2007 Crowd Watch

[Schillaci]

Those crowds really are disgraceful.

 

[Timmah]

And yet still offer more than an average A League round, go figure :lol:

 

[Schillaci]

errrrm no it isn't. :?

 

[Timmah]

A-League Round 10 (06/07 Season):
@NZ 2357
@Newc 10895
@QLD 13727
@Syd 12316

TOTAL: 39,295
AVERAGE: 9,824

Erm.... yes it is ;-)

 

[Misanthrope]

Why'd you pick that round?

I'm not trying to argue that the A-League has or ever will outdraw the NRL on a consistent basis, but as it stands, this week's NRL round is behind the A-League season average of 12,927 as seen here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-League_06-07

 

[Timmah]

At random. Proved him wrong.

Why'd he pick this round to hassle crowds? He's got no leg to stand on with any other round this year excluding the June long weekend.

 

[Timmah]

As it stands, our season average is thousands higher than theirs. Incomparable comparing a single week to an entire season.

15,721 isn't that bad, we need to get into the 16's to avoid embarrasment. 17's for a record?

 

[Timmah]

Very little chance if this weather keeps up on weekends where Sydney is packed with Games...

This weekend:

Friday @ Auckland & Brookvale
Saturday @ Canberra, Aussie and GC
Sunday @ Telstra & Melbourne
Monday @ Brisbane

Hopefully a few bigger figures for out of area games... and I hope Manly v Dogs is packed regardless of weather.

 

[lockyno1]

MNF should get 35-40K

 

[JW]

MNF should get 35-40K

You reckon? I hope so, should save the round if it does. On the other hand, I wouldn't be at all surprised if the crowd ended up being only 25K give/take as MNF is currently untried in Brisbane.

 

[lockyno1]

Tigers are well supported, brisbane coming off a win with a chance to get in the 8, it SHOULD get 35K, and I am considering going up for it as well.

 

[Timmah]

Gonna fly LockyAir? :sarcasm:

 

[lockyno1]

Nope Dodge, just flying up for the match. Should be a cracker! I hope Joel Moon is back this week.

 

[Dakink]

Dont get lost on the way back - that would be terrible.

The right of reply

Concerning my ejection form this forum last week I would like to state my case as I was not allowed to last week publicly

(1) the story I posted was deleted for the reason that my story was somehow untrue .i gave my source as sky news obviously the moderator failed to check this before acting . as it was directly supported by the tele 5/3/007 pages 2 ANTI TERROR UNIT,,,,”

(2) to this end the judgement and impartiality of Diablo must be questioned. the said moderator deleted the post without any notification. then proceeded to delete other posts.Asking why? While saying nothing .if this is moderators “BEST PRACTICE” then say so and we can all leave this place to the thumpers

(3) there was clamed to be a plethora of notification .this is untrue .i received
messages. email notification basically only saying “you got a private messages” most
of these Messages were in reply to me asking first if I was visible then asking who
was deleting my posts. 4 or 5 Hours later Diablo finally mailed that he was the
coward deleting posts without notification

(4)as I was finding every thing I said being deleted by the alleged coward I proceeded to
post sarcastic comments at the end of posts with the intention of pissing off the said
coward .but as there is a time component in the site that interrupts this a flooding it
boot my arse as a consequence

(5) at the time I was truly ropable. I had returned from watching parra choke .and in fine
Spirts, Was looking forward to a little word play. had the alleged coward reported his
dubious deeds I would have acknowledged it and moved on but as he neither did this
nor indicated that he was deleting posts .i keep asking to the point where I called the
alleged coward a “gutless c” .i don’t retract this .and say to the shrieking princesses.
buy a box of tissues .
in the words of john singleton “people who don’t use words like f & c shouldn’t
be playing rugby league”(here here) and as this is still and RL I’ll live with that


(6) the agenda now is Diablo should come forward and give reason why he act so ineptly.
Was he goaded into doing this by a third party ?did he act alone in so should surrender
his moderating privileges as this is clearly beyond his capabilities


Just quietly


Jilliby kitty


To willow and dud-blow

Why don’t you stand up you cowards .you read this all the time .you defend the people who post genocide threads yet have banned me for telling the truth .yet have never given a reason expect that your weak liars .I will have my day rest assured.

MNF should get 35-40K

Looking very unlikely.

THE biggest-drawing club in the NRL is concerned its first taste of Monday Night Footy could bomb badly as Broncos fans have been slow to embrace the concept.

Monday night matches have been a surprise success for the NRL this season, but ticket sales for the Broncos' match against Wests Tigers on Monday have been worryingly slow.

The Broncos' average home attendance this season has been 32,714 – far and away the best for any club in the league. The Titans (24,914) and Cowboys (19,589) are the only other sides averaging close to or over 20,000.

Broncos chief executive Bruno Cullen last night admitted the lack of sales for his club's first Monday night foray was a concern.

"At the moment we are on track for a crowd of around 21,000," Cullen said last night.

"That might not sound too bad for most clubs but for us that is extremely poor.

"We make no secret of the importance of crowd numbers to our bottom line. We don't have the backing of a big leagues club, and for us to meet our targets we budget for a crowd of around 31,000.

"If you get 21,000 one week, it means you need 41,000 the week after, and we know we have at least one more Monday night game this year."

The Broncos believe if Monday night's game against the fourth-placed Tigers had been scheduled for a Friday night or Sunday afternoon, it could easily have attracted a crowd of more than 30,000.

Cullen was outspoken earlier in the year about his dislike of the Monday night concept but said its success elsewhere had ensured it would become a permanent fixture and one Brisbane must embrace.

"Monday night games are here to stay so it's a challenge we have to meet and we are working on a number of strategies in that regard," Cullen said..

"We want it to be a success, and I guess with this game falling in chool holidays it is a bit of a blessing, because it is a bit easier for families not having to get the kids off to school the next day."
