This is like getting an F at school, and when being confronted by your parents saying that it isn't good enough, replying "it's fine, look at my previous grades, I always get an F."

I would be surprised if it wasn't around the 30k mark which would be passable against an out of town team like the Cowboys

 

[Desert Qlder]

Seriously, why would anyone not want to watch two great teams in Sydney and North Queensland slug it out at a great venue?

Totally agree. Much better to sit at home and complain about the crowd instead. :crazy:

Will probably be 25k

 

[insert.pause]

Will probably be 25k

Will probably be 18k

:lol: Unfortunately there's probably too much truth to this post.

 

[Saint Doc]

It's the NRL, they no longer market finals as events, they only encourage fans of the teams to go.

Market the finals like you do origin and the crowds would be much better

Yeah this thread is so miserable. Just a constant whinge about lazy Sydneysiders. There hasn't been an original thought posted to this thread in a decade.

 

[Brutus]

Easts v Cowboys got 43k for a finals match in Sydney 10 years ago.

 

[Martin Bella's Luvhandles]

A grand final qualifier

 

[CowboyFuriousFury]

Roosters fans didn't show up in the regular season coming off a premiership. You think finals time they finally show up. Awesome nq crowd.

I remember a lot of Cowboys fans travelled down, plus it was on a Sunday.

How many Cowboys fans would be travelling down for this one?

They should really promote this one, as a battle between the big name players Thurston Vs SBW and not as an event on TV.

A lot of neutral fans might go to this one, heck I might even go.

 

[Brutus]

I'm neutral and I would go.

Bottom line is, 43-45k have attended a Roosters v Cowboys game in the past in Sydney.

A decent crowd can be achieved. Let's see some mainstream promotion for a change.

And a month ago more people attended manly v souths at the stadium next door than attended the final on Friday.

Souths couldn't give out free tickets to the semi. They have plugged their event games quite well this year, and drawn huge crowds as a result.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

20 k in Victoria .. Pretty good

Purple everywhere

This. Big difference that makes.

Bring back Sunday arvo Wk 2/3 finals!

Not many travelled down 2 yrs ago against Manly on the Friday night (which is when they will also play the Roosters), so I don't think many will be travelling down again.

Bottom line: this game will get 15-20k, which is pathetic for a week 2 finals match

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Well crowd just went from 15k to 35k for manlys next game
