Crowd figure for Sydney v Cairns?

Where does the 2000 number come from? No way it was anywhere near that.

Could have been more considering it was a Saturday night. They would probably be a bit disappointed with that turnout for round 1 after all the hype, but 5500 is a solid crowd in the NBL.

Townsville however are in much bigger trouble. You can compare populations between Townsville and Sydney and say that only 2500 more people went to the the Sydney game, but the truth is Townsville only have their local support to really justify them being in the league.

They don't offer much value for the league's commercial interests, are in a very small market and it clearly looks like the town has deserted them. If they can get 3500-4000 a game like they should (like Cairns do), then they're a decent success for the league (like Cairns). But their paltry support would at least be be justified if they were based in a key market like Brisbane or Sydney. They really need their fans to show up.

Where can crowd figures be found consistently? Game reports don't mention them half the time.
