2006 // Crowd Watch

[Ice777]

While i was at the game i thought there was more than what was announced. But lets not forget it wasn't 13k which most are saying, it was 13,991 witch is only a touch off 14k which is 1k more than 13k ;-)

17k at least next week

why cant the crowds always be like this though :?

 

[ledzep]

the a-league got 39,730 to their game in melbourne tonight .

yeah, that's why i said the a-league crowd last week

I was waiting for announcment of 17,000 for Melbourne.

 

[ali]

The Sharks crowd was definately inflated. Looked more like 7500 to me and I'm usually a pretty good judge. Thank f**k it was a lovely day, otherwise it may have only been 5000 or 6000.

 

[Brutus]

The Storm gave unders on their crowd.

For what reason, I do not know. It was at least 15k, I was thinking 17k.

 

[JW]

47,193 in Brisbane. Biggest for the season and I believe they have now comfortably passed last years average of 30,300 odd.

 

[Brutus]

Great crowd in Brissy.

They love their Webcke.

 

[Brutus]

So the Broncos finish with an average of 31,207.

 

[scottyeel]

That's a great crowd in Brisbane. Well done.
Should be sold out if they get a final next week.

Imho, based on their population and popularity, Brisbane should be averaging what they got today.

 

[JW]

An old argument which the Broncos can't win either way. The people who say Brisbane should be averageing 3 or 4 times higher than the rest of the comp are usually the same who also bring up the theory that the vast majority of Brisbanites hate the Broncos.

I think they'll be quite content with two years in a row of 30,000+ averages to be honest. That's about 4-5 straight years of growth from the 20,000 mark where they were stitting steady for much of the late 90's/early 00's.

Regardless of what people feel the team 'should' be averaging, that alone is alot more than many other clubs have to show for.

People don't realise how important a brisbane home semi is. We get 50,000 to a semi, whereas no other team, unless you play out of Telstra, would get anywhere near that figure. It is the best thing for league that brisbane got a home semi.

The recent home semi's against Melbourne have been dissapointing by Brisbane's standards to say the least.

However, it should be a different story this year.

I'd give up 30k people attending a game in Brisbane in exchange for a Manly home semi. It's a silly comment, really.

Brisbane-Dragons with Webcke's final game at home, will get a bigger crowd than Bris-Melbourne on any day of the week.

Both performance and attendance wise, iirc.

Brisbane has a history of poor finals crowds.

If I recall the premiership match against the Storm last year attracted about 7k more than the semi final.

The Saturday night timeslot is not the best for big crowds in Brisbane.

 

[lockyno1]

Can't see that being the case this week. They got 47K to a Warriors game this week. Next week should be a bare minimum of 50K for a finals match and for Webcke's last home game.

18k at Leichhardt - 18,404?
