2007 Crowd Watch

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

lol, they would have had to exist before they 'went' anywhere :sarcasm:

 

[t-ba]

Fair play, just because all their fans from the glory years have croaked it doesn't mean they didn't exist at some point.

 

[Kurt Angle]

If the dragons were actually half decent this year - it would have been full. The support the Dragons received yesterday was piss poor. Where have their fans gone?

They only had 12,000 to begin with.

That's the size of the "Huge Dragons Army".

:sleeper:

The bagging of Dragons fans is getting tiring.

Can we focus on the fact that we have NO team with an average below 10k?

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

yeah thats an excellent point T, good work by the Raiders, Warriors and Storm

 

[Ice777]

Whilst it looked full - there were a number of seats spare in both stands - and there was plenty of room at both ends of the ground (standing areas).

The crowd number was about right IMO.

I'm not too sure what happened then because when i was going through the gate they made numerous announcements taht the western stand had sold out. Whether some people didn't show up or not i don't know but that's what they said.

I'd like to know how many people they calculate for on both standing ends in regards to how much it counts towards the full capacity of the ground.

That's a brilliant crowd at Suncorp considering the weather.

 

[Brutus]

Well done Brisbane!

The weather robbed the Broncos of a 40k crowd for sure.

The atmosphere was electric. I have never seen a crowd that size go so insane. Usually it's only Origin that's like that.... but last night. The pouring rain just filled you full of adrenaline.

It was the best game I've been to for a long time - yes Brissy winning was the reason, but the crowd was fantastic. 2 thumbs way up to anyone who was there. I was loving it.

Who would have thought that playing Monday Night football a ten minute walk from the CBD in Brisbane would have been a success?

Cullen's nuts if he doesn't think will work again. MNF and Brisbane are a recipe for success. They're not playing out at Robertson any more...

It's a valid point you make.

It was also mentioned last night that it was one of the biggest walkups they've had. So who knows how many more would've attended had the rain stayed away? It'll be interesting to see come Brisbane's next Monday game (difference between pre-sales and the final crowd figure).

if you don't mind then you can pay my credit card bill for the several hundred dollars I spent in your fair city on my trip down there

 

[Timmah]

Good news looking at the draw Brisbane still have a number of Suncorp games left... hopefully our crowds will spike as the Bonkers hit more form.

 

[JW]

Pretty sure the 20th anniversary game vs Manly is on a Sunday arvo, too. Should be one of those 45-50K + crowds which they probably wouldn't get against Manly any other year.

 

[eels_fan_01]

It's interesting to note that the QLDers are carrying the rest of us and the Dragons are letting us down.

I aplaud all the QLD crowds but really shouldnt they be the front runnings in crowds seeing as they only have 3 clubs still a good effort though.

I dont know why but it seems like less Eels fans have gone to games this year, pretty disappointing. Even though its down they are still better than other NSW teams.

Awesome stuff from the Brissie public last night - MNF rocks for people like me who work til around 5 in the CBD. Walk up, bite to eat, couple of drinks and onto the match... AND i was still home before 10pm.

Adore sitting in the rain too, had heaps of fun!
