Pax 6216 at wellington vs city 

So from all the games/fixtures attendances list, 2 were outdoors in Melbourne, solid weather, another 2 were indoors so weather aint a problem and the final one was over in Perth were from my knowledge weather wasnt bad.

However, embarrassing from the 'new regime' for the low crowd caused due to the factor of having major storms throughout the entire weekend, lots of road closures denying access from the coast to Newcastle, the match put at risk of being cancelled and the poor weather which continued throughout the match. 

Gotta hate this 'new regime' clearly investing all there money to the weather systems to make the conditions horrible for our game, stupid new regime!!!!

What else do you expect from paulc

You must have a tiny, tiny life to be bothered, really.

For God's sake, take up a hobby.  Stamp collecting would be positively enervating after what you are wasting your time on here. 

The crowd at Suncorp looked right to me.

The only surprise was that it got so many attending with the storms. Didn' think we'd get 9K but we did.

Deary me, just embarrassing.

Thanks new regime...

I think next season will be better 12 teams and hopefully no salary cap

I'm not getting any younger... hope they get on with it!

Seriously, this is the future of the A League if it is to have a future.

Agree. 30k is the minimum for optics.

If it makes anyone feel better the attendance has been that great for any of the other sports this weekend 

At least now there is ambition to move, and within three years 

Agree. That lower bowl holds 28k and even with an 18-22k Rugby crowd there it still looks poor. It’s only 30k+ where it looks good 

I should add that I've been at Suncorp with 15k and it still looks empty on tv.

The stadium is a disaster for the Roar and, more broadly, for the A League,  

Again we return to the stadium problem.

3,000 would be just THREE of those bays filled. It’s laughable if anyone thinks the crowd in there last night could fit into just three bays. 

I know the stadium well.  When it rains like that, everyone moves up under the covered areas and out of camera view.  Also, with small crowds like 8-9k, the seats in the western stand always go first, so same side as the cameras.  In a stadium that holds 52k and less 1/5 full, with everyone in the western stands, the cameras will always show an almost empty view.  Then add in the few who the cameras can see going for cover in the rain, and you have what you saw last night.

This is simply a description of the situation.  I wasn't there last night, so I have no idea of whether the crowd figure is accurate or not, but it certainly conceivable that almost 9k were there despite the empty seats on our screens.

were you there?

And the usual morons trying to defend the figures. How can anyone honestly say that Suncorp had near 1 in 5 seats occupied last night. 

Its almost as if people don't want to sit in the rain 

I see the usual morons in here crying about crowd figures 

Probably the most inflated crowd figure I have ever seen at any AL/NRL/AFL match. I agree 3-4k absolute tops.

Great that Brisbane are going back to Dolphin next week and better is the stadium talk. The stand has little to no rain coverage as viewed on TV so it just looks empty. Get rid of Suncorp ASAP. 

How? on TV there were no more then 3k tops.
