2008 Crowd Watch - Final Totals in Post #3778

[bobmar28]

and i would assume sydney has much more ethnic/cultural diversity than Brisbane, therefore a lower percentage of people growing up and watching league. obviously league fans are diverse but i still think a large chunk of us are pretty anglo.

btw if someone can quote me statistics to prove otherwise ill happily accept im wrong!

Go to a Bulldogs game. About 50/50 ethnic, anglo.

Its a win-win argument coming from Qlders, matey.

When they say "less Sydney teams" you say "but we have competition", yet, less Sydney teams means less competition.

Here's some numbers: Brisbane population 1.8million
Sydney " 4.2million

So if 1.8million means an average crowd of 33k, then the only way Sydney teams can ever match that is with one team for every 1.8 million of population.

I reckon 5 would be about right.

 

[dallymessenger]

so :

brisbane population 1.8
sydney 4.2

broncos crowds : 34,000

sydney crowds each team :

souths 16,000
tigers 16,000
parra 14,00
penrith 12,000
sharks 13,000
manly 15,000
roosters 12,000
saints 7000 (1/2 gong)
dogs 16,000

total RL crowds in brisbane : 34,000
total RL crowds in sydney : 121,000

total crowd as a percentage of city population

brisbane 1.89%
sydney 2.88%


yes there are too many sydney clubs you merkins.

lol

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

Parramatta meet Penrith. You'd make a beautiful couple.

 

[stormtragic]

27k is about what broncos get when they play sharks....some teams just dont get crowds when they play away ie:sharks, raiders, cowboys

Go to a Bulldogs game. About 50/50 ethnic, anglo.

oh yeh i know! and its great. but i think the Bulldogs are unique in that respect. closely followed by Parra and maybe St George.

You actually lost, but f**king ARKO let the pricks off the hook and back in to destroy our game further with your so-called f**king knowledge. Tell you what, i give you lot permission to control our game ... but us Sydney clubs will go back to our NSWRL roots and just have our own comp.

I know which comp will be televised, and it wont be yours.

actually Arko was well gone by then, it was the negotiating genius of Neil Whittaker that left us in the sh*t situation we are in. We would have been better off having one more season of a split comp and New Ltd would have cut their losses.

I don't remember what the full price was, but for me the other week G/A concession was $10. And only $4.50 for a cup of Tooheys New, so no complaints from me.

You could just walk across to the leagues and pay $3.30 or whatever it is.

 

[VictoryFC]

87,000 at the MCG Hawthorn vs Geelong. Will league break that figure from all games combined this week?

We'll certainly out rate the AFL on TV.

There's a totally different culture in league - more tribal. Something that we will overcome one day, hopefully soon though.

I wish that would happen....


Home of RL my left nut! You lot can keep pretending your empty stadiums are OK. It must be hard to see the big picture with your head in the sand.

Not really, ever since we put 2 games on Friday night the FTA ratings have not been great on Nein. The 2 games last night combined ratings only just the 1 AFL game. The scheduling for league at the moment is all wrong, surely much better off having 1 FTA game on Friday night and 1 on Saturday night and the games would be watched by a lot more people. Foxtel pay SFA for games so shouldnt get an exclusive night of league anyway.

That would be "yeah". Also capital letters are required at the start of sentences, and a proper sentence doesn't start with "but".

Grammar Nazis need to watch their own spelling and grammar pretty closely....

 

[Panther_Daz]

Fine day out here. Should get 15k AT LEAST.

OH NOES U GOT ME

how will i ever live with myself now??

 

[BN420]

just for future reference champ, it's spelt 'you're'.

LOL get it right fool!

I said Your as meaning as belonging to you.

you're = You are
contraction of you are: You're certain that's right?

If you are going to quote grammar at least get it right stupid!

 

[Timmah]

Incorrect BN420...

Don't have to your wrong

Should in fact read "Don't have to, you're wrong". Not only did you spell "you're" incorrectly, you failed to punctuate your sentence.

Now quit this spelling/grammar nonsense and get back to discussing CROWDS kthx.

 

[BN420]

LOL

OT: Crowds will not improve until teams/ground ticketing pricing is addressed.

And in the case of Sydney I think its a case of too much choice....

9 League teams + Swans (+a second afl team down the track) + other sports = less crowds. I think the pie has been cut into to many pieces. reduce the teams to 4-5 the crowds will improve down the track.

who gives a sh*t about grammar ffs
