $ worth it. Or they move it.

That is all that matters clubs making money

super league is the equivalent of league 1 to NRL being the premier league.

and a bigger stadium would make the sharks even more money.

Not if it costs them more to hire, 15k in Allianz would look horrible.

A ground they own for example they keep the signage money, That is one area they are making money

then build shark park bigger.

surely they can afford it and would recoup the money in the long-term?

extra seats means more income as does hospitality and naming rights and sponsorship of said stand.

I know we've still got a game to go this round, but looking ahead:

Storm v Broncos:
Match is trending ahead of Panthers clash with significant sales in the upper bays, sidelines and behind the posts. Should be their third game above 20K this year unless sales just stop.

Knights v Dragons:
Strong sales in the lower Eastern & Western Grandstands, trending ahead of the Knights last two home games this far out, arguably their best timeslot yet this season.

Sea Eagles v Panthers:
As mentioned already in this thread, less than 1,000 tickets left for the game. Should be 17K+.

Cowboys v Titans:
Lower bowl down to single seats, strong sales in southern grandstand. Trending for 18K+, although Sunday's aren't one of the club's preferred timeslots.
