Finals attendance figures

The NRL must be stocked with the attendance this weekend... 28k on Friday, 26k in Auckland, 17k last night and plenty of empty seats for today's game. And that's despite most of the stadiums holding much larger numbers.

With Souths now gone, and Newcastle without a home game, there are no other clubs that will pull big numbers. Imagine a finals series with Parra, Canterbury, St George, Souths, Brisbane, Newcastle, Wests.

  • The sharks should be kicked out of the comp with only 17k turning up.   Thats a joke.  Might aswell move them to Adelaide 

    • Just let them play at their fucking dump. 

  • In Sydney only Parramatta, Dogs and Dragons can attract huge crowds in finals  , just a shame that they are shit clubs .

    • Always thought Souths had huge swathes of support no?

      Roosters have no base.

  • I just noticed the staduim at Commbank. It is empty for and its Penrith Roosters! How?

  • The panthers should be embarrassed they can only draw half a stadium to a finals match after totally dominating the comp for the past 7 years.

    • They were one of the smallest fan bases pre 2020. They're all bandwagoners now

    • Considering Commbanks just up the road. The NRL have some issues looking at their finals attendance numbers that's for sure. 

    • I know. Imagine if that was Parra winning all those Premierships! The NRL wouldn't know what to do with us, we would be so dominant.

    • I mean yeah if Parra played it's sold out in minutes, home or away team.

      NRL's dream for a Sunday final would be Eels v Dogs at CommBank. But even then the NRL would consider Accor to get a big crowd.
