Everything needs to fall into place for the nRL to get a decent crowd. Any little problem like showers for one minute can have disastrous affects on their crowd.

Public holiday. Biggest day of the year for cinemas apparently. Only day other than Xmas where almost everything is closed.

No, that's not a factor....

The tens of thousands that stayed away clearly thought it was just going to be a blowout. Afterall it was 1st v 18th. When these two teams are both top 8, 40k will be at least what they get.

Lets have a closer look at the swans games against bottom teams in the last few years:

2012 Syd v GWS 22k
2011 Syd v Bulldogs 19k
2011 Syd v Port Ad 20k
2010 Syd v WC 28k
2009 Syd v NthM 21k
2008 Syd v Port Ad 24k
2007 Syd v Rich 23k

So what about their big crowds?
2007 Coll v Syd 64k, Collingwood were 4th on the ladder
2007 Stk v Syd 64k Stk were 9th on the ladder
2008 Coll v Syd 59k Coll were 5th on the ladder

Hmm, and yesterday's game was an away game for the swans. Seems the crowd was perfectly reasonable for such a mismatch as 1st v last
