2008 Crowd Watch - Final Totals in Post #3778

[*Paul*]

Crowd announced as 6,500 at Canberra... tell you what some brave brave individuals there considering there was rain and then snow showers prior to kick off...

I rode my bicycle to the game, snowed a little bit during the ride.... it was 4º at kickoff, but a fine and sunny 6º by half time.

Note to Raiders, put some roofs on your stands, you might get more fans turn up!

I've never been there but I'd assume that having a larger roof would cover the seats in shade, making the fans even colder. Canberra has a great stadium imo, especially on a bright sunny day.

 

[Perth Red]

Problem is how many games are played on bright sunny days? You can get away with having an open "breezy" stadium in NQ but Canberra? The attendance tells you all you need to know!

There would have been a much bigger crowd if the Broncos didn't play in the 5:30 game.

hear we see the excuse mongers turn out for Queensland Rugby League.

the broncos were on tv before it. My toast was ready. My doctor said i can't sit on yellow or maroon seats.

Shut up queensland.

If you were all as passionate as the nonsensical rantings on this thread would have us believe then you all would have been there at the bulldogs game.

Crowd would've been 6,517 if they had turned up tbh...

:lol: Well said.

shock, horror, Brisbane fans fail to turn up to watch a basket case Sydney team! What did you expect, even Bulldogs fans don't watch them so what chance neutrals?

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

but its the new heartland!

nah.

it was the cripple fight of the century. no point going really.

but 12k at the chooks. top 4 team. Sunday Arvo..in the Sun!..against a sydney team.

if the sharks had got the same.......

 

[NK Arsenal]

hopefully canberra's big win will bring back the fans

BTJ was addressing the myth that people in Queenland are more die-hard for League than Sydney folk. The Broncos get a couple of 40K+ games a year and suddenly it's "League's heartland". Irrespective of how crap the Bulldogs and the Cowboys are playing, if League was so much bigger in Qld people would've gone anyway. That crowd was crap, but it wouldn't have been much different in Sydney.

 

[Brutus]

I still think the crowd for Cowboys v Bulldogs would have been smaller at ANZ.

around 6-7k.

 

[Timmah]

Should've been played somewhere smaller. Maybe even taken somewhere country.

Roosters crowds are really disappointing, top of the table team and on a sunny day against another sydney team, it is a bad effort, they haven't been that great all year, imagine if they were at the bottom

crowd sure have dipped since 2004, however,they're on their way back up again

next year, imo, we will get back up to 15k average (2004: 17k, 2005: 16, 2006: 14k, 2007 11k, 2008 13k)

 

[dallymessenger]

the chooks sold heaps more ST this year too.

i think this year they havent had the big games vs souths or the anzac day game counted as theirs which makes things look worse.

theyd get around 30,000 or more to the souths game, and anzac day is good for at least 25,000.

if those 2 games were roosters this year, their crowd average would be more like 15,000

Souths Vs Roosters is at the SFS in Round 25.

 

[dallymessenger]

Souths Vs Roosters is at the SFS in Round 25.

yeah but whoever gets it in round 1 is advantaged as its much bigger.

should get 20,000 for the round 25 game, whilst souths got 35,000 in round 1.

15,000 extra fans for 1 game is around 1000 higher on the average for the whole season

 

[flamin]

Souths got 29K.
