2016 Crowd Watch

[McLovin]

Inglis do the head count?

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Knights would have got 10k in the same conditions and they are the worst team the NRL has ever seen.
Pathetic effort.

exactly, hunter stadium could be on fire and they would get more than 3600 to an NRL fixture

 

[Cumberland Throw]

few more empty seats than normal for the perth game

 

[Bronxnation]

few more empty seats than normal for the perth game

One game a year and they can't fill it out... No wonder why it's not a priority

 

[_snafu_]

No wonder there is no Perth team.

 

[McLovin]

Well, to be fair, they aren't exactly the best teams to showcase the NRL in Perth...

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Way more exciting things to do in Perth.....................

 

[Perth Red]

Albany classic was awsome day. String fans along and eventually they're going to say f**k you. Souths have sold out previous two years, either 8k warriors fans haven't turned up or many RL fans like me have had enough.

Still could be worse, could have drawn less than 4K lol. Prob around 14,500 at it I'd say.

 

[Burns]

The incoming Perth trolling is the most obnoxious thing this forum ever does.

 

[Pete Cash]

Good. No need for a perth team

 

[Perth Red]

Yep there is no need. Perth doesn't need NRL and NRL isn't a strong enough comp. to expand.

 

[catweasel]

Yep there is no need. Perth doesn't need NRL and NRL isn't a strong enough comp. to expand.

Salty butthurt much?

 

[Perth Red]

Just the truth. Many on here seem to enjoy the fact the NRL isn't in a strong enough position to expand, does seem strange for so called RL fans to not want to see the game grow don't you think?

 

[Bronxnation]

Yep there is no need. Perth doesn't need NRL and NRL isn't a strong enough comp. to expand.

More like the people of Perth can't support a team (or a game) through thick and thin so the nrl are justified in saying Perth isn't a priority.

 

[Perth Red]

Yep it's not a priority. Getting more than 4K fans of two Sydney teams to a game should be their priority.

 

[Bronxnation]

Just the truth. Many on here seem to enjoy the fact the NRL isn't in a strong enough position to expand, does seem strange for so called RL fans to not want to see the game grow don't you think?

Why would they expand to Perth when the city of 2 million can't even fill out a 20000 seat stdium once a year clearly there currently isn't enough interest to expand. Not a factor of the nrl not being strong enough to

 

[Sydney Knight]

Perth seems on the slide all round. AFL crowds down. The Union team always have an empty stadium whenever I flick around get channels.

Interesting to see what the population of Perth ends up? They have all these estimates of 2m based on projected growth since 2011 sensus but people are fleeing the joint like rats off a sinking ship.

 

[Saint Doc]

obnoxious and entitled.

 

[Pommy]

Yep it's not a priority. Getting more than 4K fans of two Sydney teams to a game should be their priority.

Maybe the NRL have decided to spend the money on a f**king weather machine rather than expansion to Perth. Houses near me have been evacuated its not just a little bit of rain, I go to every NSW game and I doubt I would have gone today.
