Yep, the 30,000 AFL fans have a choice alright in Qld, either go to the suns who are winning (yet still not selling out and I hear some dude called sun of god got knackered so they're fucked even more now) or go to the pathetic paddle pop lions who can't beat an egg unless it has a living away from home allowance attached to it.




I think that sums it all up, the ratings more or less back this up too with their 30k a game average on tv or roughly that (also taking into consideration the old fogies who never change the channel or the flips who turn it on without watching to help with the ratings - aye cus you like those ones )

so that works like that for the titans as well, only 10k of fans, when they get the broncos playing 10k of their fans make the trip from brisbane for the 20k fudged crowd?
just give i up parraeels the titans gone, people are switching over to a more exciting product
what will happen now to them
the NRL had to pay the rent for the titans last year, as the titans had the bank almost close the club down.
35 million in debt, and no crowds to games

was it a sellout yesterday fuckwit
with its 25K crowd :_<> :_<> :_<> :_<> :_<> :_<>

why of course it was

how come the NRL has never sold out the Sydney Football stadium
45,500 (Venue Capacity)
Rugby league 42,482

:_<> :_<>
the SFS's capacity has been 45,500 only since 2006 dickhead
the 42,482 attendance you have there was for the 1997 Grand Final .. when the venues capacity was
42,500

again
thanks for failing you Metho swilling fucktard

So why haven't they sold out since pissy pants???? Plenty of Match of the round, semi finals - FFS they haven't even got close!!!! Perhaps you should give up bubbling on your home brew!!!

Because most semi finals and finals have been held at another stadium since 1999.

derp!

sellout = all seats SOLD para.

Yeah, when the crowd for a single game that is not a sell out is bigger than the TV ratings from the same joint, you're the one with problems esp seeing as the team is propped up to the max while the team in the other code fights it's way back to the top.

There is a difference here, one will build a hardcore support base based on the love of the team and club while the other will build a base like the paddle pop lions and eventually fall of the side of the map..

The game is played elsewhere.

Oh I see Alliance is not used for finals anymore - oh so when there were 4 finals played at Alliance stadium in 2013 for a total of 94k and an average of 23500 crowds it's imagined is it, FFS paralytic get off the bubbler juice!!!!

Did I say what you just stated you dopey flog?

Read it again ******, I said most.

they still have the dopey roosters and manly using it and everyone know manly fans only cross the bridge when they make the big one while the roosters are a fucking myth.

pirtek rarely gets a crowd of over 20,000 even when public allocations are exhausted

eels sold out a few games this season but never got to 20k, it was the same with the wanderers who sold out 7 home games last season but never got an official attendance of over 19k

public allocations can be sold out but if stadium members dont turn up then there's not much you can do

Pirtek doesn't hold 20,000 idiot.

They put seats in where the hills are, they changed some co boxes, it has been reduced from 1986 where it got a record crowd of 27,000 against souths to these days being sold out at 19,500. How hard is it to get it through your thick skull?

so the NRL has still never sold out the SFL with 45.500k

If every seat is sold to an event then it's a sellout ... It's not hard parra

it will still hold that amount, but it will never get that amount of people in to it.
you will find as your NRL memberships grow, not sure how many different forms of memberships you can by in the NRL,
but in the AFL there is club memberships, AFL membership, the MCG hasMCC memberships & a few others, Etihad stadium has medallion club, Diamond club & Access one. these are all different levels of membership, people pretty much pay money for a seat at that venue for the whole season that only they have access to.

as the NRL starts to focus more on the membership side of things, you will find grounds will never reach their full capacity, even though it will be listed as a sell out, as people will be bying memberships. as the grounds and NRL will make good money from them

i went to pirtek to watch wsw vs sfc last season, they stopped selling tickets for the match a few days out and the attendance was a little over 18k

if stadium and club members dont turn up then theres nothing you can do pretty much. public allocation was sold out
