BTW, great jumper, Wests. The more memory we have of the mighty Magpies, the greater our code will be!

Would have been great to hear 'em belt out We are the boys from Wes-tern Suuuuuu-burbs again.

Mate - we're proudly displayed on the sleeve of the Wests Tigers. Continuing to produce as many quality juniors for the Tigers in the NRL as we can.

Best club song ever ;-)

Like a sleeve sponsor? What kind of money to they attract?

Yeah, it bloody was too!

Funny, it reminds me of the episode of Roy and HG's Club Buggery where they had Tommy singing a Dean Martin love song while demolishing a house with a sledgehammer!

15,227 at Gosford

15,227 at Gosford

Not a bad crowd at Gosford, still would have thought it could have drawn 1-2K more.

 

[Loudstrat]

Very good crowd at Gosford for 2 teams with inconsistent early season form - and crowd wise an away game for both.

Round 3 - 2112. Packed out - guaranteed. (After Round 1 - Bears 52 Broncos 6 at Suncorp, and Round 2, Bears 68 manly 0 at Brookie)

20,847 at Kogarah i think Hadley said.

 

[Kurt Angle]

disgraceful

two teams just up the road, and able to bring fans and the best they can manage is a couple hundred more than Melbournes home game where no away fans go

Obviously the CC doesn't want an NRL enough

Shame Gosford shame

 

[Brutus]

Average crowd at Gosford.

I don't think Brookvale will still be standing in 103 years time....

Sydney crowds:

Sydney v Sydney clubs:
FRIDAY NIGHT
Souths v Parra 20 871
Wests v Easts 14 426
SATURDAY NIGHT
Canterbury v Manly - 19 791
Sharks v Penrith 10 617
Penrith v Canterbury 16 846
SUNDAY
Easts v Souths 24 486
Saints v Sharks 21 000

Average: 18291
Average Fri Night 17648
Average Sat Night 15751
Average Sunday: 22743

Only after 3 rounds, but so far, Sunday arvo is the clear favorite.

Interesting to see the evidence as the season develops for or against a return to Sunday footy.

 

[yakstorm]

In fairness though, so far Sunday afternoon has had two big Sydney derbies, ones you would expect large crowds to attend.

As for Saturday night, 2 of the 3 were rain affected, whilst i'd be almost prepared to say Friday Night Football has lost a lot of its appeal, based upon the crowds its drawn so far.

I do agree there should be a least one more day game a round, 2 out of 8 is too few.

Would you want to watch Souths, and I mean this in the best possible way. They hardly played great footy in Round 2..

5 out of 8 should be afternoon games.

2 afternoon games on Sunday

2 afternoon games on Saturday and a Twilight game starting at 4pm on Saturday.

Then you can still have your Monday night footy, and your two on Friday to suit TV. Afternoon footy is much better.

Thought there was abput 17 K or more at Gosford, the GA area was packed as was the tv camera side of the field.

I would love to know how many tickets were sold at Gosford as they wouldve had a large chunk of the 8300 STH's not travel up the F3 and they wouldnt have been able to sell those tickets either.
Souths have never drew big crowds at Gosford, only when they play the local team Newcastle do they break 12K up there.
Hopefully the Gosford games will end in the near future.

Timmah is there anyway that you can have a post on the first page keeping the figures up to date as you have in the past??

No point, not a mod in this section so I can only update posts up to 30 days old. Every time I post the final stats for the Round (I.e. tomorrow night) I'll include all the previous rounds.
