well done sydney crowds.

:lol: The stadium was mostly red... :lol:

That's bullsh*t.
There was a lot of dragons fans there probably 50/50 but it was hardly mostly red.

A bit off toppic, but:

Souffs and the Dogs have been having a little tiff over who gets the right to use the home team rooms at ANZ, apparently Souffs put a lot of money into developing the home rooms over the offseason, and as such have requested the right to use the rooms, but it is officially scheduled as a Buldogs home game.

IMO Souffs needs to piss off, it's called a home ground advantage for a reason.

Souths have their own dressing room at ANZ its decked out in Red and Green.
Its not the home or away rooms its Souths to use at any game at ANZ.

Bulldogs will use the home dressing room Souths will use their own dressing room.

No issue just RLW filling up the page with a half story.

Pretty sure you're using the away rooms.

Merritt said on the barefoot rl show we will use our rooms.

Wait and see on monday i suppose

I think a lot of BS gets flung around about Sydney crowds. Go do a bit of research and you'll discover that 20 years ago 10,000 to a game was regarded as a good crowd. The fact these days 10,000 is regarded as a bad crowd can only be a positive. And just like 20 years ago, the Broncos crowds dwindle all others. Happens when you have one team with a capital city to themselves.

The Bulldogs may own the rest of the stadium for the night, but we own the changeroom that we paid for and fitted out and we'll be using it.... get it.

lol... tell that to the tool man.

:lol: The stadium was mostly red... :lol:

what a load of a sh*t, there were easily more Parra supporters there then Dragons fans.

The roar when both sides came out was clearly obvious that there were far more Parramatta supporters?

Were you actually at the game?

I read well enough to know that whenever you're not winning a debate you pull out your "I was just stirring" get out of jail free card.:lol:

The game is professional now, costs much more to survive.

Not to mention our cashed up competition.

I get a better idea of crowds on tv anyway. You can still hear the cheers and you get a better view of ALL the crowd. There was red everywhere.

The whole 'Were you actually at the game?' is BS really.

We will see in the coming weeks i guess.

you get a better idea on tv do you? so you could see perfectly the crowd in the players tunnel side?

The reason why you could hear the Saints fans more was because they had alot of reasons to cheer, we made no breaks, no trys for a long peroid of time hence why were very quiet.

As i said, when the players made there way to the field it as clearly obvious that there were many more Parra supporters then Dragons fans 60/40, was my estimate, if we scored more trys you would've seen it for yourself.

Last night was one of the great away team crowds Ive been apart of.

it was a great away crowd and you dragon fans should be proud of yourselves.
Well done.

They don't show it the whole time but they do show it during the telecast.

The main reason i made that comment is because regularly people come in posting stuff like 'i was at the game i could of sworn there were more fans' or 'i was at the game no way was there 10,000 there' etc. Problem is it's really hard to tell at the ground. I know from my own experience at EAS.

Valid point. That could certainly skew things a bit.

60/40? I myself have only said 8,000 dragons fans which isn't much more than 40%. Hell there is even another parra supporter on here suggesting 50/50 which is more than what i would of said

That's bullsh*t.
There was a lot of dragons fans there probably 50/50 but it was hardly mostly red.

But lets say your right and it's 60/40. That means 11,400 parra fans. This is on a public holiday. It's still not that many.

19,000 is a FANTASTIC crowd no one can deny that. I loved seeing a pretty much packed house, and it's great to see so many dragons supporters so passionate that they will travel. With the dragons continuing to perform well i expect to see their fans causing plenty more big crowds both home and away.

I certainly won't be expecting anywhere near that for parra again this year except against teams like maybe the dogs.

I also think against out of town teams we will probably be seeing a few crowds around 10,000 and maybe dipping below that considering parra's form.

Edit:

it was a great away crowd and you dragon fans should be proud of yourselves.
Well done.

This can't be quoted enough.
