So does that mean the crowd will be announced around 33 000?

 

[mattyg]

Dragons V Roosters 36k
Storm V Warriors 22k
Bulldogs V Manly 28k
Broncos V Titans 45k
Souths V Cowboys 14k
Canberra V Sharkies 12k
Parra V Tigers 17k
Knights V Penrith 21k

Looking like a good week of crowds and could be a few surprises in there after the week off.

Not many spare seats at SFS. Great crowd these 'event' games are the way to go.

The thing is with this ANZAC game, in the not too distant future it will probably have to be played at ANZ to accommodate 50-60k............... whilst that will be a good thing, we all know the dramas that stadium has in regards to a more intimate atmosphere and better sight lines that the SFS has. Will be a shame to have to move it but if it means more bums on seats, then they will have to seriously consider the venue choice.

Well done fans of both those sides, let's build on it for next year.

If the claimed capacity at the SFS is 45 500, there HAS to be over 40 000 there today. No way is there 5000 empty seats.

Suity

 

[Cumberland Throw]

There can't be than 2000 empty seats from what I can see

But I have a funny feeling it will be announced 39647

The weekend with no NRL games will hurt this round surely. No games on the weekend saw thousands of people start following other sports didn't it?

And please don't move the Anzac game to ANZ. That would ruin it.

That's a really good crowd.

Wouldn't be surprised if it is the largest of the round.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Sensational stuff!

Should be close to 65k after 2 games.

 

[S.S.T.I.D]

Outstanding crowd. Well done to both clubs.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Excellent stuff. Hopefully close to capacity at Melbourne to round out a great day.

 

[Azyboy]

Outstanding crowd. Should look to build on this. Great game to boot!

 

[BunniesMan]

Impressive crowd but it should have been at ANZ.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Impressive crowd but it should have been at ANZ.

You're a tool who was probably watching afl anyway.

 

[Brutus]

No way.

Been there, done that.

I'm a big advocate of getting the most bums on seats as possible ,

But moving this game to ANZ would be madness ,the fact that it's close to the CBD and therefore the main Anzac commemorations is what's most important.

 

[applesauce]

It was still 5k off capacity. People calling for ANZ need their heads checked.

Still a year or two off a complete sell-out if both clubs are winning prior to the match.

Why don't we have a game each year that will be fully sold out, the build up would be huge, the feeling of fans going 'exclusive' and the crowd number immune to both clubs lead up form.

ANZ would be a massive mistake and take away the build up, atmosphere and spectacle.

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

They could always put a second Sydney game on at ANZ before or after the Dragons v Roosters.

A Parra v Dogs game would be one that would def build up over time to get some massive crowds.
