2006 // Crowd Watch

[Timmah]

Tickets are still available for Friday... but I think they'll go quickly. Only shocking whether ala the Eels game will keep this game from selling out.

 

[Ice777]

I don't think there's any real excuse for that one not being a sellout especially if capacity is only 20,000. It's going to be an absolute cracking game and not even the rain should stop them coming in their droves. That's what umbrealla's, coats, poncho's etc are for ;-)

 

[pcpp]

Dragons v Bulldogs - 18,223 - ground record
Warriors v Eels - 14,499 - much, much improved from the Warriors
Souths v Manly - 7,509 - :|
Panthers v Cowboys - 8,212 - terrible

Total - 48,443
Average - 12,111

 

[JW]

I couldn't believe that Warriors crowd when I saw it. I was thinking 10,000 maximum prior to the game.

 

[nqboy]

Good on the Warriors. Most of the increase was probably down to a Golden Oldies game played beforehand. It's a shame, crowdwise, they didn't win. That would have got a few more fans there for the cnext round as hopes rose for a charge at an unlikely finals spot.

 

[*Paul*]

9,125 in Canberra, didn't look like it though.

 

[ledzep]

9,241 at Aussie

 

[Ice777]

...

 

[Brutus]

Pathetic crowds by the Roosters and Raiders.

 

[Ice777]

21,655 Knights v Storm.

The Storm have been involved in the 2 highest crowds in the last 2 weeks. You wouldn't read about it ;-)

 

[JW]

Might be a little bit better next week.

15,000 @ Telstra
15,000 @ EAS
21,000 @ Dairy Farmers
14,000 @ Telstra

[*Paul*]

11,486 in Melbourne.

 

[Timmah]

Good but below expectation. I'll be upset if we can't raise that tomorrow at Telstra.

With games at EAS and Dairy Farmers at 7:30, we should have a decent average come 9:30pm.

 

[Surandy]

11,486 in Melbourne.

I am not sure how they got the figure for the game as the turnstiles weren't working when I went in just after 6:30pm.

It looked to me that it was over 13k.

 

[meltiger]

Good but below expectation.

Not really ... Don't use the Bronco's game as an example, 5k were Brisbane supporters down for Origin.


11k last night was sensational given how f**king cold it was at Olympic Park. The crowds are starting to rise, the Home Semi will sell out.

I actually thought the same thing Surandy, I sent a couple of people a message just after kick off saying I was revising my estimate up form just over 10k to having easilly broken it - Alot of people packed in just before the game started.

Not sure what gate you went in but I went in the Western Gate abut 10 mins before kick off and they were manually ripping tickets still at that point.

I went in the western gate. Went to scan my membership card and was told to just go through.

 

[Ice777]

Yep same here. Went to the Western gate as usual and was told the same thing and just walked through.
