Crowd Watch, Part III

[Glen]

Watch the grubs swarm back for the prelim final. Will be pretty embarrassing if the Swans double that crowd tomorrow night

 

[Glen]

Does the NRL take over when it comes to finals crowds? If so maybe Souffs have been topping their numbers up all year

 

[Usain Bolt]

Wheres BunniesMan? did he go to the game?

Bunniesman goes to less NRL games than me, and i live in Darwin

 

[Usain Bolt]

Bunniesman goes to less NRL games than me, and i live in Darwin

No doubt he'll be there on grand final day if they make it

Absolutely pathetic crowd no matter which way you look at it given it was the first week of finals. Even more atrocious given we drew only 365 less around a month ago at AAMI against Souffs for a regular season game.

 

[Card Shark]

All first week finals games should be played at true home ground venues.

Crowds just don't turn up.

Wouldn't have made a difference to tonight but it would've tomorro joining 2 games.

p....a....thetic

 

[Zadar]

Thats cos there was 38000 roosters at the game last week.

 

[Jamberoo]

Horrible crowd.
Tickets are so cheap - cannot understand.

 

[Jamberoo]

When it the Storm home final?
No doubt they will put it on Friday up against the AFL, thus halving the crowd.

 

[Big Sam]

People forget that everyone had to buy their tickets for this only a few days ago. We have under 20k season ticket holders in Sydney so it was never going to be spectacular.

 

[Moffo]

Souff fans are merkinz

 

[Big Sam]

I don't know why the NRL didn't put the tickets on sale once we were confirmed for the Top 2. That was 3 weeks ago.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

f**k. The Storm played Brisbane in a finals game in sydney in 1998 and got 20k.

Souths play the Storm in a finals game in sydney in 2013 and 21k is your crowd.

Progress.

Broncos v Knights Semi in 2006 at Allianz got 22k.

This Souths crowd............

 

[Moffo]

Souffs derp

 

[Son of Minto]

Souffs fans should of brought the pets that Souffs claim arent included in their membership numbers.

Would've been bigger if it was against another Sydney team. I think most people made the trek out last week rather than this week. I went with 3 extra people last week that didn't come this week. No neutrals would've come to this game either seeing as the prices as more expensive. While I would've like more I'm not disappointed. Do week 1 finals generally get larger than 25k anyway?

 

[Hutty1986]

Absolutely f*cking disgusting "crowd'' tonight. Should have been double that. Terrible.

Dogs v Manly - Friday night Week 1 at ANZ last year... that's right - MANLY, whose fans don't travel in numbers - got 36k.

21k is shameful no matter which way you cut it. 32k for the same fixture in Round 10... where'd all the fans go and why aren't they back? Did the MP loss last week turn them off?

That all said, I really hope we get more than that on Sunday...
