28,000 on a long weekend isn't that bad. As has been said and is said everytime one of these threads is created, it's just a culture thing. Sporting attendances are rarely large in Sydney.
This is so. As others have noted NRL crowds are much lower and Super 14 attendances are going down every year.
The Swans game I must say is dead booring. I have lost interest going for entertainment alone and am no longer a member.
