The Game 2023 Crowd Watch

[The Penguin #6.]

Australian but 90% of them don't know a single word of English lol

And that`s exactly the sort of attitude that makes them feel unwelcome at our game. BTW before you criticise, your English isn`t so flash as well.

I know, I never said I was perfect like you bud.

Actually I asked her where the toilet was and she said in a deep voluptuous voice ‘Honey you don’t belong here’.

See if you were better looking she would’ve just offered you a gobbie

Obviously last night's crowd for a prelim is a tad disappointing, but do not let it disregard our record breaking season for attendance. the 35k predicated earlier this week was bang on. Not sure what exactly Penrith need to do to draw bigger crowds at the bigger sydney venues though. Obviously comes down to the transport issue, but not all Penrith supporters live out west, right? Same for all Sydney teams.
If you remove all the interstate and regional 'home' games, this is each Sydney teams total H&A attendance (excluding finals):
1. Penrith - 215,321 (avg. 19,574; 11 games in Penrith)
2. Roosters - 211,352 (avg. 21,135; 10 games in Sydney)
3. Eels - 207,909 (avg. 18,900. 11 games in Parra)
4. Rabbitohs - 173,684 (avg. 19,298; 9 games in Sydney)
5. Bulldogs - 173,143 (avg. 17,314; 10 games in Sydney)
6. Dragons - 142,403 (avg. 11,866; all 12 games in Sydney/Wollongong)
7. Sea Eagles - 136,446 (avg. 13,644; 10 games in Manly)
8. Tigers - 127,403 (avg. 12,740) (10 games in Sydney)
9. Sharks - 110,895 (avg. 11,089; 10 games in Cronulla)

Total - 1,498,556 (avg. 16,113; 93 games in total played in Sydney)

I'm not that disappointed. The Storm have a tiny Sydney supporter base and neutrals don't like them. So the 35k is made up of Panthers fans, Chinese people and a dimwit called Harry.

35K for a prelim in Sydney with god knows how many discounted/2 for 1's/freebies is shithouse no matter how you look at it.

The so called Raiders fan that's attended one game all his life, great fan you're. However I've attended so far 32 games this year, and only 5 manly games. If you can beat that I'll give you fkn medal you tosser.

 

[84 Baby]

Free tickets is still too expensive to watch these shitbag teams.

You win the medal for tossing Harry.

Harry has gone all Harry again.

And and one semi dissapointing crowd Perth flog shows up again, after being unsurprisingly absent for so long.

In defence of the NRL

1 AFL is a live game, it's infinity better at the ground...they'll always have better crowds

2 Panther fans are not stupid..., they knew they were into the GF and were saving thier $$ for next week.

3 the game should have been played at Commbank, that's on the NRL to move it and shame on them that they didn't.

I think your right and wrong as AFL fans are like a mutant of a Gay f**king between a Magpie and a Blackcat or vice a versa.
Panthers are not stupid as they have packed out the ground just like 20 years ago with Soward BUT no other Sydney NRL's did not want to go unlike the AFL.
NRL tonight looked amatuer hour.

 

[Dark Corner]

CommBank holds 27k

Once sponsors get tickets you are looking at 20k fans

There is a reason it had to be Allianz or Accor

But your sunglasses and boombox on NWA

Jesus, now Teddy is off the wagon.

As opposed to the 27k that the Friday Prelim got last year?

 

[Dark Corner]

Jesus, now Teddy is off the wagon.

Just watch the 6-10 Leigh Wigan and was great atomphere but this Penrith game just was awful esp with the news saying throwing tickets around like my missus with her knickers about ...bitch

I'd expect similar crowds for any Sydney team v Storm

As I said earlier, We played Souffs last year that game drew 51k and was 50/50.

So half of that was expected

 

[moffla]

This country is allergic to people missing out. 29k at Bankwest is a better advertisement for the game than whatever last night was. All for an extra 7k people whole rode in on a free ticket.

 

[mongoose]

Look I hate afl but 97000 at the mcg rn is just absolutely incredible. Really makes you embarrassed to follow NRL

i was watching the Panthers game with some friends and someone flicked the channel over to the last few minutes of the AFL game.... just wow. It was literally 5 minutes of just fumbling...seeing 97k cheering that is just so f**king weird, like a parallel dimension

 

[horrie hastings]

Blind Freddy could have seen this game should have been played at a packed Commbank instead of a half empty Allianz.

Tonight looked embarrassing on Tv

But the game was played at Accor, not Allianz

 

[Brutus]

The crowd beat Parra v Broncos prelims from the early 2000s.
