Look you idiot, some people out here travel 12 hours one fooking way to watch their team play once a fortnight.

Just STFU about RL in Australia, you and your couple of mates here have NFI.

England isn't even as big as Tasmania, have you seen the size of our CONTINENT?

Derp derp derp derp derp.

The season average at the moment is 16,753.

Last year it was 16,406, how is it down?

cut back on the names and expletives eels please.

Do I detect a certain recurring animosity or bee in your bonnet about that JB?

How was your stay in one of the world's most important cities? (wipes tear from soho born eye)

Quote: Rooster Booster "cut back on the names and expletives eels please.'" It's like talking to a brick bloody wall with some of this mob. The average is up this year. Some may have a point if the draw was the same as last year and the year before. But it's not. There are plenty of big games to come yet and we are already doing better than last year. Instead of going round by round to see if it's up, how about looking at the individual games against the same teams last year, that tells the real story. stats.rleague.com/rl/crowds/summary.html It's there in black and white.

East Hull to Venice. Will you notice any difference?

Soho, bless it.

Yeah, as for atmosphere at games, unfortunately as hard as our australian cousins try, they don't seem to match it. Though it is amusing at Souths fans attempts to sing a version of "barmy army".

Wow, so much for crowds down eh? Note, some won't like this, so don't look forums.leagueunlimited.com/showp ... tcount=218

OK........so we didn't get enough fans to games to keep tabs on 2010, but at tye half way point of the regular season the figures make pretty OK reading.
1,587,652 fans have watched 96 games, giving an average of 16,538 per game only 66 a match down on 2010 at this stage of the season.
SoO is looking like getting 3 sell out crowds and the Anzac test was only 1k short of being a sell out........all in all, given the bad weather that hit 'Stralia earlier this year and the hardship faced by many, this sin't a bad state of affairs at all.

The trick is now for the NRL/ARL to kick on with some extra marketing initiatives to get more fans to games.....round 14 is a tricky one with Manly and St G both playing in open/uncovered Bowls......at the mercy of the Rain, whilst the Storm on a Monday is never going to break records......the Warriors might get a few for the visit of Benji and the Broncos might get a few on Sunday afternoon, but rather than just shrug the shoulders and accept lesser gates in the SoO affected games why not do special offers?

Tracking like for like......80k+ would be acceptable this coming weekend, but 100K is where it should be IMO.

You're forgetting Eels fans FACT that "NSW are into their clubs more" so there should be good crowds for the Dragons and Manly games, even with Origin on.
