Ugh... that isn't a great start to the World Cup.

I was expecting 15K at least

 

[Radioactive Man]

Well ..lets hope there is no sub 10 K crowds. Anyone France V Scotland tomorrow ? PAX ?

 

[mikdalton]

I think Stormchasers been proved somewhat right.

The PAX for this game was 11700 on Thursday.

*sigh* This shows that the PAX is a lie.

 

[mikdalton]

I think it shows that as some of us thought they are a ballpark figure but they are being effected by things like the Rebel sports free tickets and things like that.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

that number looks very generous... I have never seen Dairy Farmers that empty, would be interesting to know NQ lowest ever crowd there..

 

[jc155776]

Heaps of free tickets given out tonight as well.....

 

[ali]

It was a good match. Shame on the stay home North Queenslanders.

 

[S.S.T.I.D]

That is disappointing. As someone else mentioned, I've never seen Dairy Farmers so empty. Shame.

 

[Angry_eel]

don't worry, there will be a worse crowd at Parra.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

I was expecting a decent crowd too, considering Townsville's huge support up there and it wasn't live. But I'd say with PNG's great effort in this game, we can expect a much bigger crowd at Skilled Park.

Dont know what theyre expecting for tommorow's game down in Canberra. Anything around 10,000 is decent.

 

[miguel de cervantes]

Given the crowds that turned up to watch 3 nothing games in the 2003 union world cup at the same venue, at the same time of year in the same weather (~avg 19,000) I am asking myself some questions.

 

[jc155776]

Tickets were f**king expensive as well though.

Talking 40 odd bucks for category b!!

More than 10k there. Sporting Life have 25k!

 

[jc155776]

Mate I was there.

Lucky to be 10k to be honest...

At the league or the union? If union, what do you think, as a Townsville resident, was the explaination for the difference in crowds? The prestige of the tournament, admitting that the union version has more prestige at present compared to the league version? Japanese toursists, seeing the three union games featured Japan?


No way in hell were there 25k.

It wasn't directed at me, I know, but Union typically blow us off the park in promotion. I think they also have a system that you have to buy tickets for the low key matches to get access to the higher profile ones - I may be wrong on that though.

 

[jc155776]

I am talking Rugby league prices, way to expensive.

As well as that, NO PROMOTION AT ALL.

I am talking NOTHING.

I am a league die hard so I went.

Yeah agreed. While the games themselves might've been boring but they way the ARU promoted the RUWC was top notch. In saying that everything seemed to fall into place for them at the time and there's no way they'd be able to pull off a success like that again anytime soon.
