Re: A-League Sydney derby crowd the lowest in years
Yeah pretty bad. Looks like the booming NRL has sucked the life outta the other sports in 'ol Sydney town. But whats going on wif the gavver round beatup? I saw a crowd posted for the North v Brisbane game of 10,613. WTF?????? 6k less than the Aleague.

Not sure tbh, but remember all the hype back in the day with the massive crowds for the Sydney derbies at Olympic Stadium and the Sydney Football Stadium?leeroy*NRL* wrote: Sun Apr 12, 2026 1:19 pmwas the 2025/2026 season of the A league the first season since the Budget and Cap given to teams was halved..

Parramatta Stadium was reimagined with soccer styled standing terraces, and rebuilt based on the popularity and success of the a Wanderers back then. I never really hear about the A-League in Sydney these days, unless it’s the flares and silly fan behaviour.
