Actually it wont, because the NRL counts ground staff and players in its totals. Always has.
So kindly go and get fucked.

And we're talking about governing bodies anyway .... not clubs
the NRL's Grand final crowds in
2006
79,647
2017
79,772
now
in a night game , hell even in a day game .. crowds that close to capacity could be announced as over 80,000 or even sellouts & no one would ever know they weren't
but
they weren't , so they weren't
the NRL as an organisation is above board & honest in all its dealings with everyone about everything.
When the word integrity was mentioned to a fumbles & bumbles official his reaction was

47,998 it was actually announced as ..
so they're saying all bar 2 people occupied , every seat , & corporate lounge in the venue.
I mean lets ignore the fact its not possible for a crowd that size to attend a cricket match at the SCG
the capacity for cricket at the SCG is 46,000 when the seats are taken out for the sight screens at either end ,
looks like those dodgy bastards from derpball were the crowd counters yesterday

I noticed they used the term “all tickets exhausted” this year rather than sellout - still not bad numbers for the AFL at the Gabba. Do you know if it’s the same capacity for cricket and Lions - as I know they configure it differently in some stadiums ? I looked and it eeems to be the same but thought I recalled somewhere that corporate areas in the stands can reduce capacity?

Quick search but it doesn’t seem right re : figures but does show it did vary at one stage anyway
For international cricket matches, the capacity is reduced to 36,000 due to new scoreboards and the addition of a pool deck, as well as wider sight screens. For AFL matches the capacity is slightly larger at 37,478.
Edit - think that is the AI summary you get - so take it with a grain of salt lol

not totally sure, i always assumed it is always less for cricket due to sight screens both ends
