Canberra Raiders vs North QLD Cowboys Crowd

[Beaussie]

Hmm, tough one to predict how low this crowd could end up being on Sunday in Canberra. One thing is certain, it'll be embarrassing.

Oi Raiderdave, are you going to the game?

[Cracker]

The way they have been going lately, I would suggest breaking 10,000 to be a victory. I don't know what the Raiders are doing promotion wise, but whatever it is they need to change it.

well we can be certain of one thing cant we dickhead
it will very much larger then anything the Midgets will attract in your nations capital this year...
it will infact dwarf their actual attendances at Manuka

I'd say another 9,000 or so
same as last week
excellent considering their form prior to last week & the players unavailable for origin

the Raiders were quite good against the top 4 Panthers last week & at a pinch should have won the game =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>

[Cracker]

No, Raiderdave, I disagree that 9,000 would be excellent. The Raiders need 10,000 at least.

Do you really believe anyone really cares about what you think, Raiderdave? I mean really? I've seen you mocked more times than not and you are lucky that Beaussie has ordered the end of deletions for false claims. I know you were the biggest victim of that under Xman's tiller, and now I will be permitting as much original insulting of you from other members (not too personal, gentlemen) as they like.

& fail
as they do in most things

can ya handle it cwackpot ?
can ya keep it under control ol son ?

I seriously doubt it
ya just don't have it
& we all know it

[Cracker]

I can handle it, Raiderdave. The question, can you handle the free reign on original insults heading your way as a result of my statement?

I would suggest not.

Perhaps you should concentrate on supporting the Raiders and help promote the game against the Cowboys. Do something useful in other words.

Any crowd less than 11k is a failure, need to improve on last year's 10k average.

that average of 10k is porkie pies a lot like the dribble that failure dave types

ACT Sports Minister Andrew Barr claims crowd figures to Canberra's professional football codes have been inflated in previous years, leading to lower recorded numbers this year.
Officials from the Raiders and Brumbies are in agreement about the need for the proposed indoor stadium in Civic to go ahead to boost crowd numbers.
Attendances at the Brumbies and the Raiders at Canberra Stadium have come under the spotlight after the early part of the NRL and Super Rugby seasons.
Just 7129 fans watched the Brumbies beat the Auckland Blues 26-9 last Friday night in driving rain, the lowest crowd to a Canberra Stadium Super Rugby game since a tiny 4000 in 1999.
The Raiders attracted just 9636 fans against the Gold Coast Titans last month, however that was an increase of more than 1000 people on the corresponding fixture two years ago.
The Raiders are back at home this Saturday at 3pm against the Newcastle Knights, with the GWS Giants hosting the Western Bulldogs an hour and a half later at 4.40pm at Manuka Oval.
"I think they're actually more honest figures, I think the crowd figures have been inflated in previous years, often by 2000,'' Barr said.
"If you were to go back and look at what the actual numbers were before the inflation of numbers, it wouldn't reflect as much of a downward trend that people might think.
"Undoubtedly weather has been a major factor, as is who the local teams are playing against."
Raiders chief executive Don Furner said the discrepancy was more likely to be in the hundreds because of changes to how members and NRL junior pass holders were accounted for stemming from upgrades to the ticketing system at Canberra Stadium.
"In years gone by, the scanners didn't pick up the junior passes and the members are a sold seat, so there used to be a factor but no way [was it 2000],'' Furner said.
"The scanners now pick up everything, so we're more confident everything gets picked up.
"There's a lot less they allow us to put on top."
Barr admitted it wasn't ideal that the Raiders and Giants were playing on the same day, but said the government was using initiatives such as free public transport with a pre-purchased game ticket to entice patrons along.
The ACT government has raised the prospect of building an indoor stadium in Civic within the next decade, something Furner said was essential.
"We need a newer stadium undercover and with Wi-Fi capabilities so that the experience at the ground is better than the experience at home,'' Furner said.
"All sport faces a challenge for the entertainment dollar, that's why we would, along with the ACT government, push for an enclosed stadium.
''Out of all the cities in Australia, we have the toughest weather conditions to sell sport in.''
Interim Brumbies chief executive Doug Edwards hoped that still remained on the cards.
"It would have fixed everything,'' Edwards said.
"We would have had 12,000 or 15,000 if we had an indoor stadium.
"I know the minister's working on that, it's something he's quite passionate about an

the green snot machine raiders,last week struggled to attract 10k last weekend against the penrith poke group, apparently australia's club
so unless they do some real number fudging as they will struggling to bring many people to the game, due to the cowboys, being a lot less popular

[Cracker]

It's interesting though that the Minister is clearly stating an opinion and won't back it up with facts. I'm not saying he's wrong. I'm saying that his wording is very meticulous and defensive.

[TLPG]

If Canberra is thugby heartland, they should be getting above 15,000. I've said this before I think - Canberra is 50/50 between footy and thugby.

I would suggest not.

perhaps you should concentrate on not being a biased fumbling cockhead whilst moderating

RL first

not every RL fan down here follows the Raiders
