2015 Crowd Watch part II

[Parramatta1947]

9812 pirtek

Monday night football continues to bring in the punters in droves........

We play the Dragons next. Crowd will be 10,000 but half will be Dragons fans

should have done double header at ANZ, first game kick-off at 2pm, promote the crap out of it.

Don't be daft, that would require the nrl to have some new ideas!

wow. What a suggestion.
Could have doubled today's crowds, but nah, let's keep the broadcasters happy.

Suity

Double headers suck.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Yeah i hate double headers. Particularly when we host them at Suncorp and get 40,000 - all of which are Broncos fans but we get half the crowd towards our average.

I don't like it for Broncos games either because like you say it's not necessary, but it would have worked well at ANZ yesterday, 3 of the bigger clubs all playing within a few kms from each other when they could have all gone to the one spot and get close to 50k bringing in neutrals. Would have looked a lot better than 9k at Parramatta & advertising banners all over seats behind the posts at ANZ.

Double headers smacks of desperation. Another thing that makes the game look amateurish.

I'd argue that having 9k at parra and 50,000 empty seats at ANZ make the game much more amateurish.... but maybe that's just me huh?


Double headers can work. Double header yesterday would've been great at ANZ and would've drawn a much bigger combined crowd

when will you guys realise that the nrl scheduling is done to maximise tv revenue not crowd figures.

time to move the f**k on.

If anyone needs further proof about fixturing,look no further than last Sunday Sharks v Roosters.

Sharks thrashed prior week,yet were able to draw over 14,000,with many families in attendance.Great atmosphere.
They played Souths on a monday night in a cyclone getting only 4,000 many of whom ended up in the leagues club to escape the storm.They would have cracked at least 14,000 n a fine Monday night against souths.

The answer IMO .
Get two extra teams in the NRLerth and Banabender 2
Play two on Friday night,
Play 3 on saturday 3-30pm/5-30pm/7-30pm
Play 3 on sunday :2 pm/4pm/6pm
Play 1 on Monday night or if able to get a big TV deal without monday night,p*ss it off to another sunday arvo game.

In your opinion, maybe. You could also argue that you would get a better crowd with Parra not playing on Monday night, and the Dogs playing their game at a better venue.

How many extra casual fans do you think would have gone to this double header if the Eels and the Cowboys had played at ANZ after the Dogs and Dragons?

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Doggies are really going downhill as a club,15k crowd average last year and this season can't even get 30k on a public holiday nor could they get 30k against there biggest rivals(Eels) nor could they even get 20k against the Tigers

Doggies are imploding

I can't see them being in the comp much longer

They're now offering $64 "restricted supporter" seats to Origin 2

 

[Timmah]

WAIT

THEY'RE OFFERING RESTRICTED VIEW SEATS CHEAPER?

What a shock :roll:

 

[CC_Roosters]

They're now offering $64 "restricted supporter" seats to Origin 2

Wouldnt pay $20 to watch origin at the moment, not when NSW are picking a team destined to failon the back of a woeful halfback barely deserving of a reserve grade spot never mind a rep jersey

Mitchy Pearce is playing five-eighth, not halfback.

Now you know how the rest of us felt for all the years prior to last year that Pus was picked.

They also are getting ready to release standing room
