Not when they both last had good seasons, Parra whooped the collinwobbles with less FTA games easily.

When the Eels are on FTA they are shown to 7Million heartland. When the Pies are on FTA they are only usually shown to Melbourne or maybe one more city unless on FN.

The fact that the Eels compete on FTA TV but have an average crowd size of almost 1/3rd of Collingwoods shows what flogs RL fans really are.

TV over attendance

Didn't know Parramatta had a 7 million heartland, I thought Parramatta had a population of a few thousand.

Thank's Xhuman, I learnt something knew again.

what about the massive majority who said the stadium is perfect? Are they deluded too? Or just you who appears to be the only one complaining?

They aren't the majority. The majority are shutting up out of disgust.

So the majority hate the stadium but wont say because they are too disgusted?

Are you listening to yourself?

If they hate it where are their complaints? I havent seen any! Where are the RU fan's complaints? Or the A league fans?

They are voting with their feet! Wouldn't you?

they are. Theyre not coming because they dont like RL.

Its the logical solution. The Storm have played in 3 different stadiums, made the finals 12 times and played in 6 GF's. Yet their crowds have remained the same.

The excuses are rubbish. Melbourne just doesn't seem interested in RL. And even if they are, minor issues like weather and scary security staff are enough to keep fans from being passionate enough to attend.

Look at the Lions. They nearly doubled their crowd averages when they were premiers. The fact that the Storm have failed to capitalise on an era when they have dominated the NRL over the last 8 years by making the GF 5 times is a huge issue.

Xman has hit the nail right on the head with this one. Please stfu now Striker and fuck off with these pathetic excuses that just further embarrass the fickle fans of your team/sport.
