ive got one of those caps too.

gotta love souths.

kicked out of the nrl deemed to be not fit for the nrl

they get a glamorous owner, have 11,200 season ticket holders, crowds of 18,000

you just cant beat their history

they will reach 30,000 members within 5 - 10 years.

I'll never forget how they had over 100,000 people marching the streets of sydney,the passion in the rabbits around sydney is unbelievable.

and then averaged 12,000 for the next decade. Rusty saved them, good fortune for them that they had a fan who made it in Hollywood.

Better crowds that the reds ever had even though they were wooden spooners for 2 decades.

This is fantastic promotion for Souths and the game in general.

Apparently their are references to the Rabbitohs throughout his new film

Clint Eastwood is buying Wigan.

"los south sydney rabbitohs"



Souths are my Aussie team, so not meant against them!

when souths win their first premiership since 1971, i expect their crowds to top 30,000 easily

there are a couple of sydney clubs who have the history, fans and ground to get massive crowds

their push on memberships is going very well

they have one of the best packs in the nrl and isaac luke and sutton are going well

sandow is hot and cold but he is a very dangerous player

the rest of their backs are good too

If I am correct, the News Limited papers published the crowd as 10,000.





Of course, they had no agenda.

Reds:
1995 13,390

Souths
2003 9024
2004 11381
2005 12028
2006 10612


oops, how silly do you now feel?

Out of interest, do you have the crowds for the WA Reds for that 1995 season...?

I recall that great initial win over St George in the first round of 1995.

Close to 25,000 I think for that match?

Don't feel silly at all, what about the other seasons



Nice attemp at a sidestep though.

The rumour I heard involved Paul Eastwood.

The whole town? Is he setting his remake of [iHigh Plains Drifter[/i there?

Nah, True Crime. It was going to be another movie but he could only find the bad and the ugly...

Wigan already has a Dirty Harry anyway

Fair enough the article doesn't mention Rugby League, but the video on Marca.com shows some of the world's biggest football stars (and Arbeloa) adorned in Souths gear. Being on the website of Spain's biggest selling daily newspaper, surely a few enquiring minds will be interested in finding out more.

BTW RL in Spanish is [iRugby de Liga[/i

He'd have to paint the whole town cherry rather than red.

18,000 for Warrington vs Catalan last year in Barcelona, now that is promotion

I'd almost be tempted to take the magic weekend to that stadium with Catalans as headliners. Fantastic city, plenty of places to stay at reasonable prices and plenty of space to get the carnival atmosphere.
Oh yeh... its hot too

this week:
T: 11˚ rain
W: 16˚ rain
T: 17˚ rain
F: 16˚ cloud with sunny spells
S: 19˚ cloud with sunny spells
S: 19˚ rain


… could be worse

maybe a bad week but ive often (most years as a kid) been to spain this time of year and it been glorious. certainly better than Edinburgh anyway

Terrible weather this week here, but it's unusually crap as I've been told a million times this week. It's been snowing this morning further north and it (the bad weather in general) is predicted to last till Saturday.

First game of the second Catalan Championship last weekend with Lleida beating Valls-Reus easily.
