2008 Crowd Watch - Final Totals in Post #3778

[Russell Crowe's Band]

yeah.
good Dragons contingent at the game.

good on em.

cant believe we won.

 

[Patorick]

Any word on the suncorp crowd?

 

[Timmah]

ER, unfortunately the NRL want bigger tv ratings instead of bigger crowds.

Is Toyota Stadium packed like everyone said it would be?

18,256 at shark park , Good Crowd for a chilly night

You've gone awfully quiet, PP Turncoat...

Any word on the suncorp crowd?

28,103 - http://www.leagueunlimited.com/article.php?newsid=16735

 

[Brownie.Kougari]

28,103 at Lang Park

Pretty small crowd considering, beautiful day & both teams in good form. On the footy show they said they were expecting 40K, I don't think anyone took that seriously. Dragons game is on during the Ekka so that should be at least 45K, Tits should be 45Kish as well.

 

[christopher]

The Raiders never draw a crowd up here. I remember i went to a broncs vs canberra game in the finaly year of the Broncs days at ANZ, the crowd was 22,000 thanks largely in part to a gazillion free tickets. The crowd was hailed as a phenomonal success. Was a big talking point at a time when the Lions were surging.

Now 28,000 is a poor crowd?

Sure its not great, but i imagine its their best crowd against the Raiders in a fair while.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

toyota was pretty full. id say 18k at the most. all clubs fudge the figures a bit.

the key thing was that the new stand was full and so was the hill and standing areas. good to see.

when it gets more than what was there it gets a bit uncomfortable.

 

[stormtragic]

28k was good for a raiders game...

toyota was full with 18.5k great to see.....if only there would be 16k+plus next time..

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

toyota was full with 18.5k great to see.....if only there would be 16k+plus next time..

thats the thing.

next week we have souths.

now they did win so there will be a few more souths fans there.

there were 17k there last year but that was when the souths wagon was full.

we should be getting 14-15k depending on the weather.

 

[Red Bear]

Dragons vs Tigers - 14K
Manly vs Melbourne - 20K (sold out, i figure this is roughly what sold out is)
Sharks Rabbitohs - 14K
Bulldogs vs Cowboys - 10K
Warriors vs Broncos - 10K
Raiders vs Panthers - 14K
Roosters vs Eels - 16K
Titans vs Knights - 23K

total 121 000

Tonight's crowd is anticipated to be well in excess of 20,000.

A crowd of 21,000 will push the round average to 15,510.

 

[aarondoyle]

Tonight's crowd is anticipated to be well in excess of 20,000.

Really? That would be great for a Monday night crowd!

 

[Timmah]

Really? That would be great for a Monday night crowd!

For Newcastle, disappointing.

With their season on the line I would not be surprised if it's more, but being Monday night, who knows...

 

[miccle]

28k not bad but not great for Broncos yesterday.

The last three home games, however, will be awesome.

Vs Dragons - easily 35k, possibly over 40. Heaps of the Red and Whites up here.

Vs Titans - easily over 40k, perhaps pushing over 45. Would be a sellout guaranteed if they were travelling better.

Vs Knights - decent drawing team here, and likely to be the last home game for Wayne Bennett. Promoted as such, and we should see 40k easy.

Form pending, of course.

 

[In-goal]

The Broncos certainly flying the RL flag.

 

[alexc]

Vs Titans - easily over 40k, perhaps pushing over 45. Would be a sellout guaranteed if they were travelling better.
.

I read somewhere that scotty prince is trying to get back for the Broncos game. If so crowd numbers will go up heaps.

 

[Timmah]

The Broncos certainly flying the RL flag.

Please, do make your point.

What purpose does rubbishing Sydney crowds achieve, particularly on a forum full of diehard supporters? Yes, Brisbane/QLD achieve good crowds (primarily due to an entirely different set of circumstances), but what are you achieving by having a go? Most fans on here concerned with crowds are ones that already do attend all games they possibly can.

 

[Calixte]

I read somewhere that scotty prince is trying to get back for the Broncos game. If so crowd numbers will go up heaps.

It will go close to a sellout if Prince plays...
