Still tickets left for tonights game at Newcastle according to the Knights
Despite speculation to the contrary, Sunday’s Knights / Broncos clash at EnergyAustralia Stadium is NOT A SELL OUT. At 10.00am today 2,000 tickets remained (400 grand stand & 1,600 general admissions).
So if anyone was thinking of going, make sure you still do.
Onto the Cronulla crowd, talk about some serious extremes in crowds, this year out of 4 games, they've had 2 above 17K and 2 below 10K, so there is no doubt that when the Sharks want to draw a crowd they can.
So what happened last night? I honestly think it was due to lack of promotion the game pulled so poorly. Both the Dragons and Souths games had significant amounts of advertising in the lead up to the game and both sides promoted the game to their fans, so people knew it was on.
True both were more 'attractive' games than the clashes against Penrith and the Raiders, but wouldn't logic suggest, you need to push the less attractive fixtures rather than the ones which are likely to sell themselves?
Anynway the Sharks now have three weeks till their next clash which is against the Broncos, plenty of times to start building up interest for it.
