2010 Crowd Watch

[Chook Norris]

Rain in Melbourne might stop it from getting capacity.

In the end, the rain did scare a few people away unfortunately.. would've been nice to get the attendance over 30k for it's nice match.

I coldn't see any empty seats at the beginning. Still it looked great.

It would be fantatic if the storm could get 25K+ there this week. The atmosphere will be awesome and people will be sure to come back.

Sydney crowds are all boosted by the 'away' crowds when they play teams from two suburbs away...

brisbane crowds are boosted by a lack of supply (of RL).

 

[$$Poor Boy Blues$$]

so despite all the claims that Sydney is a saturated market with too many teams which should be culled/merged/relocated they are averaging less than 1000 less than non-Sydney.

I think it's time we start punting non-Sydney teams.

you ARE a douche bag

 

[$$Poor Boy Blues$$]

The public of Brisbane are notorious bandwagoners. They'll all support whoever is doing well, at the moment the flavour of the month is the Reds. As soon as the Reds season ends in a week or two, the Broncos crowds will rise again (although it would help if they played semi-respectable football too).

lmao. it is a bland flavour the reds....one 32k crowd (broncos average this poor year) against the best team for a team that is playing its best in 20 years....no one talks the reds, its all nrl and a little afl, even less union. a lot of of it is gambling talk - all three codes at a ratio of 7:2:1.

So there you go. And btw....the reds crowds do not impact broncos crowds. Its merely the quality of footy and the opposition and whether its a must win game, etc. This year has dissapointed everyone....looking forward to double header and titans, should be good.

The official capacity is 30,050 so it only fell 600 short, which is amazing considering the conditions.

What are the predictions for the Storm vs Broncos game tomorrow?

Weather tomorrow - Cloudy and 21 degrees.

That rain looked really bad last night. It would be fantastic to see them get over 25K.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Manly 15223 Ill hazard a guess

 

[Chook Norris]

if the Storm got 24k+, then they'd have their 3 highest ever regular season crowds in one year (2010).. am i correct?

16,745 at Brookie

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Not bad

androtop

interesting....



lockyer said in his column that they had sold 20k for melb at the time of writing.

 

[MsStorm]

16,745 at Brookie

That's a great crowd. Were there many St George fans at the game?

 

[mattyg]

good crowd at brookvale...cant believe some of the crowds we are getting this year it is really good. Dogs and Dragons should crack 30k next week again. Its great to see the Sydney clubs (cronulla being the exception) going pretty good and the crowds coming out...hopefully it continues, we could be in for some bumper crowds in the latter half of the year as we fight out top 4/top 8 places

 

[Jason_(Is_our_King)_Smith]

I still reckon the Cronulla folk are doing well turning up to support a struggling team like they are.

 

[user_nat]

Roosters have been the disappointing ones.

 

[Teddyboy]

Roosters have been the disappointing ones.

And Souths.

 

[Western_Eel]

And Souths.

Don't know what happened to them, for a club that has the most members there crowds are very disappointing.
