20,000 vs Manly in pissing rain
23.000 vs Souths in pissing rain
25,000 vs Tigers
Best average for a Sydney team
One of the best away supporting teams

Piss off.

Right.

And this is what they should be getting every week. 14k is piss poor.

Souths would be up there if we would have played some teams at our home.

Bulldogs, Roosters, Tigers.

Probably the biggest three rivals, we've played them all away.

Should expect around 20,000 + average for those three.

 

[TheBourbonBeast]

We should stop accepting mediocre crowds. And stop justifying them with piss weak excuses. Dogs and saints are on top of the table. But no, the weathers the real issue.

I know most of us here on LU go to games, so its not us, but clubs and the NRL really need to get more bums on seats. Bums on seats in sydney.

Numbers are up substantially on the turn of the decade. These things take time...

 

[dogz08]

13,486 at the Cows game

I have no idea why there was a poor crowd up here last night. The weather was beautiful, we have been going alright over the last 2 months............beats me why it was so small.

 

[The General]

Right.

No arguments it was a poor crowd. But you stupidly said that the Dogs haven't had any decent crowds. I proved you wrong and now you're back pedalling.

Fair enough but the Dogs are in a similar boat. We haven't played the Eels and Roosters at home (althought it's doubtful we would get a massive crowd against them now considering their places on the table).

My biggest issue is we don't play the Dragons at home this year. How the NRL would be so stupid as to not ensure we played one of our biggest rivals twice this year is beyond me.

You're right, 14k is piss poor :lol:

Mediocre crowds? The NBL and NSL comparatively have "mediocre" crowds, we're still cheering. Our game draws 3million+ fans a season from memory, plus millions more viewers every weekend on the tube.

Negative statements about crowds and earbashing certain regions and clubs about their crowds isn't going to encourage them to go to games, yet you lot continue to spout the same negative sh*t. Give it a rest.

Numbers are up substantially on the turn of the decade. These things take time...

Amen brother!

 

[TheBourbonBeast]

Time for a few more sub 10k crowds......

 

[TheBourbonBeast]

23k WOW!

that leaves.. what... 57k empty seats? You gotta be so happy with that.

 

[t-ba]

Thoughts on the Cows crowd BB?

 

[TheBourbonBeast]

Cowboys dont interest me. Im only here to sh*t on nsw. Isnt it obvious?

 

[Red Bear]

yep
Inferiority complex is alive and well north of the border

I live here and it continues to confound me.

I mean, they're advertising the states 150th birthday as '150 years since we broke away from NSW' ffs...

It's also an infinite source of amusement that the 150th anniversary of law in Queensland is 2011. What happened for those two years?

 

[TheBourbonBeast]

fair bit smug superiority south of it to. Must have a lot to dwell on sitting in those empty stadiums.

 

[Chook Norris]

apparently 75,000 sold to SoO @ ANZ

 

[Timmah]

Interested in when the last time was QLD got 55,000 to Origin, let alone 77,000...

Bourbon Beast?

Oh, that's right... you can't.

Watch for this again next Wednesday:

 

[beave]

you should be more worried about this bloke than how many people turn up at that $hithole of a stadium ;-)........
