2019 Crowd Watch

[Warriors Fever]

Got my tickets and I’m pumped. Haven’t been this pumped for a match in a few years. I don’t know if this poster is serious he occasionally says something intelligent but he’s off his meds or trolling at god level tier. I wish he ran the afl with these ‘ideas’

 

[taipan]

Each player should smoke a pack of cigs in the warm up before the GF

Don't know about the players smoking, but one or two here, have been smoking the funny stuff, with some of their suggestions re the Raiders playing ground.

Confirmed sell out for Canberra

So I'm going to be very optimistic here and predict that both the Roosters and Raiders come out of this weekend as our Grand Finalist. As per usual, we'll have our bandwagoners attending, so we should have the same amount of fans attend the GF as last year. Raiders will most likely organise buses etc but how many fans from Canberra will attend? I suspect some neutrals may attend (that haven't already purchased tickets) to watch the Raiders potentially win a GF. But given we (the Roosters) don't have the largest fanbase in RL, I don't think it will be a sell out GF. Maybe a little larger crowd than last year.

In another situation, if both the Roosters and Rabbits win this weekend, then I suspect the GF will sell out due to the rivalry within half a week.

There would be less roosters fans than last year because there would be a tonne more raiders fans than storm.

We dominated that crowd last year comprehensively.

If the raiders make the GF, raiders fans will go in Friday night and buy a shitload of GF tickets

 

[Quicksilver]

Re: Grand final.

If Raiders make it they’ll bring a decent crowd because it’s been a while.

Souths have a decent supporter base but they probably won’t be confident of a win.

Roosters should bring whatever they usually bring,

Melbourne- just another year of whatever

F*ck yes!!!

This is why i want to see the ARLC shorten the NRL regular season. We had 26round of clubs and fans going through the motions. Its not until the event games that it turns up a notch.

Shorten the season, make each game more important and aim for this at least every few weeks

What does the length of a season have to do with Canberra hosting a preliminary final?

If the season was 15 weeks long, and Canberra were hosting Souths in the regular season, there'd be 9-10k at the game.

You said yourself, people turn up to watch event games. Event games are mostly during the finals, not the regular season. Shortening the season all of a sudden won't turn each game into an event. It'll just shorten the season with no guarantee of an uptick in crowds.

In any case, they're not going to shorten the season because the money mostly comes from broadcasters. So the discussion is about as useful as talking about the introduction of a 2nd ball from the 57th minute onward.

 

[skeepe]

what is going on in this thread

we have a sold out game. Get keen

And how have the Daily Astonisher chosen to celebrate this? With the headline “Scalpers set to cash in on record Raiders sellout”

Trying to turn what should be a massive positive for the game into a negative story. Just f**k right off you parasites.

Based on what exactly? We had 16,965 there for Canberra vs Souths just this year.

And we had a 24 game season.

So, as I was saying, Canberra's sellout is the outcome of a good season, and that it's hosting a prelim. It has nothing to do with the amount of rounds in a season. And shortening the season isn't going to turn every Raiders game in a 20k crowd as Hello seems to think.

If you shortened it enough it would. Probably.

So what are the odds of a decent crowd at the NSW Cup GF on Sunday?
- No competing NRL
- First at Bankwest
- Close to Wenty
- Eels already eliminated
- Strongly supported Jets

They should be putting a call out to all Eels fans and those Jets fans that attended the record game at Henson earlier in the year.

How good would it be to one day have a GF Day like the SAFL for instance.

 

[Twizzle]

There are NRL players playing for Wenty in the GF, for the last time.

Coupe of thousands tops. The lack of attention the NSW Cup gets is always a mystery to me.

 

[NK Arsenal]

What kind of crowd is expected for Easts v Storm? Will it be more/less than Canberra v Souths?

 

[siv]

26,000 in a Canberra full house.

Or

35,000 at ANZ with 50,000 empty seats.

Some f**king people.

More like 23k temp stands not installed this year

Verses

45-50k
