2010 Crowd Watch

[babyg]

Just over 10,000 there tonight. (don't have the exact number..)

TBH it looked like a 7,000 type crowd but its only the second time I have been there so its a bit hard to read. Well done to the Roosters supporters who made the trip, always good to have a vocal away crowd at a game. Not sure what happened near the end of the game though... think I saw a few wild punches thrown.. hope it was nothing serious.

Oh and well done to all the Melbourne fans who keep on turning out. MNF is never really a popular timeslot in Melbourne. Queens Birthday probably added 2,000.

Gee that Melbourne stadium looks good. Looks like you get a bit of atmosphere there too. I find suncorp a bit sterile.

It's a nice size, not too big to lose a 10-15K crowd but big enough to get a great atmosphere with it sold out.

Big crowd for the Sharks this week hopefully.

Local Derby vs top of the ladder team and the Sharks coming off their most exciting victory in years.

A lot of the seating is nearly sold out. Need a full GA area though.

Atmosphere? Suncorp trumps that melbourne one. obviously the crowd noise does not come across enough on tv. tho i fail to see why.

ofcourse your judgement is way off. my reasonable attempt an excuse which is hardly our fault need not even come up against your off perceptions.

sorry but I find your comment laughable

WTF. seats are closer to the sideline and it looks steeper so the high seats are closer to the action. when I get to the Melbourne stadium I'll decide for myself.

Looking like rain for Sunday in Sydney...hope not as it would diminish what should be great crowds for Leichhardt and Toyota

Which highlights the problem with playing in a ground like Leichhardt, particular around this time of year. In the rain it is a terrible ground to watch footy at and you can guarantee that the crowd will drop significatnly if it rains.

Add this to the fact that we are playing in a time of year where rain is common and heavy and you have a recipe for poor crowds.

 

[Perth Red]

I guess if we ever get a fixed schedule it will make it easier to schedule Sunday afternoon games at beginning or end of the season at these antiquated grounds.

The 'rain' on Sunday looks at this stage to be more of the 'couple of showers throughout the day' variety (which is ok for footy) as opposed to the sorts of rain Sydney has had in recent weeks.

The f**king rain always seems to hit yours for weekends:x

 

[user_nat]

Looks pretty rainy here in QLD today, plenty of time to clear up though. Not that it would make a difference to crowd anyhow.

 

[jc155776]

There is a Game at Shark Park on Sunday.

Therefore the chance of rain is 100%

but dont buy tickets at the back row then, start saving now. you'll need an extra 20 bucks....

I'm a bit of a stadium hound, mate, been to a lot of stadia....if you think suncorp is worse than melbourne then you are on something.

melbourne is a great stadium, sure, but lets be honest, its not as good as suncorp.

You are correct.

It's winter ffs. Perhaps the NRL should switch to summer to increase crowds? But then the excuse would be about how people want to go to the beach instead when it's sunny. You can't win with Sydney crowds, they're as fickle as Matt Preston.

Sydney fans need to HTFU and support their team through rain, hail or shine.

Hey Timmah...just so you know, WZ is a good resource, just don't touch the last 2 days on their 7 day forecasts (ie: day 6 and 7) as I think its raw model output which can chop and change each day. It now says 'possible shower' there for Sunday rather than the much worse 'showers', which at this stage still looks to be the most likely outcome

Did like the Shark Park joke though...always seems to rain there!

 

[Timmah]

It was the third last day on their forecast, and I obtained it this morning, two hours before you've said possible showers... :?

Doesn't it rain on average more in summer though?
