The reason the A-League was born. To get rid of these historical ethnic rivalries. These idiots have set the NPL back decades.
I will just say "its complicated" and leave it at that regarding Croatian history in WW2.

We now have creative crowd counting when you get nearly 17,000 in a 14,000 ground capacityCh7 broadcast just said over 16,000 at Leederville Oval for the WAFL grand final.
Which is really good, as the capacity was said to be 14,000.
Edit: to add images and show crowd of 16,791
We now have creative crowd counting with creative accounting
Could easily have fitted in another 2 - 3000!We now have creative crowd counting when you get nearly 17,000 in a 14,000 ground capacity

I was at Leederville for the final West Perth home game - over 22k against Subiaco.
The record is 24k. Not much has changed at the ground.

1.671m for last night’s #NRLGF
It is the lowest-rating of all time.

People don't understand how tv ratings work. The AFL GF always outrates the NRL GF, except this year because of the one sided contest i expected NRL to possibly win. They had a one sided game too last night, so the casual viewer would have flicked off as well during the game. Similar to the AFL grand final it brought the ratings down significantly.

Pretty poor, would have suffered from people switching off at half time like the AFL did.
Now imagine if this was played at 2.30pm on a sunny Saturday afternoon?
Those number should silence the night grand final brigade. Makes little difference when it is played.

I don't think the AFL has had less in the past 5 years has it? Never took any notice before then.

Sunday night definitely does help them, can you imagine how dire those numbers would look played early Saturday afternoon?
I actually thought a big Western Sydney Derby, with so many wanting to jump on the Parra bandwagon after a 38 year premiership drought, was going to generate absolutely massive interest, and that that would show in the TV ratings.
Is that HT scoreline enough to scare most neutrals off tuning into the 2nd half. I'm not sure it is. I think the real truth is that an all Sydney grand final just doesn't generate the same widespread interest as an all Melbourne AFL grand final - I think that's the real point of all of this.
And with Penrith, I mean seriously, unless you lived in that locale, who the hell would ever have a soft spot for Penrith??

This is the point. Sydney is nowhere near as interested in sport in general as Melbourne is, particularly comparing AFL to NRL.
Melbourne had 200k more viewers for the AFL GF with only 1 quasi-Melbourne team playing than Sydney did for the NRL GF with two Sydney teams.
First Monday of October is actually a public holiday in most states (including NSW/QLD/WA/SA) so its more akin to a Saturday night. But no doubt if they played it during the day the figures would be worse.
So why don't the NRL play their GF on Sat afternoons anymore?

So the 14,000 ground capacity wasn't full then?

So you prefer the blue and pink brigade idol Robbie Williams over Jimmy Barnes?
I bet you don't let your mates down the pub know that
I guess you prefer Kylie over AC/DC as well
No, because there was 17k there.
What's with the fixation with Leederville's Oval's capacity ?
The record for Leederville Oval is 24k and I've been there with a 22k.
Nothing much has changed except probably people are quoting a comfortably seated figure.
17k seems the right figure IMO.
Pretty much as expected i would have thought - two Western Sydney teams.
