some shockers today i'm afraid

bulls v crusaders 7853
cas v saints 6879
quins v rovers 2819
hull v wire 14131
salford v hudds 4014
wigan v wakey 14615

awaiting cats v leeds

im sure i heard eddie say over 9,000

didn't he say 8,900, could be wrong

8,230 catalan v leeds

My crystal ball tells me that Quins v St Helens will see a gate of 14,816

so next weeks average will be up. Shame that the evidence LIVE ON SKY will prove that the gate is nowhere near that.

over 30,000 for monday night footy in sydney,overall over 160,000 attended all round 4 fixtures...

yes, the stadium actually looking full for a change

come back to me when a SL game can get a 30,000 crowd during the season with another 250,000 people watching the game live on TV

Was a great round of attendances. Still a long way to go to get to the point where attendance is a major source of income for clubs though.

While a great attendence let's get it right.

Canterbury season pass holders got in free as did certain ticket holders for the easter show.

who gives a toss who paid.......that's a good crowd.

Given the Turds got 15,000 for one team in a city of 5,000,000, we will take it...

I know it was my point is to dally who said the sl couldn't get 30,000 for a fixture.

There's been a couple of sell outs at kc staduim, dw staduim and headingly (to name a few) while sl sides don't play at staduims like the anz or sfs if they did they could reach 30,000 if they had the same freebies.

hull fc have given out free tickets to junior RL players

sorry but the facts are the facts

thats a crowd SL would dream of. not to mention the TV ratings as well

and i was responding to the person that was mocking it

and souths arent our biggest crowd pullers.

the broncos get crowds of 50,000 2 or 3 times a season

and that includes 5000 - 7000 people who get in for free as members of the SFS!

it was reported yesterday that souths have something like 18,000 members so im not surprised they get a crowd like this

if their form holds up they should get a few more over 30,000, especially tigers or dragons.

exactlyyyy....

shocking lol

dally I'm aware of what goes on with free tickets and I applaud them, but if sl had the staduims and the free ticket oppertunities at the game last night for some of their big games we'd have seen a few 30,000 attendences.

Any way what I haven't noticed before is kids only pay $5 a great idea.

Given the crowd was 60-40 to the Doggies and most of them would have got in for free then yes it does make a heck of a difference. I'm sure if the KC was 40,000 and HKR fans got in for free then it would be full every derby. the other point is it doesn't help the clubs income (in the short term) as they are on set fee per appearance regardless of if 10,000 or 50,000 turn up.

It's a good crowd but lets not claim it to be something it isn't.

Every empty seat at an NRL or Superleague game is a lost opportunity.
Sorry, but how anyone can try to rip into a 30k gate for a Monday evening game is beyond me.

especially when it was also live on TV at the same time

personally I wasn't ripping into it I was very proud to be part of such a atmosphere. My point was, again, that super league could have had a few 30,000 attendences.

Do we reeeally care about the NRL in this thread?
