2025 Crowd Watch

[eels4lifee]

Whatever the biggest crowd was in super rugby the sharks beat it by 67.

I'll bet 67 on that one for sure

Yes I’ve bagged the crowds and stadium at kogorah and suggested that the dragons permanently move to Wollongong as well as play 2 games ”home” games at Allianz.

Rarely I would suggest. Leichhardt oval ? The Dogs are the ones who can hold their heads up high re crowds in N.S.W.

So under 10k at Canberra (in 3rd spot)with a far bigger capacity. stadium and the Sharks get bagged for 11-12K with limited temporary capacity.
I rest my case.

 

[Jonty]

That’s a shockingly low and disappointing crowd at Canberra.

 

[user_nat]

That's an awful Canberra crowd after all the hype around their resurgence last round.

 

[taipan]

That’s a shockingly low and disappointing crowd at Canberra.

But, but, the club is 3rd on the ladder ,much less than half capacity. They had a much bigger crowd a week or so ago.
The stadium not up to scratch ? The continual bagging of clubs on crowds achieves little.
Because the modern stadiums are financed by Govt and until they step in (like they promised and reneged ) improvements are going to take time.

Canberra copped it last week for choking but really they only lost by 12 to the runaway comp leader. Coming 3rd, Sunday arvo, cold but sunny day, that’s a shit crowd.

Although the crowd was shocking I’ll cut the raiders some slack because of the opposition and the last home game attracted a crowd approaching 24k.

when was the last time the sharks had a crowd approaching 24k or even 20k?

 

[Jonty]

Embarrassingly for the raiders the brumbies got a bigger crowd!!!

 

[yakstorm]

The Raiders did very little to promote today's game. You compare it with the effort they put behind the Phins and Bulldogs matches, and the result isn't surprising. Titans are never going to be a high drawing opponent for the Raiders, even if they're coming first. Perfect opportunity for the club to do something different, make it family day and drastically cut family tickets, do some big community activity or really anything.

The one thing so many of our clubs forget, is not all games are perceived as equal in value. Getting fans to pay $35 - $60 for a top of the table clash is an easy sell, but they won't pay the same for 3rd v 17th when for the same amount (or less) they can take up another entertainment option.

Broncos, Dolphins and Fitzroy all played in Brisbane this weekend.

Broncos 38k
Dolphins 32k
Lions 30k

Lock in Ipswich for 2033

 

[malleekid]

Think I heard over the loud speaker either 11,110 or 11,102 at Campbeltown.

 

[ouwet]

Raiders cannot play a team every home game who take around 8-10,000 supporters like the Dogs did.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Very weird result for raiders

Nrl really should focus on trying to maintain the 2 week gap for home games ..

 

[Perth Red]

The gap between the highs and lows of nrl crowds is still way too high. Clubs are lazy, or lack marketing ability/ideas, some venues are still way under par and the nrl isnt helping by taking no leadership on the issue. It’s a good job we have a handful of clubs, and the odd games, that really boost the overall avg. there’ll always be some clubs better supported than others, nature of the beast, but those bottom fanbase clubs need to work harder.

Congrats on the Perth club mate. The long wait is finally over and a poor decision finally corrected. Perth has tremendous potential to add to the NRL on every level; crowds, player base, tv ratings and financially.

In time the stadium as well.

hopefully the Perth bears model will be a huge success and force the NRL officials to seriously look at a similar setup for the sharks and Adelaide.

then the NRL will truly be a national competition with Christchurch/South Island coming in as team #20.

We contacted Wests Tigers to confirm the crowd last night is 11,110
