Fight Club - Football Crowds

https://au.sports.yahoo.com/league/a/36 ... rl-crowds/

Broadcasters have been caught using old vision of NRL crowds in order to to make attendances look bigger as the crowd crisis worsens in Sydney.

The average Sydney NRL crowd this year has been just over 13,000, its lowest in years, with the Thursday night game largely to blame, averaging under 10,000 people.

Attendances for the Friday six pm time slot are only marginally better.

Two weeks ago the crowd crisis was at its worst during the traditional Rabbitohs v Dragons clash at the SCG, the turnout was embarrassing for the six pm clash.

Those who did attend said the stadium was completely void of any atmosphere.

Due to horrible crowds such as this one, broadcasters have been sprung using old video of crowds in order to make attendances look bigger.

With ratings king, clubs and the NRL seem to be happy to sacrifice crowds for TV ratings.

Some radical solutions are now being considered by clubs, including allowing members free access to away games.

Fans responded passionately to the NRL crowds report by Josh Massoud on social media.

The NRL season got off to the worst possible start with crowds in 2017, with its worst opening-round attendance averages since the Super League war.

Just 100,975 people walked through the gates in round one's eight matches, at an average of 12,622.

The figure is well down on the 14,644 average attendance across each of last year's opening-round matches, and the lowest since 1996, when only 30,198 watched the four games that weekend.

On that occasion, six matches were forfeited as the Super League war threatened to tear the game apart.

But the 81 000 that RL got would be the biggest crowd in Sydney this year?

Not a bad crowd here tonight. Stand has plenty in it. What amazes me is the amount of people at the bars and lining up fir drinks.

not even close to being relevant.

Why isn't it relevant? Anyone would think that you fumblers were jealous one of the biggest crowd. Most viewers. The 3 biggest football matches this year.... but but but.. Not Rugby League negative enough?

it was a single game played months ago! It's your biggest game of the year ever year. It's like us raving about our GF every time we have a poor crowd. Your season is a debacle. Even the giants outdrew two sydney teams easily today in the same conditions. How do you even process that as an NRL fan??

the game may have been a few months ago but it was a very memorable game.

How did GWS go in its match up with Peppa Pig this week?

As a Rugby League fan I process this quiet rationally( unlike a dim witted fumble ball fan) . The league match was viewed by about a quarter of a million viewers while GWS was viewed by about 16 thousand viewers and Peppa Pig was Viewed by 20 thousand viewers.

As a rl fan! It is known your a dim witted moron who spends to much time in the basement by him self , who thinks that his opinion is facts and anything that you don't want to believe is lies!

you think comparing ratings for our newest and smallest club to your biggest game, in a crowds thread, is rational?
