2019 Crowd Watch

[Stallion]

Very good crowd for the women's state game at North Sydney Oval . Well above last year's attendance. Great to see!

Were these paying customers? What is the better result 50k freebies in AFL or 10K willing to pay to see?

$10 for entry was a good price. All kids under 15 were free entry. I suggest the crowd posted was a paying crowd and the freebies were not counted. The crowd looked much larger than 10500. If a union grandfinal can achieve 15000 or 16000 at this ground then the womens state rugby league game has attracted a similar number.

Crowd looked a lot more
than 10500, been there in the early 90’s when the Bears were a top side and getting decent crowds it looked more like 13-14k to me

Yeah, felt about 12-13k.

Why wouldn’t they count everyone?

 

[Suitman]

Why wouldn’t they count everyone?

Yep.
Everyone who walks through the gate gets counted.

 

[Stallion]

Yep.
Everyone who walks through the gate gets counted.

Certainly looked more than 10500! That ground has had 15000 plus for a local union grandfinal in recent years.

 

[Disinterested third party]

That was at least 13,000 at NSO.

I know of girls touch footy sides training in North Sydney last night then going to the game.
For free

Yeh, and?

 

[carcharias]

Yeh, and?

...and they went in and watched the game...then went home???

 

[Suitman]

...and they went in and watched the game...then went home???

What I meant was, are you suggesting that because they went for free, they weren't counted in the attendance figure?

No
They were counted for sure
Why wouldn’t they be?

People were asking if all those people paid for tickets.

These girls I know are in a rep side
They all got free tix.
I suppose the other rep sides also got free tix.
That is all.

Ok, no probs.

Great crowd. Play it at Eden Park next time.

 

[Stallion]

10 or 11000 at Leichhardt tonight? A fair atmosphere. Wonder what the Cook Islands would have drawn instead of PNG or a Lebanon?

Less considering they’ve got the population of a suburb.

Why was this moved to Leichhardt? It worked so well at Campbelltown and always had a good atmosphere. Granted it was always going to have less fans this year with Tonga playing in NZ but it looks and sounds very poor compared to the couple I have been to.
