Using logic here for a second.
You have 12 home games a year. 16000 is your average 192000
Saints have 12 home games a year. 13500 is our average 162000
Take out Anzac Day 26000 = 11 games for 166000 = 15090 average
Add Anzac Day for Saints = 11 * 13500 + 26000 = 174500/12 =14542
Considering the Roosters were the defending Premiers and Saints ran 10th and were pretty much playing at grounds of less than 20000 capacity, Saints did a fair job attracting crowds.
You played big games on Friday nights such as Parramatta, Canterbury, Brisbane which help as well. That Anzac Day match really does help lift crowd figures and considering 65% of people there are Saints supporters, you're lucky it was your home game this year.
Not withstanding, I could argue about crowd figures all day with Roosters supporters and congratulations on attracting 42000 to your major semi final considering there was 52000 at the major semi in '99 between Saints and the Scum, that's a fair effort to even come close. Semi final crowds are a major problem in my opinion. Games used to sell out or come very close even in '95 and '96. It doesn't happen much anymore.
