Yep. All Dogs-Souths games include reciprocal rights.

Will roosters finally pull a crowd next sat ?

1 v 2 rd 24... deserves 35k ...

Roosters two home games have big drawing potential vs Broncos/Souths. However, since it's the Roosters low chance of drawing big crowds when they should. Big win streak yet crowds still don't show it's a problem for all that success yet no bandwagon. Any other team would have a bandwagon of support by now.

The Cows draw a 16k crowd against the Raiders on a Saturday, no excuses for Roosters to get a blockbuster crowd against Broncos on a Saturday.

Underwhelming again and again.

Dogs v Souths should be promoted like f**k.

Same with Chooks v Broncos.

Need to give away free tickets with every burger purchased at Maccas.

It worked in 96 for their match against the Broncos.

3 games at gosford crammed into 5 weekends...

and the dogs did nil promotion... got what it deserved.

They started promoting it the moment they announced it, including setting up a specialised membership for the game. Also did a team appearance on the Coast on Saturday night.

Might be worth checking that sort of thing before saying dumb shit?

I didn't see or hear a thing about the game, bar the sign they've had outside the stadium. Maybe I wasn't on the email list, or was inside when the skywriters went to work? The other games played there had far better promotion, and so drew better with less popular teams.

I wouldn't consider stadia with a capacity over 30,000 as small.

AAMI Park highest ever crowd 29,800
Cbus stadium highest ever crowd 27,200
Central coast highest ever crowd 20,000

I think if you're going to compare central coast with Gold Coast then Melbourne deserves to be compared as well.

I like the effort you went to.

Sure. AAMI did slip my mind, I have been there and didn't find it as good as Cbus. I just think of anything in the 20's capacity wise as small.

being a parra fan took the kids and a wife to the sfs for last nights game. i dont really look at pricing before a game cause i pay at the gate.

yesterday cost me
- $20 parking at sydney boys high
- $88 for tickets
- $60 for drinks , food and other junk

Thats a total of a $166 for 2hrs worth of entertainment, I'm also pretty sure they were the cheapest family tickets available. There is no way i could afford the head out every second week with the kids , and there lies the problem. It should be a regular outing taking your family to the game instead it becomes a once or twice year event
I know clubs do promotions for family passes and cheap tickets but it should be the norm not the exception.
really an extra 10000 at the game is so much healthier than those same 10000 watching on fox or channel nine
I know a they pay a lot of money for the rights but i such a bad look for the game .
I personally think its a much worse look for the game having empty stadiums then anything any player does on or off the field

Cheaper match day experience is a huge start

The starting point IMO is all Members should get half price tickets to any away games... Food, maybe you can take from home and save a little?

Would cost $66 which is great value for 4 people.

Serve themselves right for not bringing it to Perth lol.

I thought it was a great crowd! What were people seriously expecting?

Manly V Brisbane got 16K... Brisbane are coming first and are traditionally a pretty good drawing team, Manly was on a little roll and are probably the closest team to the Central Coast (Except Newcastle).

Titans having a drawing power of about 5 people in NSW.

tbh I thought the most poor crowd of the weekend was the easts crowd.

Not sure what they posted but was way to empty for a team coming third into second against another Sydney side.
