The atmosphere was insane when there were huge crowds, which there quite often were before 95. But as the SL war settled in, the crowds dropped so did the atmosphere and the spiral continued until we got back to a renovated Lang Park in 2003yeah 43k in '93
Guessing the new stadium and more availability made it a novelty at first till fans got sick of the poor facilities
Seems like they are getting back to that figure in a smaller but better stadium
Gee Melbourne have done well to build their fan base. This sort of game in the past would have done well to crack 15k
Good scheduling probably helping a bit too. This game was in the mid-arvo before an MCG game later tonight. Plenty of club colours for that game seen at AAMIGee Melbourne have done well to build their fan base. This sort of game in the past would have done well to crack 15k

Scheduling no doubt is helpful, but there’s no doubt that our supporter base has ballooned.Good scheduling probably helping a bit too. This game was in the mid-arvo before an MCG game later tonight. Plenty of club colours for that game seen at AAMI
Prior to today the Storm's largest crowd against the Knights at AAMI Park had been 16,313 in 2019 and the average had been around 12K.Scheduling no doubt is helpful, but there’s no doubt that our supporter base has ballooned.
I used to dream of regular 20k crowds
Why the low turn out.Poor looking crowd at the gong.
Pleasantly surprised by the Gold Coast crowds still holding up despite the titans being absolute gash.

must have been a combination of the time and opposition.Why the low turn out.
Friday isn't a great night for Wollongong full stop, add in an opponent who isn't going great and a ridiculous amount of rain in the lead up (and prediction of more during the game) all would have contributed.Why the low turn out.
100%. Hopefully it keeps growing now the Rebels are out of sight.Scheduling no doubt is helpful, but there’s no doubt that our supporter base has ballooned.

Do you watch their games? Their last four outings leading into the Souths game have seen wins against the Broncos & Cowboys and narrow losses to the Storm and Newcastle.Pleasantly surprised by the Gold Coast crowds still holding up despite the titans being absolute gash.
their fans deserve better.
Massive and level 6 just opened up.Just bought tickets to todays game pax at 46500
I’ve always said these 2 teams are the league’s biggest Sydney clubs. Just imagine they had same success as Roosters and Bunnies
