Double headers

[Beavers Headgear]

just reading the Warriors are part of 2 double headers next season
Round 1 in Perth, and for some reason the NRL are putting on a double header at Mt Smart with the Tigers playing the Storm along with a warriors match m

Surely a better option for a double header in NZ would be in a city that doesn't see many games at all

I wonder what size crowd the NRL thinks they'll get in Auckland? 20000 perhaps? Interesting that the didn't return to Eden Park.

Yeah it's a mystery to me, would have thought Wellington or Christchurch would have drawn more punters in, not sure how big a draw card Storm v Tigers would be at Mt Smart

Last Kiwis Vs Kangaroos / England Vs PNG double header got a huge crowd (45k off the top of my head) - was a disaster due to crowd behaviour though.

I have a feeling with the lack of the Nines a double header may sell out Mt Smart.

Almost out of control..

Yeah that atmosphere about 20 mins into the Kiwis game turned pretty sour. Quite menacing

Agree. I'd get Souffs in on the deal too and pay them back by playing in Dunedin. I reckon Dunedin would get a great crowd too frankly.
