2016 Crowd Watch

Having so many games struggling to make 10K already isn't a good look. Actually this first round has been pretty average for crowds. Haven't got the highest hope for this year but who knows.

It was hot as hell in Canberra. I too prefer a dry heat to humidity, but at 35 degrees it's pretty bad frying weather either way. Was tempted to go, living quite close to Canberra Stadium, but had other stuff to get done. Should be there next weekend.

They need aircon stadiums like Qatar is building for the World Cup :sarcasm:

However does cricket draw a crowd in this country?

So why make some soft c**k excuse about who they are playing?

You are telling the story right?

Parramatta
the Dragons
Bulldogs
Souths

any team but the Knights who are expected to do nothing in 2016 would probably have drawn more.

its not like the Titans are the defending premiers like the cowboys & only got a run of the mill average crowd to their first home game as premiers :lol:

Dont you think the crowd wouldn't have been.bigger if they were playing the Broncos :lol:

Jesus
The utter derp

Raider Dave's notes so far Round 1 crowds...

Penrith bad draw for Raiders...

Newcastle bad draw for GC but Brisbane good draw...

Is there a way they can play Brisbane at home more often?

Who should the Raiders play at home more often?

Are you familiar with how home and away leagues work Dave?

Sometimes you have to play the away team that doesn't bring 10k crowds with them...

But Dave- good work on the crowd thread as always..

Only Week 1... Lots of your insight to come in 2016...

Dave,

Can you also give me your real excuse on GC crowd- all have got a run from you in the last hour...

a) Playing Newcastle
b) Not playing Brisbane
c) Titans are crap - what does anyone expect?
d) All of the above

No excuses required

WTF ?
then enlighten us as to why you think there were only 10K there lol:

Go and read the last page again.

My initial comment was directed at my mate Perth Red who had a shot at the Tigers crowd yesterday and then made lame excuses for a smaller but "solid" Titans crowd...

The Titans crowd doesn't surprise me in the slightest...

The Titans crowd was by no means solid

it was expected

Did rabbie Warren just say the crowd looks around 17K ?:sarcasm:

Why does the senile old twit bother guessing crowds :lol:
Well in excess of 20K there I'd say
Maybe even 25K

No wonder everyone is switching to foxtels coverage :lol:


That was the exact moment i switched over to fox today...

What is the point of rabs making that comment...

I have never heard a sport in the world that starts a broadcast with,, welcome to the XXX a crowd of 17,000 has come in today to watch the game...

even if you were a crowd rainman, wouldnt you realise that the crowd grows after kickoff, 99% of time...
