2010 Crowd Watch II

[Brutus]

Only the fact Saints have two small grounds keeps them from being the best supported team in Sydney.

Bingo!

 

[Jono1987]

I dont believe that is true, Saints have good support around the country but in Sydney, the Bulldogs and Tigers (and to an extent the Eels) can generate more support, if Bulldogs put back to back seasons like the Dragons have, our average will push 25k, the dragons have trouble packing out a 18k capacity stadium

Our home crowd average would suggest the point your making however, we haven't played one single Sunday afternoon game at Kogarah this year. I don't think we'd have any trouble packing Kogarah on a Sunday afternoon.

I'm pretty sure we get games in Wollongong for the second half of the season, unless I miss-read and its 2012.

Stadium down here is getting done now, I'm sure it'll be ready for late next season.

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

Bingo!

That's true, but I bet if Parra had a 30-35k stadium their average would go up, esp if we were minor prems 2 years in a row,

 

[Brutus]

We will see what our crowds are like next year with no Wollongong. Apparently we are going to play some out of SCG/SFS

Well if you happen to have a successful season on-field in 2011, then you'll be the best supported team in Sydney.

You'll be able to play your blockbuster games in the bigger stadiums and promote them accordingly.

If a successful Dragons played a successfull Dogs at Kogarah what would the crowd be?

Play the same game at either the SCG, SFS or ANZ and what would the crowd be??

Guesses of course, but I'd like to think we know our footy crowds enough to have a stab at some figures.

It sure would.

A regular season game between two succesful dogs and dragons? About 40k at SFS and 50k at ANZ. I say 40 at SFS because of SCG members not all attending and 50 at ANZ because of easy transport (compared to SFS), and the widespread support of both teams through sydneys west.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Tonight's crowd might get more than the average Monday Night. Dogs have done a excellent job promoting the game.

17-18k IMO.

 

[cleary89]

How many friday night games have saints played? I'm sure people don't turn up to games when its the only live game on FTA all week.

Start giving saints some sunday arvo games, and the crowds will come.

 

[VictoryFC]

Yeah, and it might be just me but Kogarah just looks so much better during the day. There is something depressing about it at night on TV.

 

[Panther_Daz]

On the M4 on the way to the Stadium now. Expect much of the crowd to be walking in a few mins before kick off and even 10-15 mins after the game starts.

Stadium down here is getting done now, I'm sure it'll be ready for late next season.

They want the site cleared by the end of September, and construction will take around 9 months.

So the Dragons want to be playing games at WIN Stadium by July next year, but its a tight schedule, and any delays will see more games played at Kogarah.

They have already had a minor delay, as they found styrofoam in the grandstand, which would turn to dust if not carefully pulled apart.

 

[Chook Norris]

crowd is actually pretty poor tbh

 

[Moffo]

Dogs fans are very angry at how the players have 'put in' this year. No surprise

All NRL grounds should not have any new upgrades from now on untill they get more people/mempership to the grounds.
Why is WIN Stadium getting upgraded ???

btw 3 great crowds for the Warriors/Knights and West Tigers and 2 ok/decent crowds for the Roosters and Souths.
Saying that if the Souths and the Roosters had there own 20000 ground things would look even better.

 

[Chook Norris]

shame.. thought the Dogs promoted it very well

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

it was a bit nippy in canberra.

plus. i mean..the cowboys. not exactly a huge game

Mainly because the western grandstand was crumbling

i'm pretty happy with it...Monday night...sh*t season for the dogs and against a team that rarely bring more then a couple of hundred away supporters with them
