how the hell can seats available be ANY excuse for 4 finals games averaging less than 25k when two games were in half empty stadiums?

because they jacked up prices in Townsville and still comfortably sold it out at 25k. If it was a 40k stadium then you'd probably see a few empty seats once they dropped prices back to normal.

So what? Two finals in Sydney were half empty. The Dockers final was sold out within hours of going on sale

Townsville needs a new stadium, they have been pretty loyal fans over the years from N Qld, seem to be slipping a little lately because of the shitty old ground.
I don't know why some clubs don't take stands and stuff from old grounds and erect them at their own grounds if they are just going to demolish them.
An old RL club in England called Featherstone Rovers (smallest town/village in England to have a pro team in any sport) couldn't get money to do up their ground (they own it) for all sorts of reasons from how small the town is to whatever excuse you can imagine. They just slowly went about their business over the years getting a stand from one old stadium to another old stadium from the other side of the country, it doesn't all match up in coulours and stuff and it still looks like an old outdated ramshackle, but it's theirs and it qualifies them to make the SL when and if they can get promotion via winning.
I have never understood why a place like Manly out here can't do the same thing.

That's a way to tell people who never wanted you, you'll never be big enough or good enough blah blah blah you haven't got a ground blah blah blah to go, just get out there and do it, if it don't look pretty, you can bet the fans and players will slap a coat of paint on it.

Do you think that maybe, just
maybe, the reason they're up on last year is that 2013 featured a double-header final and this year didn't?
In any case, the biggest crowd in week 1 of the nRL finals was still 10,000 smaller than the smallest crowd from week 1 of the AFL finals. Mull that over. I wonder if the same can be said of week 2? Our smallest crowd was 42k, you're in with a chance

well shit for brains
theres a perfect little storm brewing for the NRL after some of the shock results over the weekend
Souths & the Roosters look like they could/should now meet in the prelim final
meaning it will be the biggest prelim final crowd of either code in the vicinity of 80,000 fans ...& so potentially bigger then ANY derpball finals crowd outside the GF in 2014
If the Dogs beat the Eagles this weekend they'll play the Panthers at ANZ in the 2nd prelim final & they'll be another 50,000 plus crowd there too
if the cards fall into place
the NRL will have its biggest finals aggregate attendance in NSWRL/ARL/NRL history
& its biggest average finals attendance since 1972
so how bout ya mull over that &
I'd suggest you give the pulling a rest .. & put yr tiny pecker back in yr pants
cos the NRL's doin just fine for finals crowds this year
just fine
