Oh the irony.

 

[Pommy]

Can we all stop saying that these two are one person as Rabbitohs20 says its bullying and we've hurt his feelings.

"You, yourself and alien" wtf???

i don't ignore every stat. all i said is you failed to mention that it was a thursday night game which DOES matter. monday and thursday night games are USUALLY not as good for attendances, although that thursday night attendance WAS good, so they DID show up. lets not talk about european soccer because i know they get bigger attendances than most nrl games. souths crowds aren't as crap as everyone else's because over the last 4 years they have been in the top 2 in sydney. maybe crap compared to european soccer but it's silly to compare to that. have a nice night

Me, myself and Irene was a Jim Carey movie about a guy with multiple personalities.

In all sincerity I didn't realise it was Thursday but think it's irrelevant given 6 months earlier a game involving your club set an all time attendance record which was also on a Thursday. Anyway let's agree to disagree. I actually agree that under normal circumstances Thursday's and Monday's are not the best for good crowds. My actual point was that there is no evidence to suggest souffs have more supported in Brisbane than any other club.

Truth telling. I don't actually doubt they are better supported than other Sydney sides in Brisbane but you can't just start making figures up and say its the truth.

I certainly wouldn't rank Souths as the most supported Sydney team in Brisbane. More like
1. Dragons (not just coz they're my team)
2. Canterbury (always seem to have at least the most vocal contingent but never seen any merch in SEQ)
=3. Souths
=3. Manly
4. Parra

Not based on any facts. Just what I've seen n been told.

 

[roostersrule2]

Dragons have a shit load of fans in SE QLD.

At most Broncos games it'll be 50/50 and I've seen them out number the Titans fans.

Not sure if it's entirely true but I spoke to an old bloke from Toowoomba once who said that the Dragons popularity in SEQ is due to increased interest in Sydney League radio broadcast coinciding with the 11 in a row. Could be complete garbage but makes sense to me.

Can't speak for all country NSW areas but in the parts I'm most familiar with (Young and Cowra) they're also by far the most popular there. Mind you, Souths are consistently popular in Koori communities and Newcastle #1 in all of the Hunter and most of New England (Canberra haven't really managed to claim the Southern Tablelands the same way the Knights have with their peripheral areas).

Beyond that, Parra is thr only other club with sustained and high levels of popularity outside of its heartland. .. maybe Manly at a stretch

 

[cleary89]

Cronulla isnt even popular in its heart land.

 

[t-ba]

Having lived in Brisbane I can say without a shadow of a doubt that the Dragons are the biggest NSW side, no one comes close.

 

[thorson1987]

Same with Melbourne.

Well most people just take their dads team as their own, so as St George would have a lot of new fans in the 50's and 60's and it's just passed on. Combine that with their merge and they would have got the majority of the Illawarra fans as well.

 

[alien]

so how do you determine who the biggest sydney clubs are? average crowd attendences is one way. the number of memberships would come into it too because it includes the supporters from outside sydney. souths, parra, dogs are the 3 biggest clubs in sydney now imo

 

[Cockosh]

I agree with those 3 clubs but you cannot leave Saints out of that discussion. It's difficult to know exactly who the biggest club is but average attendance and membership to a lesser extend are the best indicators. Saints are disadvantaged as they have split their home games over several stadia making it more difficult to attend all home games or to get value for money from memberships compared to the 3 clubs mentioned. Anecdotally there appear to be just as many annoying dragons fans as those from the other 3 clubs lol.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Purely guesswork and my observations but support for Sydney clubs nationwide I'd say

1. Saints
2. Souths
3. Dogs

Fairly large drop:
4. Tigers
5. Roosters
6. Eels
7. Manly

Drop again:
8. Panthers
9. Sharks


My family is all from the country. Out there by far the majority support the traditional sides, obviously a generational thing.

 

[roostersrule2]

Eels are up there with the top three.

 

[Pommy]

Currently sat in the SFS and the floor, walls and seats seem to be adequate. Half an hour until SFC v CCM kicks off and it already feels more vibrant than than an average NRL game at ANZ.

How's the merchandise stand?

How's the merchandise stand?

I will be honest and say I forgot to critique the merchandise stand and I'm too lazy to go and check now.
