I'm sure they'd like that too but that's life.

Outside of Broncos, Knights & Cowboys can you name another team in the NRL who has more than 13K rusted on fans?i think they need to be getting more Storm fans there after 25 years ..20 at the top of the table ..,13k “ rusted ons” ain’t cutting it

Plenty of teams have decent bandwagons, but generally don't have a huge amount more who turn up when things aren't going great.
Storm have attracted crowds over 20K 5x times this year, including against Penrith, Souths & Newcastle who all have very small supporter numbers in Melbourne, so on top of the 13K rusted on, there is definitely a broader audience in Melbourne who will turn up to matches.
If my grandmother had wheels she would have been a bike. Year on year there is steady growth, shouldn’t that be celebrated?we are talking about a one team town of 5 million … not Newcastle or the cowboys … would the Warriors have more ?
when have things ever been “non bandwagon” for the Storm last 20:years ? One year … how would things be going if they missed the finals say three years in a row?
And I guess their grandkids are Titans, Broncos os Dolphins fansI'm not the diviner of Melbourne success.
My point was more about the fact that the Roosters fans skew young and haven't yet started moving around the country because of adult shit, like how the Dragons used to draw really well on the Gold Coast but now less so because all the old bastards who retired to Mermaid Waters have started dying off.
Total population doesn't equal Rugby League supporter base. There would be more RL supporters in the Hunter & surrounds than Melbourne.we are talking about a one team town of 5 million … not Newcastle or the cowboys … would the Warriors have more ?
Possibly why the Storm average above their the 'rusted on'. Club averaged over 20K last year across their 12 games, will do similar this year.when have things ever been “non bandwagon” for the Storm last 20:years ?

Warriors have averaged 14K over their entire life and have multiple seasons under 10K, so it's fair to say their 'base' is around 13K.

Last year they had the 6th largest crowd average, this year they're 5th so far.
Needs a permanent team.General Admission has just sold out at Gosford. Less than 2K tickets left.

im curious to see how the Storm rusted ons will cope with a few years out of the 8 …it’s inevitable to happen one day ..
