Interesting.

 

[TheDalek079]

Sydney needs more teams.

 

[Perth Red]

Sydney needs more interest in RL

when did Perth ever get 59k to a regular season rugby league game?

 

[Timmah]

The gap is closing.

Even Brisbane's averages are falling.

There's also now an obvious "super three" in Sydney - the Bulldogs Rabbitohs and Roosters.

Games where it is sydney v sydney in sydney (excluding Wollongong and Gosford)

Depends on season if Tigers, Dragons and Eels have good years they would challenge these clubs crowds.

So your conclusion given that Sydney crowds are higher than the average of Melbourne, Newcastle, Auckland, Canberra, Townsville and the Gold Coast is that Sydney needs more interest in RL? I suspect it would be more correct to say areas outside Sydney need more interest in RL.

I'd like to see out of Sydney side home matches broken down into.

Matches vs Sydney Sides
Matches vs OOS sides

It'd make for some interesting reading. Might do it this weekend.

Lets compare figures for Sydney v out of town teams ie compare oranges with oranges

Heartland, population, proximity of stadiums, away fan boosts etc etc, Sydney should be massively higher but isn't and I suspect if you look at home crowds only, without the benefit of away support which one city teams don;t have, would be equal or less.

Never were there more fair weather fans. 2009 round 20 Rabbits v Roosters drew 11,000.

I acknowledge Manly fans can be pretty bad too, but where were the other 48,000 punters that night?

Manly averaged 13000 this year despite having unparalled success for almost a decade, 2 premierships and another top 4 season.

Brisbane have a good year and they are likely to get 40,000+ to big games. Have a bad year and oh look, their crowds are way down. All clubs have fair weather fans.

Of course when Manly have a good year they are lucky to get 13k to a Sydney semi final :lol:

The majority of Souffs fans hadn't caught on that they were back in the competition until last year

You mean on a freezing Monday night against the team coming dead last? Good one.

It's like that with every club in the comp though, especially ones in Sydney.

Wests Tigers averaged 18-19k in 2005, 2006, 2009-2011. Average of 11.5k this year.
Dragons 17k in 2009-2011, 12.5k this season.
Roosters 19.5k this year, 12.5k last year.
Souths 22k this year, 11k 2003-2006.

I think the main difference is we have more 'closet' supporters than most sides.

Bulldogs are probably the exception, haven't been below 15k since 2002 and got up to 23k last season.

Across the next 15 years I think the 'big 3' will be Bulldogs, Souths and whichever Sydney team is performing bestl.

Your opinions are irrelevant as you have a clear agenda to see Sydney teams eliminated so Perth can be admitted. You are completely incapable of offering something even slightly approximating a balanced, objective opinion.
