2008 Crowd Watch - Final Totals in Post #3778

[yakstorm]

ie, not promoted?

It's all relative but there was a TVC on Fox, ads in the Telegraph, email send outs, plus a significant amount of news and information put on NRL.com in the lead up to the game.

Thats more promotion by the NRL than they usually do for individual club matches, but you have to remember considering the match only benefits two clubs at the moment, the NRL I imagine would be reluctant to spend a large budget on it.

TVC on fox helps??? We already have a problem of people preferring to stay at home thna get to the games, i dont think fox helps on the big games like yesterday, particularly with dodgey weather about

Anzac day game.

-Rained all day.
-Dragons had only won 1 game.
-Roosters are not the most supported club in terms of attendance.

Thats why i believe it was a good crowd, they got 32 thousand to this game when it was on a sunny arvo with both teams in or around the 8 if i recall correctly.

Wait until a year when both teams are in the top 4, it will pull 40.

Probably more or less the same. If you're going to the game you're going to the game.

Lots of nonsense talked about venues. Crowds at Homebush stand up beside crowds at SFS.....Why? Because if you're going to the game you're going to the game.

Honestly we are world champion excuse makers. 21,000 went because that is the number of people who wanted to go.

I'd have gone to the game yesterday if it was at the SFS. Telstra is a hole. I don't go watch Manly there unless it's the grand final.

No it won't especially if it is played at Hombush!

It isnt that bad of a stadium, i know everyone has a cry about it but it goes alright. There is worse stadiums out there i.e Brookevale.

We've had 2 home games against Melbourne and Brisbane (2 out of Sydney teams) with an average of 16k.

Not only that, atm we are the best away drawing team. Of course this is highly coincidental as Roosters fans a) don't have very man fans and b) have fans that dont travel very well.

Dont let the facts get in the way of a good story.

Sigh, i meant generally.

Roosters had also started the year well.

 

[yakstorm]

15,229 at Manly, so up around 10% on last years figure of 13,849.

 

[*Paul*]

24,053 Townsville

 

[flamin]

Total so far: 94990
Average: 23748

We're looking at a +22k average.

 

[Radioactive Man]

Wow, outstanding crowd in Townsville, nice crowd for Manly too.

 

[JW]

Skilled should draw 20,000 give or take, likely more, so a decent crowd for the Sharks should see a round average well over 20,000. Outstanding.

 

[yakstorm]

According to Insight, just shy of 22,000 tickets have been sold for the Titans game tomorrow, and tomorrow should be sunny in Sydney, so Toyota Stadium should get a decent turn out.

To finish the round with a 22K average, we just need 23,000 at Skilled tomorrow, and 14,500 at Toyota.

 

[JW]

Isn't the largest round average ever just under 24K? Even though there'll be 2 less games this week, that's an outstading result assuming the expectations for tomorrow prove to be correct.

Great sign for the Skilled crowd, Yak.

 

[yakstorm]

The highest Round Average I'm pretty sure is Round 1, 2007 - 23,131

For us to equal that we need 43,796 at the two games tomorrow... So for that to work we'd need around 18,300 at Toyota and 25,500 Skilled... not impossible, but unlikely...

Still, I'd love to be proved wrong.

 

[Chook Norris]

ooh good crowds so far

but i doubt we'll get 18k at Toyota and with the Titans v Warriors we'll probably get 20k IMO

You underestimate how many Kiwis live in SEQLD. Warriors are a very popular team up here.

 

[Timmah]

2GB are reporting they'll get the full 27k.

Should be a bumper crowd at Toyota too hopefully... We'll definitely come in above 20k.

 

[eels_fan_01]

Tigers fans love to get to opposition grounds when they have their full side or near full side on the paddock so heres to hoping, probably would have been better had Cronulla won last week though.
