I just don't get how people continue to think Brisbane crowds are shit.

I know Suncorp Stadium makes the crowds look smaller than they really are, but they've consistently been over 10k, and that's without the help of a derby to boost averages unlike in Sydney and Melbourne. 

will be interesting to see what type of crowds Victory get at Marvel over the next 2 weeks with our season being over. Very hard to predict.


have to say I agree. Brisbane have put Adelaide and Perth to shame over the years. Brisbane have averaged 2,000 more than both of those teams this season and 2,000 more than Adelaide over 15 years of HAL and 4,000 over Perth over 15 years of HAL.  

SYD derby 20k

jets vs perth 8k

victory vs adelaide 18k

WU vs ccm 4k

city vs brisbane 8k free maccas tickets and double header but it's still sunday night 

to nudge an aggregate attendance of 60k for one round will be a good achievement

some of the lads in the other thread were saying vic vs adel is at marvel and they are expecting a low turnout 

SYD derby 18k
jets vs perth 7k

South Melbourne FC, one of the clubs heavily involved in a push for a national second division, registered over 10,000 Facebook views on NPL Victoria’s live stream of their game against Eastern Lions on Sunday. The YouTube view count for the match was over 5,300.

2nd division model right here

That's over 15k viewers 

very encouraging
maybe South Melbourne should have got a license

Depends what you mean by viewer.

On facebook, if the video autoplays for 3 secs, its counted as a view.  If you count the number of times someone clicked on the video link to initiate the video, then this can be dramatically lower.
Youtube is better, you at least have to click the video and start it yourself, indicating you have some actual interest in it, before they count it.  

SFV v WSW - 18,500

18,501 at the derby

That is seriously piss poor. I was at the game and their where spaces everywhere you looked. To think we have gone from regular 40,000 + to not filling a small suburban ground.

You do realise it was sold out right? They couldn't give anymore tickets out because they can only sell a selected amount for safety reasons. The capacity is set in place in the situation of an emergency so they wont just keep selling tickets until they think it looks full enough.

Whether or not this is true i honestly don't know, but apparently the capacity was reduced from the 20.5k to 19.5k as a way to divide and keep control between the home/away fans. (Again this info could be incorrect, but i've read it a few times, before the rescheduling)

Secondly, the match was rescheduled, there would most likely be a small portion of people who would have bought or held season tickets the rescheduling affected there ability to attend. There was 18.5k of a possibly 19.5k, thats 95% full. 

If a larger stadium was selected, the attendance would've been higher but the atmosphere and energy most definitely wouldn't have been the same.

It was a pretty good attendance when all factors are taken into consideration.

That’s the worst derby atmosphere I have encountered.

That's what happens when the home side loses.  ;)

Way better than any game I went to at ANZ.

I am a bit more of a hater  than you and refuse to give them a penny of my money, so i can't compare the two.
No roofs at Kogarah doesn't help the atmosphere. ( I know, we have one roof )

100% agreed. There's no comparison. 

Nothing in any sport in Australia beat a full SFS for a derby game, nothing !

A full house at Bankwest Stadium will beat it, but let's not forget the active support isn't as big as it was a few years ago.

Even the 60k+ 4-0 drubbing felt flat atmosphere wise. 

The SFS had many faults but the way the "roof "was designed it kept sound extremely well. 

Missed the first derby this season but intend on being there in a few weeks time. 

Those SFS derbies were special though, crowd split 50/50, both active groups hating on each other like nothing else and the rest of the crowd getting right in on it. I doubt we'll ever see that again unfortunately. 

When are you people going to start to realise and accept this league is struggling, and standing watching and complaining is going to help it at all. Everyones just out there like, crowd was shite, atmopshere was crap, tifo was plain.

Id rather have 18.5k in Kogarah, then 25-30k at the SCG or ANZ. We all complain that Roar, Nix, West United and even the likes of Newcastle and City play in oversized stadiums but when all of a sudden the stadium could be filled we would to upgrade to larger venues to accommodate for more empty seats? 

The atmosphere and active support in the A league is very much struggling around the league, however it seems to be back on the up with supporter groups attempting to encourage people to get involved again and both sides of fans made plenty of noise and respect to them. 

I think sutherlandbear's point was that the stadium wasn't at full capacity, which was never going to happen for a sold-out rescheduled match with no option of a refund for those who couldn't make it.

I agree. It's sad but true.
