So the Raiders have been in the comp since 1982, where the average crowd was 10,825 with a smaller population to draw upon. Last season when they made the finals they actually had a lower average crowd of 10,190 despite as you put it a massive increase in the population to attract fans from. Oh deary me, what a failure the Raiders are. Canberra's unwanted team it seems.Raiderdave wrote:no I think you have dickheadDrac wrote:Let's do this.
I'll just leave with this. The Giants are in their second year. If you think a 6k crowd in your second year is pathetic Dave, you've obviously forgotten the crowds the Raiders were pulling when they entered the nRL.....![]()

Oh and BTW, in 1986 the average Canberra Raiders crowd was 6,851. Based on that you'd have to say the Giants are doing ok right?
