turn it in

Didn’t something like this happen when the kiwis toured England a few years back and the test at anfield had to be changed to another day?

What about if the NRL funded a 25k-30k new stadium in Liverpool?

You get the feeling that things are really starting to fall into place and click for the storm off the pitch with big crowds including sellouts regularly attending a fantastic and modern 21st century AAMI park stadium and now the grassroots development and pathways starting to bear fruit.

Yeah, meant to say parramatta instead of souths and getting nearly 60k was a incredible effort by both teams. dogs and tigers need to be based out of homebush?

What’s KR’s potential and ceiling crowd wise? could they one day average around the 14k-15k mark?

Actually not only does the central coast have a better stadium than Adelaide but they also have a genuine RL following in the region. you’ve convinced me mate to change from the Adelaide sharks to the central coast sharks.

I know it’s not nice for cronulla fans but their rundown stadium and small crowds just aren’t good enough and acceptable for today’s NRL and that’s why the club should be relocated to an area with an adequate stadium and public crying out for an NRL team.

Apparently thousands didn’t show because of the rain or it would have been threatening the record again.

Does feel like that unfortunately. the fact that a lot of stadiums in Australia aren’t fully roofed doesn’t help things either.

And what an honour it will be for the victors.

I’ve heard that they sold way more but the weather forced a few no-shows. amazing crowd nonetheless.

They seem confident of getting 70k but I think that’s just a bit of spin and media hype etc. https://www.nrl.com/news/2025/06/09/chills-running-out-bulldogs-out-to-shatter-crowd-records/ To get another 60k+ crowd again in the same season would be phenomenal.

And the bizarre thing was the Canberra game was reported the day before the game to be a sellout and the broncos a near sellout so I don’t know what happened there? think you could be 100% understated with the bulldogs game as I’ve seen reports of 60k tickets sold so far.

The only big boost to the Catalan attendances will be the form of the dragons.
