So is the one for GWS, yet it shows 50x the audience!

Funny, I got the vFL pics from LU and they show the whole ground, talk about a massive fudge

FFS get your termininology right. It's a shot towards the posts ot more correctly towards the corner post.
You sound like a moron when you get the basics wrong. It shows half of behind the goals and around the corner.

The implication is that the crowd at this game is fudged when there is no evidence that this was the case. Marrying an article of 4 years ago and the pic does nothing to substantiate that the crowd at this game was fudged.

One thing we know about beassie is he likes to get information from over a decade ago and pass it of as evidence to backup his stupid claims, ie the Superleague article in 97 about Parra and Penrith merging and connect it to a recent post of phil Gould taking out names for Greater western Panthers and use all this as basis for his opinion that Parra and Penrith are about to merger lol . Bad boy Beassie bad you sure you don't work for AFL HQ?

Yes as you can see he's now scooted from this thread also.

I used to call him 'the man who cried wolf' but perhaps I should change that name

Because perhaps the funniest part in all this is once beaussie is caught out on his dodgy tactics he turns from the big bad wolf who's all huffin and puffin tryin to blow RL's house down, to one of the three little pigs...nowhere to be seen in the thread

Beaussie :>:: comon you scared lil get your ass back in here!

At the giants game you could clearly see the crowd spread around the ground for 11k.
Those rl types must've have been jammed together in the middle
because you can literally count the indivuals in that photo.

Exactly. There we denser patches but the majority of the ground, which is larger than a typical RL stadium, had a reasonable proportion of fans in the stands. Add that together and that would add to 11k.

The NRL match in question was patch on the sides and had no one on the ends. The number looked grossly inflated. I saw the game live on foxtel so I'm not going off the pictures.

Ok not the best shot as it doesn't show enough of the centre of the crowd area but it does show how NRL crows prefer the centre of the grown rather than the ends so there is no merit in producing shots of the ends of a NRL ground as indication of crowd attendance at the Souths V Raiders match

A couple more pics

last pic

Thanks for proving my point Mark!

No it doesn't prove your point, what point? That the crowd numbers where fudged? What it does show is that NRL crowds cannot be guaged by shots showing the crowd behind the posts. What these pics show is that if you want to show the NRL crowd you get ones that show where the typical NRL crowd sit which is on either side of halfway. These pics don't show enough of the crowd but any moron could see that this is the area that NRL crowds prefer to sit.

Once again you have shown you are not worthy to have a debate with.

Never a more truer statement uttered Mark.. Xman and TPLG are not worth debating when they loose the debate they like to move the goal posts or they just change the game altogether..

What it show is exactly what I said, patchy numbers on the sides and no one on the ends.

Thanks.

Which means that AFL crowds prefer to watch their games from different angles than what nrl crowds do. Great observation i'm sure you would give Einstein a run for his money.

After seeing a few pics of the Giants first home game I am thinking there must have been quite a few of the crowd in the bars because no way did it look like 11000 in the crowd at that game.

There is a lot of empty orange chairs for a supposedly nearly half filled stadium at the GWS first home home at the new ground.

I would say pretty patchy all around

No it doesn't.
The preference for most games of football is the wings .
AR fans probably tolerate behind the goals better than most sports because of the goal action.
This is easily seen in seat pricing structures.
What we can see from the rl photos is virtually nobody behind the goals and the wings sparsely populated.
Normally I'd put that as sub 10k.
