it was free to their " ticketed " members only .. more then 3 game membershipscooee wrote:Still much larger than your NAB Cup fixture last night that was free entry to all Gold Coast Suns members.Xman wrote: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?
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.
Dope! The preseason games are practice matches where teams play their reserve players. This happens to every preseason game every year!cooee wrote:Still much larger than your NAB Cup fixture last night that was free entry to all Gold Coast Suns members.Xman wrote:So how many for tonight's game?

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.Raiderdave wrote:Xman wrote:Are they counting seagulls and catering staff as well?Raiderdave wrote:announced as 29,189 wombat

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!!
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!Raiderdave wrote:Xman wrote:Pathetic comeback!

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!

How terribly tragic for the NRL!
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!!!Raiderdave wrote:again nationally ... last nights gameXman wrote:Got a link for the 1.2M viewers?

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
