Hang on - are you listing just Suncorp games? Is their overall average still placing them second for crowds? I think you would need to do both suncorp and Kayo stadiums to be fair.
i did 10 games at Suncorp which has included PRE LIM CROWD as i did With GABBA for Lions SEMI, (WOOKIE has not put that into his figures)

i was not doing just Home and Away

as the games they played at Kayo which was 2 and Darwin 1 were sold out but limited to 10k each
which will bring down the average quite alot and not show the true picture.


FRED like you used to do with SUNS crowd averages you would include the games played on the gold coast and not the games at DARWIN>>

when doing 10 games v 13 games vs the LIONS>

DOLPHINS have a bigger average when played at a BIG STADIUM to maximise crowd
I did take Darwin game out. But think you still have to include kayo. Even just Gabba for home and away lions get higher average. Didn’t check finals but will take you at your word
well yeah like i said for Home and Away (Lions win)

I added the Finals as it was one a piece and Dolphins got 52k (so i added it into the Average of the H&A figure

the lions are are playing in a stadium with a far lower capacity restricting the average, the dolphins are not except for kayo
again GABBA has 37k capacity..

there H&A average was 31k and they got 36k in the SEMI.

there average would of increased only for one game (which would of been the final)

Good point - maybe you could go on percentage of ground filled?
well dolphins would have 5 games with 100% capacity :lol:

true!
those records are kept seperate to the suncorp ground records

unlike those magic round crowd numbers where every game is listed to have a near sell out despite being basically the same crowd :lol:
