2015 Crowd Watch

[beave]

I read it as sarcasm

Well obviously i didnt.....:lol:

 

[Perth Red]

Thats an ok crowd but I feel this game shouldve been on Easter Sunday and the Melbourne/Warriors game at a later time, say 6.30.

No NRL crowd under 10k should ever be described as ok. It's not the Aleague!

 

[Raiderdave]

Why do you post like a genius?

:lol::lol::lol:

this is rich coming from you son of wanker :lol:

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Yeah that 2600km distance is pretty small, why the f**k aren't there more NQ fans travelling to Sydney???.......


Spastic.

Hahaha BEAVE, detect sarcasm!

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Broncos tracking towards a 30 - 34k crowd.

 

[franklin2323]

Panthers looks around 12k?
Guess even with cheap tickets a bit of rain will put you off attending at grounds with little cover.

We wish we could get 12k for NQ

 

[Frank Discussion]

But you want the NRL to look like the A League in terms of team structure. I'm confused.

Its a gws level crowd in heartland it is unacceptable for a heartland to be sub 10k. Most concerning is cheap tickets and only sub 10k is a problem. If they don't show up for cheap tickets what would they show up in heartland. :crazy:

Doing my comparison of this year's crowds to the equivalent games over the last 5 years.

Round 6 (151k) was 3k up on average (148k). We are now down 35k in total. Over 2009-14, Round 5 has averaged +5k. Given we have had our Easter weekend fairly early this year, this round is a bit of a failure.

The biggest variation this round was Bulldogs vs Rabbitohs (+15k). Note that this would be expected, since the Good Friday game alternates between being a Bulldogs or Rabbitohs home game. If I was to compare the crowd for this game against other Good Friday games, it would be +4k.

Other positives for the Round were:
- Eels vs Wests Tigers +11k
- Roosters vs Sharks +2k

These were offset by 4 negatives:
- Knights vs Dragons -8k (lowest crowd for this fixture since 2007)
- Titans vs Broncos -7k (lowest ever crowd between these 2 teams - previous worst was 20,067 in 2012)
- Storm vs Warriors -6k (lowest crowd for this fixture since 2009)
- Sea Eagles vs Raiders -4k (despite being in Albury, this was not as bad as the 2011 crowd at Brookvale)

Panthers vs Cowboys was marginally negative.

Next week's par crowd total is 128k.
- Sharks vs Knights 12k
- Broncos vs Roosters 30k
- Eels vs Titans 10k
- Warriors vs Wests Tigers 19k
- Panthers vs Sea Eagles 14k
- Raiders vs Storm 11k
- Dragons vs Bulldogs 20k
- Rabbitohs vs Cowboys 13k

Despite the graph being 35k down, if we end 2015 35k down, we will actually be 35k up on 2014's total. This is due to the NRL scheduling more high drawing games this year.

I know you guys are slow up there but here it goes again. There's more Parra and WT fans in Penrith then Panthers fans. Given both those 2 played 2 hours before it's safe to say there was 0 of them at the Panthers game.

We have about 6-8k of hardcore fans that go every week..

But we made a profit and have a team in the comp!!

 

[East Coast Tiger]

So there's no need for a team in Penrith then? Hardly any fans and the area better serves other clubs. Perth Panthers.

If we actually make the finals more then 1 year in arow. No ground will be big enough to fit us in.

Being a growth area people bring a club support with them. The stuff we are building will keep us in the black forever...We are going no where

2 home games. Crowd both increased on the corresponding game last year. That my friend is growth

I have lived in the Penrith district my entire life. So I do know a little about the area and the people who live here.

You are right Penrith is a growth area, has been for a few years now. The problem though is that people moving in to the area already follow a team and that usually isn't the Panthers. May be the young kids growing up here will eventually follow the Panthers.

The Panthers club, which I am a member of has something like 50,000 members. For some reason or another the club has never been able to covert their leagues club followers in to football team followers.

 

[Joker's Wild]

Id say a fairly large number of that 50K are members so they can whack their pay through the pokies and not interested in footy at all

Maybe if your club had a few more supporters who don't throw up pisspoor excuses like "but but but it's too far to travel" there'd have been a bigger crowd. Cowboys -----> Perth

 

[dogz08]

i think dragons v bulldogs this sunday will get 30k with good weather

Totally agree.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Forecast for Sunday is Fine and 23C.

Should get a good crowd.

 

[ouwet]

Hopefully but I highly doubt it!

Don't some St George supporters boycott ANZ stadium?

I'm guessing the Bulldog contingent might be down due to the fact half the team is out and the double standard by the NRL in regards to the Graham/Klemmer suspension compared to Sandow/Thurston/Anasta etc.

Exactly. Nothing wrong with that either success now gets the kids hooked for the future.

The Panthers club is $8 membership. Many get it because they like the food and or pokies there
