NRL - Cant find official club records but
read this in article in late 2005
"Season average crowds have never broken the 15,000 barrier - the record season average is 14,671 set last year - but the 16,000 mark is likely to be breached in 2005."
http://www.smh.com.au/news/league/record...
The lowest AFL club averages almost 30,000 and the NRL is only about 16,000.
