RLWC2017 Crowd Watch

At Alliance in Sydney now and there is plenty of people here I’m tipping a biggish crowd tonight.

40k in Sydney would be a great statement of its commitment to rugby league. Obviously this will not happen.

Yes. With plenty of English expats and the Bennet factor it would have been an attractive night out for international footy. Alas we got Melbourne and a 22000 attendance in a 31000 capacity stadium!

Hope so! The Kangaroos deserve it.

To be honest i thought there was more of a buzz last week with the lebanese supporters out the front at 5.30 with the drums and dancing.

Have some kangaroos marching band this week which was pretty funny.

Last week only a roosters membership tent. This week dogs, tigers and maybe souths have joined them. Plus deadly choices and a few other things.

Dont understand why the women tests were not a lead in game to a mens game at all cup venues? No doubt costs but the benefit to the womens game would have far outweighed logistic costs! Strange call from administrators. At least they have the womens final on mens cup final night in Brisbane.

There’s only 6 sides isn’t there?

Lebanon team walked in with the drummers. Was like a parade with fans. Good entry.

The drums have just started and it’s a buzz here. I could be wrong about crowd but the buzz from the band and dj’s are amazing

I also just spotted a group of French supporters wearing Catalans jerseys and flags.

Can write a book though. And I agree with the above.

His books are shit.

It was unbelievable to see the team walk in amongst the band.

Down to that entry on the right is a dj and bloke singing. Prob 1k people out watching it.

Def more people than last week.

 

[Burns]

I saw those French fans too!!!

Way more here than last week. Good vibe too

Wasn't a guess, I googled "population of Canberra" and it came up as 356k. So take your beef to google for not updating their statistics, jabroni.

yeah
try googling Canberras population for 2017
not 1997
K : )

PS I just googled it ( Canberra population 2017)... & got the correct population

 

[Clifferd]

Crowd looks 20-25k

Good weather! It shames the organisers decision to go to Melbourne for the England game as the opener. 20000 fans lost in attendance for this tournament.
Looks to be at least 20000 at SFS tonight.

 

[Stallion]

Looks like its that same ref that butchered a game with penalties last weekend. Hes already made a crucial call against Lebanon. Hes a real game killer! He should not get a gig in the finals! But with these organisers hes a big show.

 

[thorson1987]

Yeah good vibe coming in. Although got here on just as the teams came out which I blame on @adamkungl taking his time to finish his beer.

 

[Raiderdave]

might be 25K at Allianz

 

[Billythekid]

If this game out draws the Melbourne match then Sydney really has proven itself. 20K+ for this game is impressive and you would have to think they could draw 40K+ against NZ or Eng.

Have we got a crowd number for cairns?
