2025 Crowd Watch

Nah they’ve earned it

Capacity wise it’s still ok

A Canberra prelim in Sydney whilst storm Brisbane or cowboys can play at home is an injustice

You have to wonder, even if:
- Raiders started selling games elsewhere.
- NRL blocked any prelims.
- The 3 rectangular codes agreed no internationals or rep games until a stadium is built.

Would that even be enough? Barr would probably just buy more AFL games.

Canberra gives us back water Aussies a great insight into what happens in the NFL and how they negotiate stadium upgrades with the local governments

Imagine 10 other big cities in Australia offering the raiders a brand new stadium to relocate

Barr and the ACT gov would build a new stadium very quickly if they knew other city's could take the raiders

As someone who's been participating in these thread long enough to drink legally in America (I used to run from the living room to the computer room and fire up the modem to post attendances back in the day lol), it kind of amazes me the standards people have now.

Shit's out of this world, and even a little bit of regression would not be awful as long as the trend over several years go up. Like, what happens if we get another year like 2022 in Sydney in regards to precipitation? As long as it doesn't collapse, good!

Very sage words

It wasn't that long ago we could post crowds of 6000 at the SFS on a. Stand alone Sunday

We can still do better though
