No, theyre the people that attend the games and watch them every week. Why would they lie? As I said, even your own fans dont believe the crowd figures, and history has shown they are right.

Another sellout game of AFL in Sydney this weekend. Unheard of in the NRL of course.

RL heartland

Would you move the game to ANZ if you could and bag a huge crowd?

If I had my way, the game would be moved to ANZ. Game this weekend has been sold out for weeks now. Ridiculous to think how much the Swans are missing out on financially because of the redevelopment going on at the SCG. Come finals time the AFL takes all the gate receipts.

Did the Swans sell out the game on Saturday?

I cannot imagine it wasnt. Looked absolutely full to the brim. Great game and amazing atmosphere. The ratings were fantastic too. Low hundreds for 7mate from syd bris and 343k foxtel which was shown in competition to another foxtel game and a FTA game.

Are they qualified bean counters? Do they know exactly how many seats there are in a stadium? Come on, X, stop making excuses and admit that the only club that has been proven to fudge crowd numbers is Souths!

Yes game like many others this season in Sydney was sold out well in advance.

The biggest crowd for home and away NRL for many years I hear. Yet it was only a few hundred more than the Swans v giants game despite free tickets, admission for members, free transport, and being played in RL heartland.

Oh NRL, you really are a pathetic little comp.

You can lie all you like princess, Parramatta have the biggest club crowd in NSW this year and the biggest club crowd in the NRL for this year.

Parramatta also has the highest ever NRL crowd for a club game in NSW outside of Double headers and semi finals.

This 45,000+ has just relegated the swans to second for biggest crowds this year, one club on top of the table, the other club at the bottom.

That crowd has stopped the swans having the biggest club crowd in NSW for the first time since 1996.

That is the biggest club RL crowd in Sydney since the match of the day at the SCG back in the 60's.

All eels fans tonight, no other teams got let in with a membership like the Bulldogs done for El Magic.

So continue your lies Markus, you look like a pathetic sook =D>

All confirming what a pathetic little comp the NRL really is.

Seriously, you're proud the NRL had a single game with higher attendance than an AFL expansion team playing the majority of games at a ground under construction?

Imagine if the storm could brag a higher attendance than all but one AFL game in Melbourne. I dare say the storms best crowd would struggle to beat most of the AFLs lowest crowds in Melbourne.

Oh NRL,

Was it a nice day in Sydney yesterday? Weather must have been nice.

Why would you say that when the eels play at a ground that sells out at 19,500 these days dopey?

your just pissed off that the eels crowd that beat all the vfl games in NSW, ACT, QLD, NT and Tas this year also managed to be higher than most of the swans, lions, suns, and Giants TV ratings as well
