smallest VFL prelim crowd ever in sydney

[Swans4ever]

Pretty average all round, I have no idea why the sports in this country at this time of year don't work out some agreement if they happen to have codes from the same place playing in these big games on the same weekend. I'm no swans fan at all and the roosters are not my cup of tea either but everyone knows that that part of Sydney is weird, the supporters float around between Easts, swans and tahs. Putting games on at the same time from one side of Sydney to the other and making fans pick and choose is ridiculous in every way you could think from maximizing TV ratings to merchandise sales because more people can go to more games and spend their money while adding a better atmosphere all round because of bigger attendances.

That tweet is a perfect example, look what the Eastern Suburbs types are like, spend money to go to one sporting event and spend the game watching something else. I don't think you'd ever see this in any other part of the country.

Roosters Swans Waratah fans (that picture is funny on sooo many levels AFL fans) :>::

For once I agree Para - but 18k at Alliance for last years premiers and 48k at ANZ both crowds IMO are less than what should be - Yet 136 watched AFL on TV which is more than usual - (aside from Nth Melb not being high drawing) I still think that the terror raids may well have effected both matches - tonight's match might be a clearer indication

only nrl fans could gloat after their final was outdrawn by the AFL by 30k in their own heartland!

Why hasn't any fumblegame cracked 50K in SYD this yr?.
I mean come on.its the finals.& we are told how popular the pink cheats are.

48,029 for the swans

18,355 for the roosters

FAIL

Sydneysiders watching the NRL last night
509K
Sydneysiders watching the Swines last night in the biggest game of the year
135K

& actually you could take about 10K off the derps & misses & add them onto the NRL
have a look at this
a scene repeated all around ANZ last night

lots of attendees at ANZ last night realising they were at the wrong game very early.... one a classic , a dead set belter ... the other ... as boring as bat shit
:_<> :_<> :_<> :_<>

These are the free tickets the AFL gave out all week to boost attendance. People with free tickets realise how boring it is to watch a team worth 10m up against a team worth 9m..................................total mismatch and not a sporting spectacle.

probably because a crowd over 50k for a single team in Sydney is near impossible. When was the last time an NRl club had over 50k v an interstate side, excluding GF?

its even more astounding then that crapper

there has only been 1 VFL crowd in Sydney in the last 8 years at ANZ
that wouldn't have easily fitted into the SCG
the prelim final of 2012 Swines V Collingthorn of 57K

last nights was the 2nd biggest in that time
even with all the cheating & rigging this code is officially
going nowhere in Sydney

& wait til the Swines have their COLA removed ..... fumblers will then see Fickle Sydney style
& that aint pretty

but but but

they're the self anointed biggest CWOWD pullers in NSW ... aren't they ? >

:_<> :_<> :_<>
they're pullers alright

[Raiderdave]

plus

the fact the Swines have attracted crowds of 50, 60& 70K at ANZ ... albeit on the back of thousands of freebies
& even with those thousands of freebies still there today .... the fact they can't even get close anymore to those figures is proof definitive of the codes decline in popularity in the last 10 years

the staged manipulated success is still there
the fans are not

which they proved during the year and again last night

[ParraEelsNRL]

Dunno, but them roosters got 34k against Wigan (they are from Manchester in England) at the start of the year.

The roosters stink.

I have never ever seen any team that are the current champs playing winning football going all the way to the biggest games for two years straight and having their crowd average drop by a third or more.

That success is wasted on that moronic latte sipping bullshit club.
