Sydney Swans have no trouble getting fans through the gate

[Xman]

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

It has nothing to do with it being an eels game and everything to do with the fact that a game touted as a farewell to some NRL stars, with free tickets and free public transport, managed to become one of the NRL's best attended H&A games in decades, but was only a few thousand over an AFL game in Sydney this year.

Pathetic!

[justanotherleaguefan]

There were no free tickets given

[Beaussie]

Thousands of discounted tickets were on offer for any NRL club member and still they fall short of their target 50k on a beautiful sunny day in Sydney.

Yeah RL heartland and wooden spooners.

I could add the crowds for the last home games of the Port Ade/GWS/Suns who are all at the foot of the ladder and you guys still would struggle to crack 45k.

Youre comparing the almighty eels to the giants in their first season.

Port play at a ground with a capacity of 40k so no they havent had a home crowd of 45k

Shame their average is higher though hey?

You made the claim as fact without checking to see that it was total BS!

You deserve the BS point for being a tool. Maybe you shouldnt have claimed it as fact.

The game was played at the MCG, Which is also the bombers home ground..... hardly disproving my point that the Eels in last place can outdraw GWS,SUNS, PORT in the same week.
