2008 Crowd Watch - Final Totals in Post #3778

[nqboy]

Are there plans to re-develop the northern stand?

 

[Timmah]

11,432 had to be wrong. I was at WIN for the Dogs/Saints game last year and there was 18k then... it was at least 14-15k last night IMO.... very odd figure given how full the ground looked :?

 

[Dr Crane]

Are there plans to re-develop the northern stand?

I don't think so, the area where it used to be seems to be quite popular for holding promotions and incidental sponsors exposure on the tele. I don't think they'll ever put anything permanent there because it's the best place to put a big stage for concerts in Auckland.

Those funny little stands on the hill will probably be there for some time.

I can't wait to see what, if any, plans there are for Mt Smart with the 2011 World Cup coming up.

 

[dragondad]

The three grandstands last night at WIN were packed,but the hill wasnt that good .. thats why I reckon there was about 13-14k there..still not good enough.

 

[Timmah]

Maybe I didn't have a great vantage point but I was on the hill and it looked packed...

 

[mark123]

you get let down by hills all the time.

the stands were for the most part full

I've heard from someone at the game who said it wasn't a good turnout.

FTR I predicted over 16,000 so its a surprise to me.

 

[Timmah]

I just honestly think there were more there. 11k was very surprising.

 

[Brownie.Kougari]

You'd think with all the hype they'd get a half-decent crowd...

 

[Red Bear]

Didnt look a good crowd on tv. Ive been at the ground 2 of the biggest crowds theyve had including the semi, the hill was standing room only then, there were alot of empty spaces on the right hand side of it last night.
Crowd figure doesnt surprise me.

 

[Timmah]

nrlstats.com reads the Warriors crowd as 13,112 btw.

Perhaps but it certainly seemed fuller than are other two crowds this year which were also only 10-11k.

[Man_of_Steel_1982]

you get let down by hills all the time.

the stands were for the most part full

I agree.

All stands seemed full. Anything uncovered (with the exception of the western concourse) wasn't.

Consider too, that the hill at WIN accounts for over 8,500 people when sold out and the Western Stand not even half that.

I was sitting high up in the northern stand (because of the weather during the week) and heard a bloke behind me make a very good point. He said something along the lines of how good it would be if the whole stadium was like the northern stand: "we're perched up here high in a corner, under cover, but because the ground is so close to the action, it's still a great view of the game, and we're dry!".

 

[Chook Norris]

11,432 had to be wrong. I was at WIN for the Dogs/Saints game last year and there was 18k then... it was at least 14-15k last night IMO.... very odd figure given how full the ground looked :?

yea i agree

the city v country match was 11k and that looked nowhere near last night

 

[Teddyboy]

Maybe the low numbers posted are so that the NRL can be stiffed on there next tv deal.

[NK Arsenal]

I think it's obvious that SOO matches need to be stand alone fixtures.
