Cheers Sheldon, trying to gather all league crowds for SL, NRL and the championships for an idea i've had with justarugbyfan.

18278 at the anz

Cheers mate, good crowds I reckon. With Super League averaging 9500 so far too, very positive.

Canberra's was 7,862

avg for the round 18,735

Needed an ark or canoe to get to games this week, bloody rain

My heart bleeds!

Try living in deepest, darkest, coldest Lancashire!

Get a roof or a brolly!

oOOOH...an attendance thread! I wonder how this one will end up



51,000 down from 2011 and the lowest opening round attendance since 2004. Regardless of the weather, which was crap, a couple of the attendances at the weekend were terrible.

27,803 for roosters v Souths in 2011....18,278 12 months later? Penrith and Canberra both shameful (regardless of the weather).......

So 51,000 less people than Rd 1 last season went to a game.

Overall 9% more people watched it on telly than Rd 1 last season.


TBF Lockyer, this is a thread about attendances, not viewing figures.

Very poor attendances.
