2010 Crowd Watch II

[Perth Red]

seems to be some non-Sydney teams bringing the average down.
Hopefully the new stadium at Newcastle will improve things - just need Canberra, Cowboys and the Warriors to pick things up

seems an even split of non performing clubs to me:

Cowboys, Raiders, Warriors
Panthers, Sharks, Knights (reasons), Sea Eagles

 

[Red Bear]

Sea Eagles is poor, they've had good success in the time since. Sharks not so surprising. Panthers should be better

 

[docbrown]

Newcastle's drop is obviously ground related

Next year you'll see a massive upswing in Newcastle crowds.

 

[Timmah]

Upswing yes, massive? Will depend on results. Knights fans are getting fed up with lacklustre performances, particularly since the departure of first Joey and then Bedsy.

With hump day over, time for predictions:

Sharks v Roosters - 9k
Broncos v Eels - 34k
Titans v Cowboys - 16k
Bulldogs v Raiders - 13k
Warriors v Knights - 15k
Storm v Rabbitohs - 12k
Tigers v Panthers - 19k
Dragons v Sea Eagles - 16k

Hopefully the Broncs will top 40k on a Friday night v the Eels???

For some reason games V the Eels tend to be some of the lowest each year at Suncorp.

Got 30k last year and around 25k in 2008 and previous years.

Yep, Parramatta has easily been one of our worst drawing games since moving back to LP. Usually mid-20K's I believe. Should be a few more this time around though.

I think the news/publicity of GI coming up next year will get a few more bums on seats this weekend.

Tigers v Panthers will be close to sellout what's the capacity

2005 we came off a Prelimary final the prior year. Since then no finals and a wooden spoon. At any given time Panthers fans are between 9-13k. The rest come from opposition teams.

Before someone comments Penrith is a league loving area just alot of people support other teams (Including a few posters on here)

 

[Smiley]

Ticketek just opened the top tier of the Eastern Grandstand at Suncorp so I'm guessing there will be about 30,000 to 35,000 tomorrow night.

Last 4 years not so surprising, but purely on this years form you should get better crowds than you have been.

16? On a Monday? Against Manly of all teams?

I agree most people I speak to were waiting for us to fail and so were expecting a lost and don't show up. Yeah it's disappointing but I can't blame them on prior years form

Good weather all week leading up to the game and Saints are on a high, 14k at the very,very least.

 

[Timmah]

Ekka will also bring people to Suncorp too I imagine.

 

[dragondad]

38193 at Suncorp. Also just under 9k at Toyota.
