2006 // Crowd Watch

[miccle]

in all honesty the bunnies r running last with a piss poor team who only there true die hard fans care about.
the one team who has really been disappointing with there crowds are the broncos 23000, is a good crowd in sydney but in a 1 city team where rugby league rules its pretty pathetic. whats wrong with there fans do the brisbane public really hate the broncos that much?

I think a lot of it had to do with the opposition that day. No offence to Raiders fans, but there aren't as many supporters of them here compared to other clubs. The few did stand out and make a lot of noise though! Add to that the fact that quite a few people didn't attend simply because they didn't think it would be a high-quality affair.

Ditto with the week before - drawing 27,000 odd against Penrith wasn't great, but add that to many people having long weekends and the lions and reds already playing in the two days prior, and it makes sense.

Look for great crowds against the likes of the Bulldogs et al. later this year. I'm still confident of a 30K average.

Bulldogs game @ Brisbane consistently draws 40k+

Hoping for the same in a month.

It will almost definitely be a 40K+ crowd at that match, and it's disappointing that we will be fielding a weak team due to SOO.

Always get great crowds for Bulldogs and usually Parra games up here - there are heaps of supporters from both teams living up here, and quite a few that travel as well. The amount of support, in my opinion, has a lot to do with how successful both teams were in the NSWRL for the ten years before Brisbane entered the comp. A lot of people were fans of either Parra or the Dogs and have kept that up.

There are pretty much 20,000 Broncos fans at nearly all matches (would've only been 17-18K against the Raiders on the weekend) and seriously the crowds are very much 50/50 when we play the dogs.

Round 9:

16,808 @ Townsville
8,083 @ Telstra
10,146 @ Parramatta

 

[LeagueXIII]

Crowds down 52,000 on last year, hopefully big crowds tomorrow.

 

[Jono Russell]

sharks should get 19 - 20k easily

 

[phonetic]

21k at Shark Park
25k at Marathon
19k at SFS
20k at Leichardt

 

[Timmah]

8083? At Telstra?

I will bet the Bulldogs/Parra crowd next Sunday will at least double that. The Bulldogs Knights crowd three weeks after that will also do the same.

Souths are a disgrace when it comes to support.

The side opposite of the TV wide-angle view is where the majority sit (seriously, not being sarcastic there).

 

[chunk]

Considering the Bunnies haven't won a game this year I'd think they would be pretty happy with that crowd.

Parra only got an extra 2000, thats dissapointing.

 

[Earl]

And the bunnies never got booed off :lol:

Souths are a disgrace when it comes to support.

Get farked, I would really like to see any other team lose 8 in a row, then play the form team in the comp who are almost certain to beat us, who don't bring any away support on a cold Saturday night and pull over 8000.

 

[brendothejet]

Brisbane would. Saints would. Canterbury would.

Souths are sh*t. face it now.

Didnt the Knights last year lose a fair few in a row and still attracted great support - I agree Souths crowds are pathetic, where is the 500,000 that marched to get them back in - vanished now.
