2006 // Crowd Watch

[LESStar58]

Please note the Melbourne Storm have reported that a malfunctioning turnstile meant that the crowd figure issued on Friday night was not correct. The figure will be revised upwards and media will be advised of the correction as soon as possible (probably tomorrow).

Does this mean we cheated and fudged the figure or was Friday night's crowd HIGHER?

Higher.

It means that the crowd we got on Friday night was larger than what was reported. Which was of no surprise to me. At kickoff I looked around and comparing it to previous crowds I thought we had at least 13k, my actual estimate later in the game was 13.5k

Great crowds this round! Hopefully it keeps going for the rest of the year. Next week Eels vs Manly could sell out i think

I'll take your word for it andy... and those that were actually there...

I coldn't make it that night due to other commitments bt to me there always seems to be more than reported every week!

A good round, keeps the crowds dropping below the 15K mark at least for another week.

Hopefully we can get an extra 2K or more from the Storm crowd to help raise their crowd average a bit more.

Next week is a bit of a fearful week. Sharks v Knights has the potential to be either 9K or 17K. Panthers v Warriors...well the Penrith fans haven't turned out at all this year, I can't see them breaking their average of 12K so far this year.

Rabbitohs v Raiders, well the Rabbitohs have been playing competitive football... the Raiders are pushing for the 8, can't see it being more than 8K unfortunately.

Eels v Sea Eagles, Eels on the verge of the 8, Manly just in it, surely the Parra faithful have to turn out in force for this game, hopefully 16K.

Dragons v Storm at Oki will be 18K no doubt. Roosters v Cowboys....hopefully the Roosters can keep it above 8K.

Broncos v Wests Tigers will be the saviour of the round with around 25K.

 

[LESStar58]

When are the Storm playing NZ Warriors? That game should get around 13-14K IMO!

Round 24.

 

[raiders fan forever]

good crowd for canberra and a good win at the same time

 

[Mr Saab]

The final 6 weeks should see an avg of 17-18k a game

 

[Brutus]

I was hoping for about 17k in Canberra today.

[Angry_eel]

parra manly might sell out who knows. Manly fans would like to see parra's hopes dashed and we'd like to see them being whooped at parra.

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

6k is pathetic for a roosters game.
