[smithie]

Should have played it at Bluetongue.

Blue Tongue Stadium cannot hold as many as Brookvale. (Brookvale is still a dump though)

 

[pcpp]

12,097 @ Parra

 

[Timmah]

20,414 is more than Bluetongue can hold, correct.

I believe it's the biggest crowd at Brookie in three or four years though.

 

[Red Bear]

Excellent crowd at Manly, not a terrible crowd at Parra either (considering their performances this year).

 

[Timmah]

Fun fact - last time Brookie cracked 20k was five years ago tonight - Round 25 2006 when Manly beat Canterbury 21-20.

 

[Brutus]

Who says Melbourne can't draw a crowd...or rake in a great TV rating??

 

[Timmah]

It was at Brookvale. And even if that's what you meant - it's against their ONLY true NRL rivals in NSW.

I assume by that you mean that the rest of the Sydney Clubs are so pissweak they have no reasonable claim against the Storm?

 

[Brutus]

Brilliant tv ratings for the storm last week in Sydney and they help draw the first 20k plus crowd at Brookie in 5 years.

It's great to see. I think the Dragons could also be considered a NSW rival of the Storm as well.

Brisbane and the Warriors have also built up a bit of a rivalry with them.

That's basically on the money.

Not quite, more that there's been no great theatre between Melbourne and any other Sydney-based side apart from maybe the Dragons since they came in. Their rivalry with Manly in recent years is obvious.

Brutus - what part of NSW rivals did I not make clear?

I'm not doubting Melbourne's crowd-pulling ability but that ability is obviously against certain teams and at certain times.

You're forgetting the Tigers, Timothy.


2005: 17,127 (Leichhardt)
2006: 17,803 (Leichhardt)
2007: 19,111(Gosford)
2008: 16,653 (Campbelltown)
2009: 12,646 (Leichhardt - Monday + rain affected)
2010: 20, 168 (Leichhardt)
2011: 20, 486 (Leichhardt)

Melbourne are one of our biggest rivals.

Morons and people who don't think before posting.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Brookie, fantastic!

Shithouse weather in Brisbane today... Hopefully this rain clears by tomorrow. Literally all that of 500 tickets have sold since midday yesterday..

Brutus - what part of NSW rivals did I not make clear?

And what part of the Dragons being one of their NSW rivals did I not make clear?

It's great to see. I think the Dragons could also be considered a NSW rival of the Storm as well.

You even admit they are "maybe" a rival of the Storm.

I went on to say that the Broncos and Warriors could also be considered rivals of the Storm in an obvious attempt to look outside their NSW rivalries.

 

[dogz08]

i'd say about 11k out here

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Looks crap. We will bag the f**k out of gws if they get a crowd like this at ANZ

 

[seanoff]

Looks crap. We will bag the f**k out of gws if they get a crowd like this at ANZ

Are they going to play at anz?

Thought the showgrounds was gws home

 

[Red Bear]

Looks pretty crap in Canberra as well. Tongue deserves a better crowd than that for his last home game.
