Good to see.

18,000 is my tip. Close to 90% capacity.

Will then make Rothfield and the Tele look like the fools they are...

I reckon they will pull in close to 20k. I was about to buy my tickets today on my lunch hour at work, but ended up winning 4 from the NRL in a twitter competition! Happy days



Really looking forward to both games. Bring on a great weekend!

ill bet all those who posted on here saying what a joke this situation was now look like right knobs

anything over 15,000 for this game is brilliant.

i think this is the first serious test PNG has played in sydney for 30 years.

The Grand Final was almost sold out too bar a few seats dotted around. Its a reduced capacity for the rugby for some reason but there weren't many seats left, twas a reet squash on those small seats.
For some reason a lot turned up for the club wembley too, moreso than last year anyway so you never know, one day these prawn sandwich nobs might turn out in full.

anything over 16k would be a decent attendance this weekend. We only got 11,500+ last year against france iirc which I thought was a decent attendance. Just hope the Kumuls can make a show of it.

rare opportunity to see your int team in a meaningful Int game in your heartland city with no other RL distractions. And we are excited at getting over 15k (which will be considerably boosted ny PI'landers there to watch the first game). RL ambition knows no bounds!

What would make you excited?
You are an English supporter living in an area with no top class competition and dreams of "back home"
Nothing will make you happy because you are a "pommy whinger"
No one gives a flying F*ck about Perth or the West when will you realize that.
What a combo, a whining Pom that sh*ts on most things positive in a country that despises people like this.

OOOOOOooooooooh, someones a bit cranky today arent they

Not at all Smokey
I can not cop people that move to another country for a better opportunity or Lifestyle and then whinge about the people from that Country or go on about a lifestyle they condemned and left.
Its a bit like the USA love it or leave it, dont take the benefits and quality of lifestyle and then sh*t on whats around you.
If its that bad Fu*k off back where your Heart is.
Its that simple.

45k at SFS with great media coverage and the game actually being shown live nationally (or even in NSW ffs) would do me!

I bet I know what redneck sticker you've got on the back of your Holden!



(Not) this one

Poms all whinge Jonesy.

To be honest I would be more surprised to find a pom in Oz that actually LIKED it






I remember speaking to a bloke from Essex once who had moved to Cronulla and his wife wanted to move home because she found the beaches were 'too sandy'


And I'm dead set serious.

basically if you just reverse everything JB says about the nrl youll be spot on.

hes good for a laugh though

Nope...should have been sold out 8 weeks ago when the event was announced....discounted tickets, last minute email offers......yep...the IRB must be cacking their pants


It's your national team...the best in the world in anything but title.....but nope.....last minute surge...offers galore and you cream your pants....


Soooooo looking forward to watching this 4 nations IN THE FLESH......and watching the country that supplies 65% of the toyota cup players win the trophy!!!!!

We should get more than 16,000.

Spot on.

Same with about 50 others I could name.

You don't know whether your Arthur or Martha...

Beating up rugby league left right and centre and then pretending to be a non ARLT.

Sorry I'll correct that.

TRYING to beat up rugby league left right and centre.

lol

Not very successfully...then again, with next to no knowledge of the game, am I surprised?

lol

Hang on bazza I love it here!

Only cos you havent got any sandy beaches in the suburb you are

Considering [url=http://www.rugbyinternational.net/Wallabies test match attendances[/url, they only attracted 15,000 to watch Fiji this year. In Australian Rugby Union these days, only New Zealand are a really big draw (just as NZ are in RL). Brisbane will draw 45K against a top tier nation, like Ireland and SA this year. Just as Brisbane can draw that many for a RL test. Stadium Australia only attracted 48K for England test this year, 42K for France last year. Italy only drew 20K and 22K last year to Canberra and Melbourne respectively.

The tabloid and FTA media paints these doom and gloom stories every year, but RL tests capitalise on that hype, and attract walk up crowds on the day. This should attract 15K, and that would be a decent result.

Actually I am a marketing person who simply points out the facts as they are. I'm
A laegue fan first but I am not stupid enough to think league even registers on a global scale when
Compared to the other codes. Even in australia, where league is massive
Afl gets more tv money.
All you do is provide opinion......I bring facts to the table. HTH

You've never brought a single fact to the table.









But back to thread, we should get the 18K.

Why not comment on the union crowds posted above?

It is clearly your favoured subject.

Like the non facts in this thread for instance... viewtopic.php?f=43&t=474857 lol Keep trying...

In the summer months you can't tear me away from them, unless it's to the boozer.
