2008 Crowd Watch - Final Totals in Post #3778

[Timmah]

Is that all?

Seemed a lot bigger at the ground

Tunnel side was f*cking terrible, most of the rest of the ground was capacity though. 13-14k is about right.

 

[Timmah]

Only 15k @ DFS. F8cking woeful tbh

 

[Brutus]

Gosford 13,798

There was a time when a Newcastle match at Gosford would pack the joint out.

Not anymore it seems

There were sh*t all Knights fans there compared to Manly fans.

 

[Timmah]

There were sh*t all Knights fans there compared to Manly fans.

Very true... the much vaunted Crusade were barely visible and the "Screaming Eagles" were much louder. In general the stadium was dominated by Manly fans. Very disappointing.

 

[Radioactive Man]

If the game were on a Sunday afternoon would have tons more Knights fans. Cant expect many when its on a cold Saturday Night with 3 of our best players out.

the titans game tonight got are bigger crowd then the afl game at the gold coast did tonight haha

Oh yeah, nice one...

Meanwhile 72,000 rock up to a game at the 'G that was minus one of the best players in the AFL.. Not to mention the round 1 game between the same two sides got 71,000.

When's the last time an RL regular season game got that many to a game can I ask?

Not bad, eh?

But yes a GC RL team got more to a game than two interstate teams got to a game only a few weeks after one of those teams snubbed the Gold Coast. Must be proud of that.

I love RL and all and back them on most things but you cant win a debate about crowds in AFL vs NRL.

all i'm saying is it's good to see there's still places where nrl out ranks afl...

let them have there 70,000. plus crowds afl is are better sport to watch at the game then on t.v even do i hate the sport thats what i thing ...where nrl is better both ways and much nrl surporters rather stay at home and watch the game then go out there and pay heaps for tickets and food etc.

Bulldogs fans were offered half price in the same way your lot were at ANZ... that's the sad part.

I tried to get cheap tickets, none available. For the previous home game that is.

The Titans toyota cup game got a bigger crowd. If you don't count freebies.

 

[Timmah]

I was talking about Friday just gone at the SFS :?

 

[bobmar28]

OK, but it wouldn't hurt to provide half price tickets for families to games that don't draw big crowds.
It costs a lot to take a family of five to the footy.

Which ANZ is doing for the next how long? When did the chip on your shoulder become so big?

[NK Arsenal]

I was gonna catch the train down to the game..but I cbf cause it was a night game, and there was others who were in the same boat as me

 

[Timmah]

That's your problem then. Manly chose to make this game far more accessible to the away fans by playing it at Gosford and the turnout was pisspoor. For shame.

 

[NK Arsenal]

If it was a Sunday arvo game, the place would of been packed.

 

[Man_of_Steel_1982]

If it was a Sunday arvo game, the place would of been packed.

That applies to pretty much 90% of games this year.

More afternoon games please.

 

[Dutchy]

If it was a Sunday arvo game, the place would of been packed.

Conclusion: Knights fans are soft.

good to see almost 3 times as many fans at the rugby league game than the AFL game last night.

AFLs position in queensland is precarious at best.

another nrl side there would more than likely kill off the brisbane lions
