awful crowd at canberra. First home game should have been 15k minimum.

 

[Billythekid]

Yet we are copmfortable with Melbourne also falling short of 15k for their opener?

^Give it a rest LD, it's starting to get tedious.

 

[Timmah]

I haven't got an official Canberra figure yet. Can't see one anywhere.

13,329 @ Gong

very average crowd, it seems the wollongong locals just dont support the side. Lets see the crowd at kogarah next week, should be a sellout. If the gong locals dont support the side, take games away from them.

 

[Timmah]

Can't wait for Kogarah Got my hill ticket, Mrs has a Kogarah membership. Fond memories of the hill, games against Cronulla, Parra and the 'Dogs a few years back, mostly in the rain.

Hope that's not an omen :lol:

Wait, good news :

Even I would be making every effort to get to Kogarah for that one, were it not for the fact that, for a rare time, the Knights will be playing a mere 40 minutes walk from my place at the same time.

 

[Timmah]

It takes you 40 minutes?

Oh yeah, stupid f**king breakwater :x

 

[dragondad]

Cant wait for next Sunday.

I remember that Eels game,8-1 in the pooring rain,what a night!I wish it stayed 2-1.

I remember the Dogs game,what an amazing rain,a game that kept changing and it felt like a semi final.

Cronulla on the hill in 2007 was a bad night,we got jipped when we had an early lead but Cronulla got back into the game from a blatant forward pass,and Stanley almost won it for us at the death.

Yeah. Stuffed out for and against!

Emailed the Raiders for a crowd figure. They came back and confirmed earlier reports of 13,100.

Crowds R2:

Rabbitohs v Eels @ ANZ 20,871
Broncos v Storm @ Suncorp 36,647
Dragons v Titans @ WIN W'gong 13,329
Panthers v Bulldogs @ CUA 16,846
Cowboys v Tigers @ DFS 19,879
Raiders v Roosters @ Canberra 13,100
Sea Eagles v Warriors @ Brookvale 16,307

7 games, 136,979 fans, 19,568 average.

Don't get me started. I'd love to kick the arse of whoever it was who had the bright idea to build a causeway over Brisbane water instead of saving the money and making the railway line curve around the land-line with an additional station at West Gosford! :x

Every one of those figures are disappointing though on different levels.

 

[Timmah]

Rabbitohs v Eels - disappointing on the grounds of the fact Rabbits had scored 52 points the week before. And Parra's first home game. Having said that, 20k is still a good crowd by any standards.
Broncos v Storm - should've filled the stadium.
Dragons v Titans - I don't know where another 5k could fit. The hill was FULL.
Panthers v Bulldogs - not disappointing IMO.
Cows v Tigers - not disappointing IMO. 8:30pm kickoff probably cost them a bit, but still a great crowd.
Canberra v Sydney Roosters - still a couple more thousand than their previous season averages. Thought maybe 14 or 15 would be the go though.
Manly v Warriors - great crowd given the negative press around the club, the previous weeks bad loss and out-of-town opposition. Not disappointing in my book.
