I knew they could fit more at Mount Smart.

 

[Timmah]

They've installed a new temporary grandstand IIRC.

Timmah,

Have you made a list of crowd averages by team?

 

[The Tank]

Well done Warriors!

 

[Dakink]

I would be really interested to see each clubs ground filling percentage.

Broncos (guessing here) averages 30k in a 55k ground = roughly 60%

Rabbits ave 15k in a 80k ground = 18.75% and so on for all the clubs and their home grounds.

When I have more time perhaps? Someone out there got the time spare?

 

[Timmah]

I did half of them last week after last weeks games. I'll fix up NQ, WT, Soufs, Canb, Penny, Manly, Parra & Melb tonight.

the Raiders figure is impressive. They made the 8 last year, dropped down this year to 3rd last and picked up 20 new supporters per game on the way :crazy:

when you compare that to the sea eagles, parra etc. who have dropped despite performing much better than last year, its pretty good. Yeah, there have been weather factors with the Sydney teams, but i still think and increase in the freezing cold of canberra is a good sign.

Penrith did good too despite picking up the spoon.

CLUB HOME AVERAGES 2007


Gold Coast 21,489 (2x Suncorp)

Has a club averaging significantly higher than their home ground capacity ever happened before?

 

[Ari Gold]

Hahahahahhaa how the f**k did we beat Manly and Parra? They've been premiership contenders the whole year...

 

[c_eagle]

Hahahahahhaa how the f**k did we beat Manly and Parra? They've been premiership contenders the whole year...

Get rid of the two 30+ crowds and your average is down to 12k. I'm not saying it shouldn't be considered but these are two pretty heavy outliers. You also had two successful games at Gosford.

 

[Timmah]

You had one successful game at Gosford yourselves.

 

[brendothejet]

you can't say 'get rid of the 2 30k games and your average is down to 12k'

An average is just that people. Why should teams results be scrutinised for getting big crowds?

If they have 2 30k games this season next year aim for 3-4. The teams that didn't get a big 30k crowd should look to it for next season.

Eventually every team should be aiming for a full house sign. (I realise at telstra this may be difficult, but matches involving the big sydney teams should be hitting that 40 - 50 k mark in the next year)

 

[ByRd]

The fact that the dogs should be playing the tigers and rabbitohs twice next season is a big bonus and both games shold get over 30k easily and hopefully push towards the 40k mark

 

[Apey]

Ouch, -6k drop for Newcastle

 

[mattyg]

by the looks of it, if the pools are done the same as this year, we play Dragons, Eels, Tigers and Souths twice each. All them have potential to break 30-35k. We even play Brisbane twice, and we can push up over 25k for those games. I'd say our crowd average will be up significantly next year.

 

[NGR]

Get rid of the two 30+ crowds and your average is down to 12k. I'm not saying it shouldn't be considered but these are two pretty heavy outliers. You also had two successful games at Gosford.

ok and get rid of the 7k crowds when it was pissing down as well then..

oh wait, by doing that its no longer a representative sample...
