yep, usually Sydney clubs crowds range from 10-20,000 depending on which teams are playing and how they are fairing (and if its raining!). I was at SFS for a Roosters home game a couple of weeks ago, crowd was 24,000 but there was probably 11,000 Roosters fans and 13,000 Sth's fans. At last nights game there was about 9,000 Roosters fans and 2,000 Parra fans. Only Wests, Bulldogs and probably Sth's have more than an average of 10-12,000 home paying fans in Sydney.

no sydney club averages 10,000

perhaps you confused the sydney clubs with Hull KR.

the worst clubs are at around 13,000 and the best are at 18,000

I'm talking about home fans NOT club averages. The Roosters game was a perfect example of how averages can squew the reality. 24,000 will make the Roosters avg look good, reality was there was only around 10-11,000 Roosters fans at the game. Most Sydney games are made up of 10-12,000 home fans and 2-3,000 away fans when it is a Sydney team. Hence the Sydney avg of 15,000. A couple of big games a year helps mask the 10,000 and below crowds when they play out of towners.

Roosters, Penrith, Cronulla, Manly,Parra and St's (when playing in the Gong) all have around 10,000 home fans.

Wests, St's (in St George), Bulldogs, Sth's are the only clubs with a decent home fanbase approaching 15,000+

I watched the Warriors v Souths U20s game as one of our boys was playing for Souths.

Yep. It's exactly the same as Jersey Flegg was.
