I remember The Age writing an article about this last year with a whole list of reasons as to why sell outs don't reach capacity. One of the reasons, apparently, was when the game sells out some people who have already purchased a ticket end up not going because they don't like the big crowds!

The issue is that the crowds make it hard to drive to the ground and get easy parking. Personally I feel that the atmosphere more then makes up for it.

Why would you drive to the game in a city where transport is so accessible?

used to be the VFL could get more to a game then an entire round of the old NSWRL

now
it can't

even on its best day

Swines games could handle all Sydney NRL matches by themselves
& now games invloving the swines .. its premier.. are more then doubled by single NRL attendances

RL .. growing
VFL... declining

haha. This is such a great self-convinced victory. It's like an obese couch potato running the 100m in 7 minutes, having previously run it in 8, and claiming victory over Usain Bolt for running 9.47 seconds instead of 9.45 seconds.

obese couch potato quickening
Usain Bolt in decline
