If you two, Gutters and Sad, oops I mean Sal ever use your heads, you'll work it out why a miserable 450 people less a game are turning up this season.

And actually, that wasn't a go at you Guts.

Even Tallis is saying the quality is dropping - whilst you may consider yourself more knowledgable I think you are in a minority of one

A miserable 450 people a game - lets hope your arrogance is matched by the people who run the clubs.

You haven't got a clue as to why attendances are dropping so don't pretend you do

Reasons:
1. Cost
2. Poor stadia + poor weather
3. Low/poor media profile of NRL
4. Clueless/skint NRL marketing dept
5. clueless/skint NRL club marketing dpt's
6. Lack of fans for the game in proximity to teams
7. No WA team (ok I made this one up!)

ps why was the last attendance tracker thread locked? I thought it was useful and Sheldon was doing a good job keeping track of how attendances were travelling.

It turned into a bitch feast jb, before I became a mod there was about 20 pages deleted and numerous warnings given out.

So I edited and locked it, it's still there all up to date but now we can argue on the discussion thread.

Maybe if some of the people here in the know looked at QLD for a start, they'd realise that people who have lost everything have a few things on their mind instead of footy.

Maybe they could look at the Monday night games this year played in stadiums with stuff all cover being affected by some of the wettest weather we have seen in years.

Monday is a crowd killer as it is, but to play at Brooky and Penrith in ing down rain with no cover doesn't help.

Then you could also look at which teams are firing and which ones are not.

see...I would make a good Moderator

Did the floods effect Townsville and the Gold Coast?

Are they playing more games on a Monday nights this year?

St George look similar to last year Brisbane are going better, Melbourne have more to play for etc.

So in other words you have no idea as to why the crowds are dropping!!

Cyclone yasi hit Townsville before the season kicked off, google it and learn something.

And since when do all of the Titans supporters come from the Gold Coast, isn't it 40 mins away from Brisbane?

Or are you saying it's only in Australia that you have to follow your local team? 4.1669921875:5
