Talking Footy

Canberra's NRL team is at home this weekend. With 8,000 odd members surely they'll all show up and ensure a crowd of 15k or more yeah?

Will the Raiders get a bigger crowd than Greater Western Sydney vs St Kilda at Manuka Oval?

Lets hope the Raiders don't feel the need to follow what is now common practice in the NRL and resort to fudging the crowd numbers on the weekend.

So what's your crowd prediction? Raiderdave will you be at the game?

will I be at the game ?
of course

15K ... no it won't be that many
I'd say 11 or 12K maybe .... double the ..real.. crowd at Manuka
the warriors won't bring many with them...

but based on yr membership to crowd ratio scenario

the swines should be getting ova 60K to all games
but they are only getting a 3rd of that Bearsy .... why is that ?

based on the swines crowds & their membership tally & your formula
the raiders should be happy with ..... 4000 ?

nice attempt at deflection.

I'm dragging 14 people to the GWS game on Sat. Hopeful of a pretty decent turnout.

dragging being the operative word as thats the only way anyone would go
freebies being thrown around like confetti in the region as well... schools , local VFL clubs .... radio give aways
if you know yr name you win

if anyone is paying to go , well they are fools

The Raiders play after the Giants, so no doubt they'll be looking at the Giants crowd figure and just fudge theirs up a bit to make sure it beats the Giants.

Will anyone be watching this game on TV it's up against the rabbitohs and the storm?
Be lucky to break 10k at the game and 150k on TV

Yep, when nRL games clash on TV their ratings dwindle.

No, I recall a Titans game last year getting a paltry 60k on Speed. I wouldn't expect much more for the arse Raiders this week.

drac me boy you gave away the game their pal!

Hard luck mate, some things you just can't hide

1) *there
2) Technically only dragging 5 people, the rest are coming of their own free will lol. The 5 are nRL fans i'm working a conversion angle on. Agreed to go to SOO with them if they'd come to GWS games. You may think this tactic won't work, but since moving to Canberra i've seriously converted 4 people away from your heathen nonsense sport. Supercoach also helps immensely. AFL supercoach is superior to nRL supercoach, and the prize money is double. Gives people a reason to want to watch games, and the rest takes care of itself.
