Well I was one of those watching the “non-prime time game”, and not the other matches listed. It was 2.30pm in WA, and I know that a kiwi derby will always be entertaining.
Obviously if I still had an Australian Super Rugby team to support, then I would have had some interest in the other matches too. Alas....
(And no, I’m not a kiwi).

Thanks. Just wanted to check I was not misinterpreting.
Interesting about the Friday to Saturday Kiwi game comparison.

Big game coming up this Friday, I am not a Rebels fan but hoping for:
A. A good Crowd
B. Good ratings
C. A win by the Rebels or a tight game
I think a win by the Rebels will be great for Aus Rugby, there is a lot riding on this one, there are quite a few "fans" out there that are waiting for Aus sides to get pumped by the Kiwis so they can bring out the "Ï told you so"
I will be watching and cheering for the Rebels, anybody in Melbourne thinking of going to the game please do so and drag a mate with you!
Hoping for a cracking game!!!

Well said mate, to me the result isn’t exactly important but the performance is what I’ll be looking for. We need to see something that says we can take it to the very best. From there hopefully backed up with a good game on Saturday with the Tahs and Brums watched by an improved crowd (15/16k +). Would set the season up for all teams to show they are finally moving forward. There is a strong correlation with all teams performances and the health of the others, QLD are looking like they are doing their part in improving.

Highest attendance for a regular season game at home for the rebels since 2012

great news but it makes me question whether the crowd is under-reported or if previous crowds were over-reported.
The crowd looked a lot more that 50% bigger than previous weeks to me

It was about right.
Second tier on the western stand was completely closed.
Rest of the stands were roughly 50% then you add corporate.
I was predicting 14-15 at the game, it’s also first time I’ve seen cues beyond the ticket office, was great to see.
As I said earlier, fingers crossed for tonight’s game, could be a great weekend for rugby

There’s nothing to gain by under-reporting a crowd, theres some to gain by reporting crowds larger then are there, especially at the 10k threshold..

Over the past couple of years I'd guess that most of the Reds home games have had their highest crowd figures when they play New Zealand opposition. I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing occurs to the Rebels.

I hate to be that guy but I wonder what the gate proceeds were at 16k and more worryingly what they were at 8-10k in previous rounds compared to previous years.
I think it’s great they got a semi decent crowd but if they’re paying 40% less then it’s only gate takings equivalent to a 9600 crowd last year and similarly a 10k crowd is equivalent to 6k of previous.
Definitely looks better but does it help the bottom line at all?

Had a look at last years numbers for all teams (2017)
Average crowd size for Aus home games v
SA (7 games) - 10,000
Aus (13 games) 11,500
NZ (10 games) - 14,000
7 games were missing (never announced) and only one Jags game had a number (11,000)
Kiwis definatley draw bigger crowds across the country
