Crowd Watch 2014 part 2

[DC_fan]

We are about to see an NRL crowds record broken tonight or tomorrow in the early game.

We need just another 16,498 fans to attend games this weekend to break the record for best attendance figures over a two week period.

Last season rounds six and seven drew a total of 324,481 fans and that is the record. Last weeks round drew 169,408. Which meant we needed to draw 155,074 fans this weekend to beat the record. So far in five games we have pulled 138,576 fans through the gate.

So there we go, the game supposedly in crisis is about to break attendance record

It will have to be tomorrow then.

It will have to be tomorrow then.

Yes it won't & no it will

 

[pHyR3]

won't just beat it, it'll absolutely smash it by 20-30k at least.

 

[duylm]

will brookie get above 15k? sunday arvo, but not the biggest drawing team.

It will look like a sellout with no room to move on the hill, but then only be 14k.

 

[kkingston]

That wasn't on a clear afternoon.

They said on Triple M less than an hour before the game that it was likely to rain sometime during the match. Yes it didn't rain but it wasn't ideal conditions for a big crowd

2 week periods are statistical noise. Especially when fixtures vary dramatically. A meaningless record.

What would be a meaningful record is a record over an entire season.

agreed, but it will go a long way in achieving that record. Especially if we can carry some of this momentum in to the few rounds left before SOO and get a nice 22k+ average for R26 we should be able to beat last year.

The problem is that next week we do not have any NRL games being played. The weekend will be taken up by a test match that doesn't appear to be drawing much fan interest and the most useless game on the league calendar, City verses Country.

We really needed NRL games to be played next week to keep the momentum going with crowds.

BM you are right. But it's a feel good story. In a season where we have had continuing stories about the drop in crowd figures, here we have a positive one.

I would hope the media go with it.

I tend to agree. i love international footy but I feel this year it is coming at a bad time with the comp having a lot of momentum. The only way to do the rep round is have more fixtures in it so it doeant feel so empty. Currently its 3 but If they had say 5 or 6 it would fill the weekend nicely and contribute to the momentum.

Friday kangaroos v kiwis
Saturday 2 pacific tests double header somewhere
Sunday city country

15,286 @ anz

Hmm.

 

[hineyrulz]

Where are all these so called Dogs fans????

On top of the ladder and looking at 5 straight, terrible crowd.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Last year was the worst origin period right?

This one shouldn't be as bad (hopefully), 2 games in Brisbane.

I dare say there were a couple of thousand at Parramatta last night...

 

[Flapper]

Which would make them Wanderers fans. ;-)

Easier to act like a f**kwit at the soccer i suppose.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Roar expecting 27,000 - 32,000 today.

Lucky there is no league for a while, Suncorp will be trashed.

That has to be the worst excuse I have ever read.

 

[Dogs Of War]

How about stuff all knights supporters were at the ground, and even my local pub which is usually pumping was quiet as I think most people had a huge day on Friday and decided to have a quiet one on the Saturday.

Knights v dogs crowds are usually around this mark anyhow unless both are playing out of there skins.

 

[BlueandGold]

My guess 41k for today.

I hope 14k for Sharks, 13k for Cowboys, 17k for Dogs considering the form they are in.

Realistically 41k

Hopefully 44k+

Damm i am on fire with my crowd predictions of late...

41k for the Saturday as predicted. 15k for dogs is to be expected, but seeing as they are in top form it is sort of a fail now that i think about it.

Actually up against the WSW finals game it would have hurt Bulldogs crowd by i would say 1k minimum.

I change my mind again lol good crowd.
