Fight Club - Football Crowds

[adamj1300]

So Hows the feeling **** the NRL faithful Dave with the NRL recording the second lowest average attendance for the first 2 rounds in the last decade?

Must have been all the torrential rain...oh wait, its been perfectly fine.

Soccer is taking over in western Sydney.

don't worry about western Sydney, how about Sydney, NRL heart land.

He can... but he struggles at it.

Sure does. He types like he thinks, in short little bursts. Its almost impossible to read, unlike Raiderdave who's about as deep as a puddle.

Only 11,923 to the grand final rematch tonight in Melbourne.

I wonder how much the Sydney - Hawthorn rematch will get in comparison?

[Xman]

Not even 12k turned out to watch the NRL GF rematch....oh dear

[Stewie]

I just don't think they can survive once they become shit in a few years after News has pulled the plug on them. This is a team that makes the finals every year and the grand final every other year, yet the Melbourne public just don't give a stuff about them.

[Raiderdave]

Not even 12k turned out to watch the NRL GF rematch....oh dear

great crowd considering it was a Thursday night
weather not so flash
live on TV

if it were tonight
or Sat night
or Sunday it would have been closer to 18K

same as last Thursdays game
if it were on at a normal time it was have cracked the mid 30k's , & the week befores SBW game would have sold out at the SFS

but this is the price we are paying for Ch 9 paying more money for 3 games a week of NRL,
then Ch 7 did for 4 VFL games on FTA
a few crowds considerably smaller then normal
is it worth it ?

hmmm
is it worth seeing the VFL wearing silver around its neck insted of gold like we are when it comes to the media deals ?

you bet it fucking is

[Raiderdave]

once they become shit in a few years .

when they become shit eh ?

hmmmmm
15 years & waiting

please god
please stop letting the Storm be the best on field football team in Australia [-o<
