Supply and demand of platinum seats, yet they still arent even sold out. Shameful.
The Broncos actually averaged higher crowds back in the early-mid 90s when playing at the old ANZ. Guess the bandwagoning was strong
You can't claim to be the home of rugby league and then not go close to selling out your only team in your only stadium on a regular basis.
I call that failing
start a new effing thread about this crap.
Good week for crowds.
Bulldogs vs Dragons 20k
Rabbitohs vs Knights 18k
Titans vs Cowboys 17k
Broncos vs Warriors 35k
Learn some history. The short answer is "poker machines". Look it up.
See the last response. Pokies. Queensland clubs simply didn't have the wherewithal to compete with Sydney clubs on a financial basis.
Another "Bolt" from the Blue here: classic misuse of stats. Include ANZ's formerly higher capacity and Suncorp's formerly lower capacity in the average. Nice skew. And flawed.
Year 8 maths at best.
Didn't they do their dastardly business at Dutton Park?
Why not have a "green" thread for just crowd stats and nothing else and a crowd "discussion" thread?
True this. For whatever else is said in this thread about crowds, there are homo sapiens in Brisbane and homo sapiens in Sydney. Anna Bligh's north of the border speech might have been inspirational (or might not have been) but I for one don't think we are a separate species.
You bag off insularity and start your next sentence with "You lot...". Completely without any sense of irony. F*** me! :lol:
Sorry, SLR, but on this one matter I will have to disagree. I hate NSW in footy. But Victoria? Now there's a whole new level of insularity and debate there that goes well beyond the already stretched bounds of this thread!
Because nobody (from NSW) complains when people bag off Brisbane/Qld, but the minute anyone (ie. me) stands up for Brisbane/Qld the southerners go off their nut. Hence the state of this thread.
As I said dozens of pages ago, my main contention is that Brisbane's crowds are objectively good, and that the nutters on here who make stupid claims that a 35k is "disgusting" need their head read. As long as the Bolt-brigade do that, I will cut them down.
And as for Origin,... it sort of, you know, is Origin time. So STFU cockroach! ;-)
So the answer to my question is... to continue the pissing contest? f**k me dead mate, surely your whole aim in life isn't to prove to everyone on the internet that Brisbane is better than Sydney?

Dragons/Dogs won't get 20k methinks. Shame, as the crowds for this one are usually big.
Crowd in Gosford certainly isn't anything to write home about.
NRL, the good people of Gosford are sending a clear message to you. Stop messing around with them and stop disrespecting them.
