2015 Crowd Watch part II

[Canard]

Just read that the new Burswood stadium will def be able to be configured to rectangular size with a 62,000 capacity. Apparently takes 12 hours to do it. To give a sense of the investment in the stadium and surrounding infrastructure theyve just announced the footbridge to the ground over the Swan will cost $54million! It will be ready for action in March 2018.

Etihad's rectangular config means that 10,000 get a decent view and the rest don't as it's only the bottom side "tiers"

Combine it with the fact that it stuffs the pitch for the AFL means that they never do it "in season".

So I wouldn't get to excited about that development.

I hope Perth gets an NRL team - but it's time as a booming city is very quickly coming to a close thanks to the closure of so many mines. I wonder how that'll play into the future fan base when all the east coasters start moving back home once the mega-salaries are all gone

A slow down in growth isnt thr end of the world. Plenty of iron in the ground and plenty of hungry asian customers

Yeh, I wish it would slow down but reality is this is just a part of a cycle we've seen before. As soon as commodity price goes above $75a tonne it'll be back on again. Perth population is still predicted to hit 3million within 15 years.

No worse than ANZ.

That Perth stadium picture is dated, its when it was still proposed for Kitchener Park in Subiaci.

Thats the Fremantle line at bottom of page and Princess Margaret hospital in the top left corner

 

[Perth Red]

Yeh I lknow, was giving an artistic impression of what it will look Like in rectangular config! The deisign hasn't changed, just the location lol.

 

[Panther_Daz]

22 degrees and sunny today. Surely 30k minimum?

 

[Brutus]

40k today I reckon.

 

[ouwet]

40k today I reckon.

Anyone got a recent PAX number? I have no idea what kind of a crowd they will get today!

Usually tickets are discounted for these games but nothing for this one... I'm thinking its a good sign that sales are strong? I hope both supporters turns out in numbers.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Dogs fans will be out in force a bit worried about Dragons fans though. Historically they don't travel to Homebush in big numbers unless it is a final.

$20 family tickets for eels is basically free entry, who wouldn't take their kids to see JT for $20?

NQ Cowboy crowds interstate should be better on seeing the likes of JT, Morgan, Tamou and Matt Scott in action. But the crowds never come despite some fantastic talent on display.

pax of 19225 for dogs game today.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Should be a decent walk up given the weather today.

Playing at 4pm is stupidity. It's practically dark by the second half, colder and starts to get dewy. It's not a nein game so why the f**k is it essentially a twilight game? Morons.

Agree. Should be 3pm.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Looking sparse at moment maybe 8k

 

[DC_fan]

I was expecting at least 30,000 at ANZ. But looks to be well short of that.

 

[cleary89]

You reckon? imo has filled up nicely. Around 30.
