The smallest crowd ever. If they give a crowd any bigger then 4,000 then someone is telling a porky pie.

The smallest crowd in the past 5 years was 4,202 when the Sharks played the Warriors back in 2007

Crowd will be 5873

Hey, this aint boggerball you know.

It is a shame about the rain, not much undercover seating at Penrith.

They have free buses to the game from as far as the Central Coast tonight.

$20 for 4 Pies, 4 Hot Chips and 4 Drinks too.

Promotion has been good but the rain will put an end to any chance of a half decent crowd.

Hot Chips..what are they.

 

[Timmah]

We are comparing the average crowd to previous years when the double header didnt happen...

There's been a double header every year since 2008...

Me!!!

 

[beave]

and kudos to you Spitty, it's too easy for fans to sit at home and watch it on the box and take the soft option. It's sitting through shit like that, that when your teams wins a GF you look back and think of all the times like tonight and it makes it even sweeter.

 

[BDGS]

So the turnstiles at Dairy Farmers and Ausgrid work now or what?

I went. I get upset when I miss games especially at home. Every Monday night seems to rain. Potentially it was the 1st big crowd game for Penrith in 2011 (penrith's form improving, South 20k members). Newcastle, sharks, Canberra, Storm, Brisbane. Next game Cowboys again don't bring many supporters with them.

Since when do NRL fans travel to away games?

 

[MsStorm]

I bet its fine and sunny in Sydney on Tuesday.

Whoever went to the game deserves a half-priced membership next year.

5 worst crowds so far this year:

5,703 - Penrith vs South Sydney - CUA Stadium
6,148 - Manly vs Canberra - Brookvale Oval
7,340 - Cronulla vs North Queensland - Toyota Stadium
8,616 - Sydney vs Brisbane - Bluetongue Stadium
8,680 - Manly vs New Zealand - Brookvale Oval

The comp is running at two speeds big time. Top 10 teams crowd-wise are carrying the rest.

Manly, Penrith and Cronulla crowds are appalling. 10-12k averages for Sydney teams just ain't good enough.

Melbourne, North Queensland and Canberra are forgiveable at 12.5-13.5k averages, being expansion sides or smaller markets.

I'm pretty sure the Manly-Canberra game, and the Bluetongue game were also the result of appalling weather conditions. I can't remember the others.

What grounds have enough covered seating for a significant amount of the stadium capacity, say 50%+?

I was at the game last night, and there was still room in the grandstand for maybe a couple thousand more. The panthers cowboys game last year was in rain with 7k and actually there were still covered seats availible then too. I've been at an A-League game at bluetongue on a soaking wet day, and the covered areas were at full capacity + a few groups of die-hards and it was a crowd of just over 7k.
