Another Cliffhanger for game on of the NRL

[King-Eliagh]

5k and it was free?

Thats shockingly woeful. Was a RL game on the same time by any chance?

[Raiderdave]

So how many for tonight's game? It was the big guns of the NRL. The mighty eels and the broncos. So 50k? 40? Well atleast 30 surely!? How many?

Still much larger than your NAB Cup fixture last night that was free entry to all Gold Coast Suns members.

They supposedly have 10,000 members but only got 5,381. Must be fudging their membership numbers.

Piss poor display. The A-league in Brisbane even got a bigger crowd.

it was free to their " ticketed " members only .. more then 3 game memberships

meaning half of their membership is non ticketed

oh dear

Thuns .......... GONEEEEEE

Dope! The preseason games are practice matches where teams play their reserve players. This happens to every preseason game every year!

Fancy trying to score points over a practice match!

I think the crowd was 31k or something like that. Yep the place was all bbut sold out on a night when the worst rain front in decades is hammering nsw and victoria. Pretty impressive, especially for RL crowd standards.

It was 28k. You hit the nail on the head: impressive by RL standards.

announced as 29,189 wombat

but constant reports saying it was actually ova 30K
so dunno whats going on there .....

raining too .... great turnout

& a gritty gripping spectacle it was too
great way to start the season

Haha, what a surprise! 29 but many saying it was over 30k. Are they counting seagulls and catering staff as well?

Fudge fudge!

[Xman]

So no NRL fan on here knows how many turned up to watch the Eels v Broncos blockbuster last night? Really?

Must have been at least 50k surely! No?

Maybe 40k? No?

Surely it was at least 30k! Oh no!

Not as low as 20k. What a disgrace!!!

Still lower!!!! You cannot be serious!

How many?!?! Come on! Tell us!!!!!!

Pathetic comeback! Even the Westcoast v Fremantle 2 weeks ago only have less than 20k, when they could sellout two times over for a season game.

You are stooping to new lows trying to compare the NRL proper season games to AFL practice matches. But if thats what it takes to make you feel better!

So, how many to the NRL blockbuster last night again? Surely you know the answer!! Out with it man!!

Got a link for the 1.2M viewers? Interesting since the Broncos played one of the most popular Sydney teams yet the match only got 600k! Tragic really! Then only 11k attended the game!!!!! This was a full season game with two popular teams!!!

In fact already in round 1 the NRL have registered a lower crowd than any AFL match played last year, excluding games played in Darwin, Cairns or ACT!!!
NRL = the laughing stock of Australian support!

Comparing a round 1 friday night game of RL in Sydney to an AFL practice match on the GC! Thats what you are forced to do by what was an absolutely disgraceful turnout by RL fans for a blockbuster!

How terribly tragic for the NRL!

again nationally ... last nights game
attracted more veiwers then 95%.. maybe 100% of VFL club games will this year ....

i mean
whats doing there ?

11K was a fair turnout in the conditions considering it was live on TV ...

wanna bet that 11K is still smaller then any VFL game outside the centres named above by seasons end ?
i think you won't have the jubblies to make such a claim

BS all BS! You have no link for that crap. The NRL got 600k from 7 million viewers yet you are telling me that the regional audience of 4.5Million rated another 600k!!!

Fudge fudge!!!

11k is a fair turnout is it??? Maybe for the NRL it is.

[cooee]

The real question should be, do the Suns really have 10,000 members??

Fudge Fudge Fudge
