And Saints. Almost 27k for the same game last year. Hopefully it cracks 20k.

Be nice if Skilled reduced their exorbitant ticket prices...

CRO/NZW @ Toyota 14,082
NWC/PAR @ EAS 18,085

Aggregate so far: 88,702

A decent crowd tomorrow night at Skilled should push us over the 15,000 average for the round, decent stuff across the board.

Except Manly. Poor, poor, poor.

Yep, the struggling premiers coming off a bye vs the team that hasn't won in donkeys. Anything over 10k was solid.

Meanwhile, tonight... 24,106 @ Skilled. Plenty of red & white in there.

brilliant crowd for a Monday Night, congrats to the Saints fans turning up

biggest crowd for MNF this year?

Yep, just in front of the 'Dogs v Souths on Easter Monday.

No surprise the two biggest MNF crowds were public holidays.

There's no way in the f$%king world there was 24k at that stadium tonight. The apparent capacity is 27k for skilled stadium, and there were spare seats everywhere in that joint. Me thinks the management are inflating the figures, maybe to try and deter the AFL from the area??? I don't know, but IMO there was no way 24k there.

Looking at the tables week by week, the majority of Sydney club home games draw less than the average for the round, even when it is two Sydney clubs playing each other and therefore getting the bonus of away fans at the game.

When I was watching the game, I guessed the crowd to be around the 18-19,000, but its really hard to tell via the tv.
I can't see how ground management can fudge figures. Do the Titans own the ground?
I know in the past,various people have accused Storm of fudging their crowds, but O Park is run by the Olympic Park Trust Authority who employ their own staff at the ground who scan memberships and tickets and then at the end of the game, post the attendance nos. on the scoreboard.

24k ha, what a f**king joke. The main side where the players run out was empty. These hicks ae fudging the figures big time. And while Im talking about the Tits poor crowds, are there actually any of their supporters on this forum?

I agree, certainly didn't look like 24K.

23k of tickets were pre-sold for the game.

My guess for the crowd was 21-22k.

Maybe if the Tits reduced the prices they would've sold the bloody thing out.

Round 14 (Women in League round)

Sat: Panthers v Manly @ CUA Penrith 11,000


If it is Fine day on Saturday Penrith should get 15k. The team is going well at the moment and there is alot of promotion around the game due to the Pink jerseys,beards etc.

Just spoke to my daughter who went last night and she said the ground was 90% full, and there was more red and white than blue and yellow. Top effort drag fans.

Seems most people here were correct. Might've been an error in an earlier count, but The Courier-Mail today are reporting the crowd was 20,416.
