lol, as opposed to Manly who have a small potential fanbase, and fanbase in general?

Suity

You keep bringing that up (as well as the fact we have no juniors despite your club having to buy our juniors) but if it were as bad as you make out, shouldn't Parra's crowd average be at least double ours? Seems either we have more fans than you will acknowledge or we get a better proportion of our fanbase at games. Which is it?

Ahhhmm, wooden spoon? 14th last year? Yes we have a large bandwagon fanbase. So does 4 or five other clubs. Manly doesn't have either.
Weren't you last years Premiers? Weren't we this years wooden spooners?
We still had a higher home average than you. :lol:

See above.

i dont mind manly, i feel sorry for them, they've had so much success that their fans just take it for granted, how many times did we hear this year about a huge game at a 'sold out ' brooky and it turns out to be 12-14000. Some teams can have all the success in the world but u cant buy a huge fan base

Interesting to consider the bandwagon effect and whether it is real.

Take the example of a Sydney club (with numbers plucked from the ether):
- They may have an average home crowd for regular season games of 15,000.

- Of these, say 2,000 is the average number of away supporters.

- Of the average 13,000 home supporters, not everyone will attend every game. Let's say that 6,000 attend every home game, while 7,000 attend 3 home games per year.

- So that is 34,000 supporters who attend at least 1 home game per year (6,000 + 7,000 x 12/3)

Now, let's say that team makes the finals. It is a pretty safe bet that a large chunk of those 34,000 supporters will want to attend the finals games.

And having 2 Sydney clubs with 34,000 wanting to attend a final would give 68,000. Add on a few thousand more neutrals and 75,000 should be a realistic figure for a preliminary final.

So my question is: How few games a year does it take for someone to be considered a bandwagon supporter?

Well if that's the case:
- Souths used to have a big one, but due to years of subpar performance, it shriveled away. With a few injections, it is rearing its head again.
- Canberra's would be bigger if it wasn't so cold.
- Manly only like to get theirs out at home.
- Canterbury have the biggest one in Sydney, but many people find it intimidating.

I'm sure others could add some for the other teams...

-Brisbanes appears big because there's nothing to compare it too.
-Cowboys and Titans can't keep it up long enough to measure.

If we can get that, another 6K tomorrow we'll have 65K + Walk up and sales on saturday, we should get 70K, IF ANZ members aren't included we'll get over 75K+

Haha, so why aren't the Storm geting crowds as big as their popularity suggests?

Fact is Parra have a huge potential fanbase but the majority of it is just bandwagoners. When Parra are going rubbish few outside the core supporter group will even publicly acknowledge their support for the club but when they reach a GF, they pretend they were always there.

As opposed to your fans who won't acknowledge their club even after 8 consecutive years of finals, 2 premierships and a great chance at a 3rd.

Parras crowd this year in the 3rd consecutive year of crap that club has dished out: 16,803 (very similar number to the number you got FOR A FINAL)
Manlys crowd: 14,593

So Parra got well over 2000 people more to games than you did, this is in a spoon year and the year after almost getting the spoon compared to yet another year of top 4 contention for your mob.

So in other words, Parra at their lowest have more fans than Manly at their highest.

If I was you I wouldn't bitch about them having bandwagoners. I bet your club would like some bandwagoners.
