Yep an 8 degree night game against a shit out of town team. That's really the ideal time to make generalisations.

How about you wait until we get an afternoon game against a half decent team. That is a better indication of how much our support has grown on the back of our wins.

ITT: People complaining about X team not pulling enough people on MNF and FNF regardless of the fact most teams draw less on these nights especially against teams outside of Sydney because they like to bash X team.

13,200 at Aami Park.

 

[BunniesMan]

Given the conditions that people knew about I don't understand why some had expectations of 18-20k.

 

[azza29]

I reckon we'll do a bit better than that, all category 1 tickets have been sold so should hit 20k at least. Most of AAMI Park is undercover so rain isn't a big worry.

Well clearly this was a bit optimistic. A lot of gaps in the members' areas, I guess having it live on FTA didn't help. At least we got a better crowd than Souths.

Bloody cold though. According to the BOM website apparent temperature (i.e. factoring in wind chill etc) was sitting at 3 degrees!

You can forge membership numbers with hand out memberships but you can't force interest.

Because Redfern oval isn't upto NRL standard. It has a capacity of about 5k.

That would have been plenty for tonight's game. Seriously if there were really 10k at the game, the corporate boxes must have been overflowing.

Oh look, an Easts dickhead yappin about crowds. How many years in a row have we averaged more than the Roosters?

 

[brad_19]

Was the wettest May day in Melbourne since 1995 & the coldest since 2000. Probably a fair indication why the crowd was down. I went tonight & it was insanely cold. One of the coldest nights at the footy I can recall. To think it was just two nights ago I was at Origin in a t-shirt!

Ummm didnt you predict 17k lol

Our crowd was shiate, no doubt, but that will be our low for the year.
Looking forward to having our first Sunday game soon.

Oh yeah, here are the Roosters home crowds this year:
12,746
10,343
13,021
10,008
12,728
Avg: 11,769

I think the best part of BunniesMan trying to defend this crowd is that he didn't even see fit to go and watch it.

Pretty much says all you need to know.

But he had to entertain two imaginary friends. He barely had time for 100 posts tonight he was so busy.

Yep because sitting on a couch watching the footy with mates makes it impossible to be on the net on your laptop at the same time...

Bit rude to your 'mates' though, or did they have laptops too?

I have the ability to carry a conversation and type on a forum at the same time.

In fact most humans can do 2 simple tasks like that at the same time.

In contrast to you who finds it hard to walk and chew gum at the same time.

 

[cleary89]

lol derpman doesn't go to a game and then sits on the forum all night.

 

[Jason Maher]

If I lived in Sydney, I'd go to every Dragons game unless I was working. You're pathetic BunniesMan. A premium membership but don't turn up to the games? LOL@BunniesTurd. LOL@5(c)uff$.
