no sydney club averages 10,000

perhaps you confused the sydney clubs with Hull KR.

the worst clubs are at around 13,000 and the best are at 18,000

I'm talking about home fans NOT club averages. The Roosters game was a perfect example of how averages can squew the reality. 24,000 will make the Roosters avg look good, reality was there was only around 10-11,000 Roosters fans at the game. Most Sydney games are made up of 10-12,000 home fans and 2-3,000 away fans when it is a Sydney team. Hence the Sydney avg of 15,000. A couple of big games a year helps mask the 10,000 and below crowds when they play out of towners.

Roosters, Penrith, Cronulla, Manly,Parra and St's (when playing in the Gong) all have around 10,000 home fans.

Wests, St's (in St George), Bulldogs, Sth's are the only clubs with a decent home fanbase approaching 15,000+

well if thats your criteria then bye bye storm, raiders and warriors who are pretty much the same then

I watched the Warriors v Souths U20s game as one of our boys was playing for Souths.

Yep. It's exactly the same as Jersey Flegg was.

corrigan got injured in first grade, looked serious

looks too small for me tbh. cant see what the fuss is about

Difference is none of those teams are having to fight with 8 other NRL teams for corporate $'s in their city. Also Warriros and Storm will get 20,000 before most Sydney clubs mentioned imo.

Penrith are the biggest enigma for me, massive RL area massive jnr and amateur scene, semi decent stadium, far enough away from other clubs not to be encroached yet they draw such poor crowds. Sure the team hasn't been much to write home about for some time but other equally bad teams have drawn a crowd.

financially the warriors, raiders and storm are worse off than most sydney clubs you talk about

so lets be fair, you want them out, well bye bye storm, raiders and warriors as well

penriths crowds are going well this year.

Penrith packed out the stadium so many times in 2003-2004 when they were doing well.

Like every team no one supports them when they lose.

Anyone can say how big the Broncos crowds are and credit to them but no other club has been as successful in a short amount of time as they have. They have only not made the finals once.

and they took a market of 9 teams in brisbane and became one.

their crowds are actually poor for the citys population.

they need another team.
