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.....

no I think you have dickhead
the Raiders averaged 10,030 in 1983 ( their 2nd year )

&
Canberra/ Queanbeyans population in 1983 was about 260K
its now 420K

the Midgets don't measure up in any way .. shape .. or form

we did it
& your done

end of

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.

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?

ah no dribbler

when you are new .. theres a honeymoon period
& after a few years your support at the ground is based on success .... if you're winning it increases
if you aren't .. like the Raiders weren't in 1982-3-4-5-6 , it wains

the Midgets crowds won't fill a phone box in a few years time .. if they continue to serve up the utter shit ..that they have been
the honeymoon is all but ova now
they are all but assured of their 2nd spoon in a row .. & I think a 3rd in 2014 is not out of the question

the Raiders 6851 in 1986 will be the high end of their expectations in a year or 2
sub 5000 is a more realistic mark for these *********

down with poorer performing A League clubs
which is where they belong
