[8Ball]

Decent crowds so far this week.

 

[KHunt]

Kogarah crowd?

 

[dragondad]

14,477 at Kogarah

 

[Didgi]

14,225 @ Manly v Souffs

 

[Didgi]

What a sh*t round for crowds so far, forgetting Titans v Raiders.

14,000? wow. ANZ looked f**king empty on TV.

14,000? wow. ANZ looked f**king empty on TV.

i was there - it was 14k - very disappointing - i expected 18k+......there we around 4k manly fans max

 

[ByRd]

Thats 3.5k more then what turned up in rnd 1 against the dogs. Disappointed with the Dragons crowd, have a nice venue which holds around 20k and the team is on fire and can only manage 14k, not a good effort and we had Dragon fans telling us all week that it will go close to a sell out.

14,000? wow. ANZ looked f**king empty on TV.

Well even with 14k there are still about 70k empty seats

 

[TheDalek079]

do souffs still have those gay drummers to try and create atmosphere at a near-empty stadium??

 

[LeagueXIII]

Play these games on a Sunday afternoon and I think alot more would show up, weather permitting of course. As I keep saying, Sydney games should be played on Sunday afternoon as much as possible (this would involve 3 night games on Fri and Sat instead of current 5) and Sydney clubs should have plans to develop their grounds into decent 25,000 plus stadiums. They have started.

Seeing 15,000 at ANZ does the game no favours and just perpetuates a negative image.

Your book needs updating - 10000 people is just not enough...in my book..

We should be aiming for at least 20,000.

It's not a good look.

 

[adamkungl]

In the context of Sydney RL crowds on a Sat night, 14k isn't terrible... we've had a few this week, and there will be far worse. But in ANZ it looks horrible. Watching on TV i was expecting a sub 10,000 crowd announcement. At least 14k at CUA, SFS etc fills most of the Eastern and Western stands

 

[LeagueXIII]

That's right but we can do better. If we are going to play games to please broadcaster they should be made to pay TOP dollar. You reading this Gallop!!

Crowds in Auckland have really improved this year.

16k today against the Roosters.

 

[Didgi]

Great effort by the Kiwis. The Sydney crowds really need to pick up, they are being showed how to do it by those in the other cities.

A nail biting win should hopefully see that continue.

 

[Knightmare]

How to do it is reduce Sydney to a one-team town. But then how many people would walk away from the game in disgust? Comparing Townsville, Brisbane, Newcastle, Auckland etc. is unfair for a number of reasons.

 

[DINGb@T]

Anyone get an exact figure for the Warriors/Roosters game?
