Talking Footy

With Richmond v Collingwood drawing 72,000 this Friday night it's worthwhile asking how many NRL club games does it take to equal this game.

The count so far
Manly v South Sydney (both huge clubs in Sydney)
9600
Brisbane v Titans (Brisbane being the biggest club in the NRL with the largest membership 33800 just down the road from home)
21080.

So that's right folks so far 2 NRL games can't manage to get half of 72,000 (for you NRL posters that's 36k). So what will it take 4 games? 6 games? All 8. What's your guess?

AFL near 1.25m for TV ratings. NRL struggled to get to 1m

Not bad, not bad at all. Only 25k short of what turned up at the MCG to watch a rugby league match, good effort [-o< You've always got the Grand Final to rely on . Its sure to get a bigger crowd.

Was the crowd there to watch the football or attend the anti Muslim rally?

not bad hey? A mere home and away game that gets only 19k off RL's biggest attendance for 2015.

No Xman our biggest attendance was that match 93k.

That Muslim rally must have really had the crowd baying for blood.

Yeah considering it is a club vs a club and not a rep match between two states!!! Like that makes the RL SOO crowd look not as impressive there pussy! And you do realise that in Australia we do have freedom of speech - as Islam is a religion and not a race people can say whatever they like about it. We are not living under sharia law just yet even if you want us too!

i know what your biggest attendance last year was. Last night we came within 20k of it with a mere home and away game

So the tally so far
Manly v Sth Sydney 9603
Broncos v Titans 21080
Melb v Knights 11443

Looks like it's gunna be 5 NRL games to 1 AFL game.

Meanwhile
Demons v Essendon 50424
Crows v Port 51585

Geeze very embarrassing for the NRL

Titans v Broncos, not the way you have it, trying to make the broncos crowd look smaller than they really are and trying to take a good crowd off the titans.

How the hell is it a good crowd for the Titans? Brisbane is 1 hour down the road

Because theyve been an abortion..on & off the field for the last 4 yrs .

They are finally getting their act together & if they keep playing the way they have crowds will increase .

and if they hadnt played the Broncos they would have had another pathetic crowd. Broncos fans boosting the crowd doesnt make it a good crowd for the titans

Bronco fans rarely travel n numbers to the GC for the game .
Last night was the best crowd in years

lol well what happened to that 93k from SOO pissycat?
those bandwagon fans from SOO fall away very fast & in large numbers
the usual pathetic crowd this time 11k show up to the Minnowbourne storm game
meanwhile across the road, the worst preforming AFL side the Demons played Essendon a team that has been a basket case for the last decade & is playing a second string top up side & 51k show up
