Cronulla want home semi to avoid AFL finals clash and crowd embarrassment

[azif]

lol crowd comparisons at Moore Park on Friday night are going to be hilarious.

NRL wanna start giving away tickets pronto.

Australia’s Game owning Sydney, with the NRL freaking out.

Just imagine a Sydney vs Brisbane AFL Grand Final the following week too. Australia’s Game

You're a bit manic today beatup. Sit down and have yaself a nice cup of tea and maybe pop a bex powder. Now deep breaths sit down and relax.

Hope that helps.

fumblers have been on edge all year tez, their sad little sport is falling further & further behind our nations most watched & innovative sport
the NRL
they're depressed & angry .... & its hilarious to watch

[Beaussie]

And the lols continue. Even NRL fans find this humiliating.

[Terry]

Here's a crowd embarrassment beatup. Do tell pal.

[azif]

weighing up

they were never weighing up .... News tld getting it wrong .. again
like saying they avoided the grants last week ... wrong
they looked after their players, the grants are about as scary as the Sydney FC's womens side

The NRL couldn't care less what a minor sport in Sydney like the fumbles & bumbles does on Friday night
as it is 365 days of the year in Sydney
the NRL will be the focus next Friday night

AFL is owning crowds again! The Bum sniffers are frightened and have to move another game so that it doesn't clash with the AFL!

owning crowds ?

12K for a final in the nations largest city & finals crowds down nearly 140K on last year ... yea they're owning it aren't they our clueless resident marsupial fuckwit

oh & the NRL aren't moving anything & never were

[WookieReturns]

finals crowds down...fuck me you are just trolling now arent you.

Take half your finals out of the MCG and play them at venues with half the fucking capacity and see what happens. LAst year there were 4 MCG finals in the first two weeks. this year there was 1.

Your lot out here boasting about a 50,741 record week 1 finals crowd when the AFL had a record elimination final crowd at the MCG in week 1 of over 97,000 is just fucking laughable.

227,000 in Week 1 for the AFL - with just one final played at the MCG, and you guys have your best finals week 1 since 2015 and manage a measly 127,000. From 4 fucking matches.

Oh and last night the AFL only hit 8 million for the season. You guys have clipped just over 4m.

When your crowds are at the same level as the AFLs were in 1994, then yes you are being owned.

but but but ......
keep trotting out excuses

they're down tosser .....waaayyyyyy down

[WookieReturns]

And yet, still 100,000 more than your crap shoot of crowds.

And given the reason they are down isnt form or non interest, but the venue and teams playing. You can shove the excuses line up your arse.

I can see the sharks point - nel people in Sydney don’t attend games in high numbers - they go to Accor and it looks empty with 15000 people or have it at shark park and they have a full house. Not only that- but they are in direct comparison to a full house or close to in the AFL - doesn’t look good. Now - the sharks could be just trying to get a home crowd advantage - there is no monetary gain per se - but to be even having this discussion doesn’t look good for the nrl. I’m sure the nrl game will kill it in the ratings though.

Its Allianz not Accor fwed & they'll be plenty more then 15K there , Should be around 20-25K
( twice the size of the GWS grants finals crowd )
The NRL does not want to lock fans out of a final & thats what they'd do if they played it at Shark Park with only a 12500 capacity , now anyone who wants to go to this final ... can .. at Allianz. As Fittler said yesterday .. people should be given an opportunity to attend if they want to.
Allianz is a world class venue & 20-25K there will be quite good , the acoustics are wonderful & its proper rectangle shape & deep rake make it one of the best stadiums in the country.

The NRL couldn't care less how many expat sthn drongos , their offspring & their Rugby yawnion pip pip i say old chap huzzaahhhh mates are next door , They'll have a lot more Sydney & NSW eyeballs on their game then the bumbling rubbish ... like they do every other day of the season

[azif]

smallest fan base in the NRL , thats still 3 times bigger then the GWS Grants
