[danmiles73]

14,645 is the official number in Taupo according to the SMH.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Cronulla s biggest home crowd For a while

Looks 23 24 at newwie

Really? Taking the new grandstand into consideration i think it looks 27-28K.
Hard to judge though being the first game in the new look stadium.

Great crowd in NZ too.

 

[cleary89]

If its 30 capacity has to be 27-28

 

[PaulyTom]

I think Cronulla should take every home game to NZ. They could play in a different NZ city every home game.

 

[elbusto]

21000 at Newcastle

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Yeah it doesn't look like a 28k crowd

Capacity must not be 30k

 

[beave]

Not today, the top level of the western was only 2/3rds completed and only half full. There were a lot of empty seats on the eastern side as well. 21k looked about right to me but admittedly, I'm watching it on TV so people who were there may say differently.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

As expected the sfs crowd is sh*te. Whoever suggested 25k was on drugs

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Getting better say 17400

 

[macavity]

Judging on how it looked and how long it took to get out, far more than 21k in Newie. I reckOn about 26-27k.

 

[beave]

SFS I reckon 19-20k, the western stand has a few people in it.

 

[Timmah]

14,465 at ODP, Taupo
20,986 at Ausgrid
20,479 at SFS

 

[ByRd]

Decent crowds today, I thought Newcastle looked more then 21k though

 

[TheDalek079]

20k for Easts.....Well done to the chookies!!

 

[cleary89]

Thats piss poor from the knights.

Eastern top looked full, hardly anything left at either end. I thought the eastern bottom was full, but on tv looked thin on the ends. Western bottom was probably the same, but the norwest end had no one. If its 30k capacity, I reckon had to be 25k.

 

[Billythekid]

There is no way that there was only 21K there. Where the hell would you fit 10K more people? For that matter even once the new stand is finished where are you going to fit another 15K people?

There is no way the ground was only 2/3 full today.

 

[Yosemite Sam]

If it was operating at 30K today then surely Newcastle had to me more than 21K....
Regardless, are the ticket prices being dropped for the next home game?

If so then hopefully they can average more than 20K this year.

 

[cleary89]

Btw, whats with $13 for tickets, 4.50 to get an email with your ticket, and another 1 so you can pay for it.

LOL @ those who seriously think they actually understate crowd numbers to the point of anything of anything between 4k-6k! What possible logical reason would they have to strip thousands off the attendance numbers when in no way it makes it look worse and in no way better?

It makes a hell of a lot more sense to add numbers to the actual total (as union clearly do) than what it does to take numbers off, especially given the great lengths all clubs and the league have gone to to lift our crowd averages.

That said i didn't think it was that bad a crowd and IMO better than the Choks v Tigers that was played at the SFS.
