So the other 16k that turned up to the Storm game at ANZ decided "flick this they lost,not coming back"(even though Souffs won there 2 games after that)

Woeful,kick Russell Crowe out of the comp and bring back Tobin Bronze

See regardless of how many of their 25k movers are ticketed, when the crowd is 10k less it just looks bizzare and shite.

Who ever is running Wests Tigers need to be sacked. I think they are really fracturing their supporter base playing all over the shop and Allianz should not be a home ground especially when playing the Sharks.

Bit disappointed with the Bunnies crowd. Should be 25,000 plus their regardless of opposition this year. Maybe it's just ANZ stadium. I know I've never liked going there apart for the GF

Maybe West Tigers fans are leaving the club because they got to travel to 4 different venues.
Running smootly and straight forward don't seem to come into the people minds who are running the NRL.

ANZ on Friday after work is a nightmare. Some of you guys are ripping into Souths for the sake of it. It has nothing to do with 10k staying at home. The Melbourne Storm game showed why kind of crowds Souths can pull. So far this year South have had an unfortunate draw that has seen 2 out of 3 games come straight after work at ANZ. You all need to take a chill pill and wait for the Sat night/Sun day games to come then offer a less biased opinion

ANZ is pretty easy after work. Just look at the crowd the Bulldogs got last week for the game against the Tigers. Dogs don't have 25K members like your mob. We got 18,652 for the game vs the Cowboys at ANZ last year.

Given how long your club has been success starved, you think everybody would jumping on the bandwagon as much as possible to support the club.

9858 for the Sharks/Tigers game
15972 for the Bunnies/Cowboys game
Extremely bad crowds imo.



Listening to dumb, dumber and dumber still commentary for the Tigers game I'd have gone if I lived in Sydney just so I didn't have to listen to the sht on the TV!

Might not have been huge amount but the sth's fans sounded great and as close to an English game atmosphere as I have heard here. In a decent stadium would have been awesome.

Really bad crowds tonight. Hopefully we aren't far from the point where 2 Sydney teams facing each other can get sub 10K, that's just abysmal. Why the game was played there is beyond me, the tigers need to stop going there.

The souths crowd was pretty damn average as well i think. With their membership base and form you would expect a decent bit more than that. No idea where the extra 16K came from for the storm game.

That 16k were storm supporters. ;)

Well whenever we scored or something went our way there was a huge roar in the crowd so we must have had a few (obviously not even close to that).

15,972 at ANZ. Looked much bigger than that. A little less than I was expecting but an excellent crowd when looked at in perspective.

What perspective would that be? Your top of the comp, allegedly have Sydney's biggest fanbase, nice evening. Sub 16k is hardly excellent.

Souths' crowd is pretty decent, only 12,213 for the corresponding fixture last year.

Tigers crowd is absolutely pathetic. They've lost a lot of the aura about them post-Sheens.

Sharks v tigers has been a sell out or close to it at suburban grounds the last couple of years. Absolute stupidity to play it at Moore Park.

How many ticketed members do Souths claim to have? Pretty sure I've seen them claim more ticketed members than there were in the crowd tonight
