41,546 for the a-league grand final

had josh reynolds and moses mbaye sitting in a box above me :p

[sydneyfc]

by the way wook - ive seen some people posting it was the highest rating a-league final ever and also the highest rated program on fox so far this year? can you verify this or are they just pulling my leg. seems incredible if true.

Seems to be a half decent crowd in the early game for the nrl. STI v CRO. Is that at a smaller stadium ? If so that may be the way to go for the nrl. There seems to be some sense of atmosphere tonight and creates a good look for the game on tv. A fuller stadium also makes for a good atmosphere when you're there. Nothing worse than say ANZ looking like 3 men and their dog are there ... same crowd maybe but seems so empty.

73k for sydney fc vs liverpool

[Fred]

Is that game part of the a league season ..... joke

[leeroy*NRL*]

funny how that can happen..

A English team playing in Australia

against Sydney and also Melbourne not so long ago..

and you see 5% of the crowd is the home team lol

[Briandi01]

For the season NRL free to air matches are down 14% on average with Sydney metro down 23% to a 273,000 - source footyindustry.com

.....why?

[NlolRL]

TICKET UPDATE: All tickets for tonight's match including standing room, are now exhausted. No tickets remaining for #DreamtimeAtTheG

Basically a sellout. The final figure will depend on how many MCC and AFL members turn out

[Fred]

If no tickets are left for sale.... it's sold out.

[NlolRL]

85k at the MCG to watch 2 teams out of the 8. Highest saturday night crowd in AFL history

[leeroy*NRL*]

Crazy figure for a Saturday game at the MCG..

AFL on track for a record season..

NRL as usual will hit the 16k avg...

where have the South's Fans gone...

That's what happens when you play a global sport where there are much bigger fish in the food chain. Liverpool could purchase the NRL and turn it into a burger franchise if they wanted to.

@AFL on a winner in battle for Western Sydney hearts & minds with extra 5% in attendance #AFLGiantsDons 13,671 v #NRLDragonsTigers 12,983

NRL just keep giving the lolz

Footyindustry‏ @footyindustryAU
Fri NRL - Sea Eagles v Knights - Crowd: 4,189 at Lottoland. Not a typo.

2 NSW teams get 4k. Bugger me that even makes the A league look good

[Fred]

Really? Again is this a concern for the nrl ? I think they have conceded that the culture of rl is that crowds are generally going to be low. As long as ratings are okay and streaming they may be happy ... or have to be happy.
