2026 Crowd Watch

[drcmuch]

No Redcliffe crowd yet? The last 4 were 10,024; 10,023; 10,023; 10,023.
Might just have to take a wild stab in the dark for a temp number in the spreadsheet.

Thursday night next week might see a pretty low crowd. Why would you bother turning up if you're a Dogs fan?

 

[Sky_Is_The_Limit]

The Easter Show continues through the week, and it's school holidays, so the crowd on Thursday night for the Bulldogs vs Panthers should get a boost from both of those facts.

Why would you bother turning up if you're a Dogs fan?

To support your team? What sort of fan only shows up when they are favoured to win?

Vs when they're expecting to lose?

Kind of why comparing nrl ticket prices to concerts or cinema is bit of a furphy. If you knew a band or movie was going to be sht would you pay $50-80 to go watch it? Watching your team lose is generally sht. Of course in sport there always that chance your team comes up with a miracle but it’s rare in RL. I guess the more entertaining the game day event is, regardless of score, can help mitigate that?

The crowd expectations placed on a relocated Panthers are usually unfair but they still surpass them anyway. Maybe the new stadium in Penrith should have been 40k.

Collingwood has over 100 years of history behind it. The Dolphins are a new club in the NRL and need to represent a larger area than just Redcliffe. They are supposed to be the second Brisbane team, at least what's what I keep getting told.

Redcliffe District RLFC were founded in 1947 and were a first grade club before Penrith and Cronulla were lol. They're older than half the current NRL teams

Wonder if next year you could add an Easter Saturday game to Accor to get some overflow from Easter show?
Panthers vs Wahs?

its a shame Easter Monday's Eels Tigers is such a tradition. Splitting that and having Wests play at Accor on Saturday or Sunday could be another big 'event'.

Then again, the NRL was happy to break the Storm Warriors ANZAC Day tradition so it's not impossible

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Gc - sold out
New - sold out
Parra - sold out

I think any suggestion that the Tigers start taking games back to Accor needs to be considered in the context of their new stadium strategy:
- $50 million upgrade at Campbelltown to increase capacity to 20,000 and improve corporate facilities
- $50 million upgrade at Leichhardt to increase capacity to 20,000 and improve corporate facilities
- 15 year agreement to play games at Campbelltown and Leichhardt (if this agreement commenced in 2025, that takes us through to 2040).

New - sold out
Parra - sold out

Not sure Parramatta is sold out just yet, but it's close

Can’t work out why another team doesn’t try a hosting at Accor today, long weekend, Easter show
Definitely something to build on

Realistically what 2 other sydney clubs would work? Unless you split Tigers and Parra up, but I feel like they’ve built a decent rivalry so I doubt it

 

[parrawentyfan]

In an ambitious world we'd aim for an Accor game across much of the Easter show and embed it as part of the event with ticketing embedded into the show ticket. Almost like a Sydney version of Magic weekend (without depriving non Sydney teams of home games of course).

 

[Steel Saints]

In the inaugural Easter Monday game between the Tigers and Eels, it was played at Accor where 50k attended. So it doesn't need to be played at Commbank every year. . Both clubs could alternate. One year at Commbank, the next year at Accor. Both sides meet again at Commbank in round 22!

I was clearly talking about them being a new team in the NRL. I'm quite aware there is history outside of that.

What we shouldn't want is a suburban team as the 2nd Brisbane team. It needs to aim bigger than that, especially if we aren't adding anymore NRL teams in Brisbane.

 

[BlueandGold]

This idea that Parra has to move its home game out of the 30k best stadium in Sydney to please other clubs fans is lunacy.

Giving away our home advantage.

f**k no.

Accor is rubbish.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Would be surprised if Kogarah cracks 10k today

If that's the case I wonder if we split the teams so both the Dogs and Bunnies get a home game against the Eels and Tigers. We simply need more games at Accor on this weekend. If we don't then watch GWS take the Monday slot in the future and reap the rewards from it.

Friday - Dogs vs Eels.

Monday - Bunnies vs Tigers.
