The sun doesn't shine in Sydney at 8pm very often. Last Friday was no exception.
The totals for 2010 and 2011 after 15 rounds are just about equal. With the exception of Round 26 all of 2010's big rounds occurred in the first 10 - with reasonable weather and a good competition this will be another record year.
I might have added it up incorrectly but I make it:
2010 1,784,081 Ave 16,519
2011 1,777,627 Ave 16,460
A drop of .36%
Are you trolling?Souths fan don't travel to night games now? :lol:
The following is a list of games remaining through the season that should draw higher than average crowds. I.e... "blockbusters".
R16
Fri 7:30 Tigers/Bulldogs @ Campbelltown
Mon 7pm Dragons/Manly @ Wollongong
R17
Fri 7:30 Eels/Broncos @ Parramatta
R18
Fri 7:30 Eels/Tigers @ Parramatta
R19
Fri 7:30 Broncos/Titans @ Suncorp
Sat 7:30 Panthers/Eels @ Centrebet
Sun 3:00 Knights/Manly @ Ausgrid
Mon 7:00 Dragons/Sharks @ Kogarah
R20

R24
Knights/Broncos @ Ausgrid

R26

And really, many of those will depend on the form of teams as to whether they reach their true potential.
On a side note, R25 and 26 are disappointing. No significant rivalry clashes/blockbuster event games.
Less then 15k would very disappointing, saying that there looks like there is a decent looking front coming through Friday morning which may keep the walk ups down.What crowd figure can we expect in Perth on Fri night?
Are you trolling?
Havent we been over the difference between two sydney clubs on a beautiful sunday arvo vs an interstate team on a cold and miserable friday night?
Dragons/Sharks being a monday night wont help.
I didn't say there wasn't a difference, all I'm saying is it isn't a 6k difference. Bulldogs vs titans @ ANZ on a "miserable" Friday night would get better then what souths got. Souths fans complaining about bulldogs crowds is a bit rich after what your club figures. And I don't mind the rabbits as a club either.
If the weather gods decide to repeat round 2. 18k is laughable.If the dogs and tigers can get 25k and the sea eagles vs eels can get 13k both on Monday night. A realistic outcome for the sharks/dragons rivalry is anywhere between 18k and a sell out.
I havent been on this forum for long. But Souths fans on this forum will complain about about a blade of grass coming from the field and landing on their shoe.
Thats just the impression i get.
The fact you got less than the game i was at(tigers), was dissapointing, but compared to the 8k on friday, no contest.
If the weather gods decide to repeat round 2. 18k is laughable.
That game should have been a sunday arvo. Would have sold out weeks ago.
Thats great, take note Gallop!!!!
