Crowd number for preliminary final

[Wardy]

Heard on the news this morning that we are 3000 tickets ahead of the NRL- so one day to go and there may be a few walk up for the nose bleed sections on the night as well - weather looking good now too!!! Happy days!????

Is there no comparison graph in today's Telegraph?

More tickets sold than I expected. It's going to be huge! I'm getting very nervous already actually I must admit.

No probably not - the rugby league hacks at the Tele would be spewing!!!???? do they just won't acknowledge it - the old ignore it and it will go away - Wrong!!!!????

There would be more there... but the pies supporters think they're going one more week; and the dole cheque will only stretch soooooo far.

It's fantastic that so many tickets have been sold. The place will rock!

I need to be focusing on work and not continually jumping on RWO but I think it's because I'm so nervous too. It will be huge. However I expect calmness and serenity to befall me tomorrow morning as the day of our destiny plays out for us....

big numbers are going to cost me a dinner / night out .. I guessed low numbers and the wife higher numbers...

Guess I am going to pay again..

Happy to be wrong in this instance..

Sports bet have the NRL having highest crowd at $1.60, Swans at $2.25

Rather an odd market to be in knowing that the NRL regularly fudge their crowd, and being after the AFL will no doubt post a just-higher crowd number irrespective of how many people turn up.

Maybe the sports bet odds are reflecting that already, seeing as the AFL is 5000 ahead already.

I hope so...

Either way massive crowds at both events will show that Sydney is the sporting capital of Australia

. Lol, nice one.

So funny how we follow this so closely, but I can't help it.

I reckon I'm checking hourly for any snippet of news on the crowd numbers.

I'm also doing Tickettests where I do dummy buys to see what's available.

I'm making mental estimates based on those figures.

I have us at 67,000 now.

And imagine if on top of bumper crowds at both ANZ, two further things happen:

1. The Hawks/Crows game fails to pull a bigger crowd than even our league game.
2. Both the Storm and the Hawks lose their prelims, wiping the entire state of Melbourne off the sporting map for next weekend.

I'm doing tickettests....

RWOers we may need to do an intervention! It's going to be a loooonnnnggggg 24 hours.
