More concering are the crowds in Woolongong, 2132 that's terrible, getting to the Sydney spirit like crowds. Where are the Hawks Fans.

Hawks have terrible support when theyre losing.

Sixers crowd today - lets just pretend there were 6100 today. Its not like other leagues dont fudge their crowds :-)

Cairns is getting a bit worrying with 3800. They will have a good year so so hopefully we will we a rise.

The crowd was good. Northern stand was chock a block. I counted 3 empty seats in the main two areas. The southern silver section looked good and southern gold was pretty full.

If the crowd was 6,136 as the NBL website states its the first time there has been over 6k for a 36ers home game since 6,194 saw us lose 72-67 to the Taipans in January 2012.

No way was there 6100. That would require the entire lower sections being packed pretty much.

So 4,540 was the real crowd then they fudged it to 6,136... sigh NBL stop kidding yourselves.

Wasn't there but if 6k all the lower area must be pretty full - capacity is 7.1 k I think from memory. Good on them if the crowds are up.

Definitely wasn't 6k+ there.....4,500 looked to be more around the mark.

Guys, the crowd is sent through by a Pagemasters reporter with their game report, and they get the figure from the club. There was obviously a mix up somewhere yesterday.

.. I wonder how many left after the womens game and if that matches the count deficit? (i.e potentially they counted from when arrivals for the womens game started.. and circa 2k of them left as people came in for the sixers match)? No idea how they do the count... but just a thought.

The game number on the boxscore was 6136 and it looks like that was mistaken as the crowd figure.

The 36ers also count 'sold' tickets (even if the person isn’t in attendance) so whilst the actual crowd figure may have been around 4,500, season ticket holders etc. who didn’t show up would have also been counted.

Stadium capacity was around 7,800 before some seating was taken away for electronic signage (along the northern stand). Additionally, half the western stand isn’t being used (ie where the RAA lounge was last season), so it’s seriously doubtful seating capacity would be over 7,200...

Perhaps the stadium in its original configuration (i remember individual seats were located on-court along the western and eastern sides up against the advertising signage), plus standing only areas, would have bumped the official capacity to 8000+

I’d anticipate lower crowds over the next couple of games due to juniors being scheduled on the same night and less double headers.

4500 sounds right for actual bums on seats - no way it was any more and definitely not a bigger crowd than the last home game. A little disappointing really given the good form. Hopefully a good crowd on Friday for the Melbourne game.

Are the Wildcats fudging to always report five figure crowds or are they legit numbers? Disappointing to see this sort of thing occurring.

Well, what a Forum, when your topic can be edited........ Perhaps you should delete most of the hoops website until you can get everyone's facts straight!,,,,,,,,... I posted based on NBL web and being at the game and it was pretty full. Not impressed.

Your topic and this thread was based on an error. The 36ers tweeted mid game the actual attendance and if you were there you would know that to be right on

I dont think it's disappointing, I think it's good that when there is a mistake it gets corrected.

Annon, topic titles on every forum I've seen on the net get edited. Replies to you have shown you were wrong and so the title was adjusted. Why the sulking?

I wasn't aware of that record Camel. May be worth the club making a bigger deal of it?

"But it wasn't a mistake."

If you grab a boxscore from the game and look at the game number you'll see exactly what happened.

It has 4,540 on the match report so where does the 6,136 come from?

and if this was a Lightning double header then that is a poor crowd imo.
