2016 Crowd Watch

[Clifferd]

Pretty impressive Monday night crowd I think, looks 15-16k?

 

[Diesel]

Just under 16k in NQ

 

[user_nat]

That would be a pretty OK crowd on any other day of the week, so great Monday effort.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

With the new inner city stadium in t ville, maybe monday nights could be a niche thing they could do up there, 4 times a year or something.... its the only warm place that plays nrl

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Great crowd. Are we in school holidays?

Monday is gone next year replaced by the utterly stupid Friday 6pm slot.

Great crowd Townsville

 

[Cumberland Throw]

[Last Week]

Double up on sat 7.45 game

630pm Sunday night is where it's at.

Great crowd. Are we in school holidays?

School holidays have started, yes.

The "extra" time slot could reasonably easily be worked by rotating around.

26 rounds.

6 are origin affected with byes meaning the shitty extra timeslot disappears

12 home games for the Warriors. They should only ever play at 8pm Friday (6pm AEST slot), 7.30pm Saturday (9.30pm AEST) or 2pm Sunday (12pm AEST).

That takes care of 18/26 weeks.

For the remaining 8 weeks, between public holiday Monday afternoon games, other clubs taking home games to NZ and Perth etc, it should be easy enough to fill awkward time slots in convenient times for the locals.

I really don't understand why Fox wanted this 6pm Friday timeslot?

The only thing I can think of is the pub/club subscribers who pay way more than individuals have pushed for it?

To compete with the news on FTA.

 

[Last Week]

To compete with the news on FTA.

Yeah. They'll have the 6pm game to themselves which will give them a strong lead in to the 730pm game.

They're competing against 9 for the same viewers. Silly that they need a lead in game to do that. The quality of their coverage will do the job alone.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Broncos pax - 43,102

 

[Bronxnation]

Broncos pax - 43,102

Does the pax include 4 game membership? Does it include 12? Just to clarify

Average home crowds to Round 16 (Manly and Storm include the double header)


Broncos 33445 (7)
Storm 18297 (8*)
Sea Eagles 17488 (7*)
Rabbitohs 16857 (7)
Bulldogs 16576 (7)
Cowboys 16407 (8)
Dragons 16099 (7)
Knights 15639 (7)
Wests Tigers 15554 (8)
Eels 15322 (8)
Warriors 14418 (7)
Sharks 13666 (8)
Panthers 12278 (7)
Raiders 12019 (7)
Titans 11510 (8)
Roosters 11321 (7)

 

[Timmah]

Crowds over the season and compared to 2015

2016 after Round 16 (117 matches)
Season Total: 1,836,687
Season Average: 15,698

2015 after Round 16 (118 matches)
Season Total: 1,799,530
Season Average: 15,250

The average has fallen sharply over the past 3 weeks, although that's with arguably Brisbane's lowest drawing home game, shitloads of bad weather and plenty of other factors at play. And it's still comfortably ahead of last year.

Looking ahead - Broncos v Storm should be a corker crowd wise this Friday and should keep the average ticking in an upward direction.

 

[adamkungl]

The smallest number wins right?

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Does the pax include 4 game membership? Does it include 12? Just to clarify

Yeah it does. So it's more lik 38k at this stage.

 

[CowboyFuriousFury]

If Sharks can't sell out Shark Park now, when will they ever sell it out. 11 in a row, top of the table and Saturday night.
