2016 Crowd Watch

[beave]

they were talking up a sell out through the week. wonder what happened
I have honestly no idea what the real capacity is, and what the real record is because theres no effing way we got 22k to that venue.
so now that we aren't just picking the figures out of a hat....

I went to Sharkies Titans a few weeks ago. I think the crowd was roughly 11-12k from memory. I looked up the records for Shark park and the 22k you speak of, I looked around and thought 'f**k knows how you could fit another 10k in here'.

I think that record may have been a little inflated, I'm not stadium expert by any means, but IMO i reckon if you packed the joint out safely, I reckon 18k would be its limit.

I would've been at any ground record at shark park.
Those sell out crowds just squash in more on the hills etc.

one against the dogs in the 90's (if heads were really counted) would be the record IMO.
You couldn't move.
If it hailed people would've been trampled to death.
There was still plenty of room yesterday.

I was at the ground record and it was definitely far more than yesterday (as in number not fudged). The old South end was another hill and you can pack far more onto a hill than in the new seating, we were squashed like sardines and could barely see a thing so it wasnt comfy but was definitely a monster crowd for the game.

If I recall it was 99 when sharks and dragons both going well so many dragons fans packed in to help.

Not sure what current capacity would be but everyone has to stand on the hill (on the north side) when the crowd gets up toward 18-20, not much room for blankets and sitting.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

yeah the capacity is less now that the porter stand is there

anyway. good crowds. loud and vocal.
up up

 

[beave]

Yeah, that's right, I forgot about the old southern hill.

 

[Frank Discussion]

Ever since Ticketek took over the Sharks ticketing a couple of years ago the announced crowds are "correct". For years the announced figures were hyper inflated. The ground capacity is 18,000.

 

[chahrour123]

Anyone know the PAX for any rep matches this week?

 

[Burns]

Expected crowd tonight is in the high 20,000. Sell out unlikely unless strong walk up.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

If we can get close the figure of the last test there it'll be good.

 

[chahrour123]

Crowd of around 25-27k expected.

That was 32K
Won't get that ....

Although it was a Sunday arvo.
Might have cracked 30K if this test was played on Sunday instead of tonight.

GA ends are sold out and looks to be around 1000ish seats left

 

[Card Shark]

It'll be close to full house

Great for the game!

yup same as campbo and leichardt

tigers old CEO heavily implied that in a fans meeting a couple years ago. grant mayer

Cowboys Broncos in Tvl next week officially announced as a sell out.

 

[beave]

Correction, 2 weeks time.

Apologies but I don't have an edit button on my account anymore for some reason.

 

[chahrour123]

Seriously if this crowd doesn't get a close to 30k i'd be shocked!. Massive crowd

I was there and it set the new ground record,over 33,000, looking at tonight's game there's a few spare seats but should be close to 30k just depends on how many vacant seats in the upper Andrew Johns stand.

 

[Foreign Legion]

27,742

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Isnt the capacity 33k? Not sure where they would fit.
