    That's a pretty amazing crowd for Super 14, regardless of who is playing!
    If anyone knows the Force v Hurricanes crowd figure I can give you the Season and History averages for the Force.

    Disappointed with the Festival of Hate numbers. Us GTT people had a blast entertaining ourselves. I wonder how many came to watch us as we were highly amusing, just ask me how highly amusing and will say heaps highly amusing.

    Righto, using 28k (hopefully someone has the actual at some stage, in the excitment of the match the Fox boys forgt to announce it) the following are the Force Home averages so far:

    2006: 28,424
    2007: 27,730
    History: 28,109

    An accurate Canes figure and the Blues match should help to lift the '07 figure however have to remember that '06 has the 37k inaugural match to boost its average.

    Highest ever: Brumbies '06- 37,037
    Second highest: Highlanders '07- 30,704
    Lowest ever: Bulls '06-23,392
    Lowest 2007: Lions- 25,523

    Really shows up how important that 1 point loss to the Highlanders may have been in this regard, going from second highest ever to third lowest ever in 22 days.

    Also, breaking it down further to Opposition Nationality:

    v Australia: 29,733
    v New Zealand: 29,543
    v South Africa: 25,456

    However the Australian figure is inflated with inaugural match of 37,037 as the average against the Reds and Waratahs is just over 26k.
    This will average out over the years I guess.
    The lowest New Zealand match being the estimated 28k for the Hurricanes.

    From what I've heard, in years that the 'Tahs remember how to pass and catch...

    average 25k for Saffa opposition
    average 30k for Kiwi opposition
    average 35k for Aussie opposition

    then we pull out 22k for the Reds last week (37k last year)

    Brumbies was always going to be the highest being the firstest .. while it might help our average it should be noted as a bit of a one off!!
