[thorson1987]

Wait a bit mate, more tickets will become available.

Waiting for members to sign up after tomorrow.

Yeah thought they may be the case.

12K is a great crowd for a long weekend in Canberra. Last one out turn off the lights is how Canberra Day weekend works so 12k is very impressive.

Crap crowd at Souths game which again shows just how much their membership numbers would tumble if you took out pets and people who go to one game a year in Perth

for 3pm on the sat of a long weekend ...yeah that was a good crowd yesterday
woulda been 14K on any other weekend ..& even bigger on a sat night or sunday.

theres definitely a buzz developing down here
we should beat the Knights next week & the Titans on Easter Sat

4-0
I can't remember the last time the Raiders started a season like that !

 

[dangerousdave]

Yes... But at the moment, you're 2-0.

Meanwhile in Sydney. Most categories of tickets exhausted at Cronulla. Otherwise, single seats only and general admission.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

No way in the world was there 12k at Parra last night.

Looked at least 14k.

It looks like they have pulled out a whole heaps of seats on the 40m line upper tier of one stand and replaced them with open air corporate boxes that last night looked very empty. How long have they been there?

 

[Raiderdave]

.

well even that hasn't happened for quite a while :lol:

Going to take a top 5 of Souths, Parra, Bulldogs, Broncos and Warriors to not end up with another annual avg drop I think. If crowds are this low at start of season, when fans should be optimistic and gagging to see their team after the off season, it doesn't bode well for the middle of the season when Origin fatigue kicks in.

No doubt the NRL will blame Monday and Thursday night combo and deflect by mentioning how many Twitter followers they have this year.

Dogs and Souths always drop every second season as only one can host the Easter show game. Makes a big difference to the average.

Thanks for your insightful contribution to the discussion lol.

And on the plus side the clubs with traditionally the most worse crowds, like Raiders, look like they might make some gains this year, can see Panthers, Raiders and Sharks pulling higher than avg crowds if weather doesn't kill game day. If it will be enough to pull up the avg over the drop in some of the big clubs we have seen early, time will tell.

CROWDS are designed to be dropping.
1. Delayed Coverage has been removed - Reduces Crowds
2. Quality of TV Coverage has improved (inc every game ad free) - Reduces Crowds
3. Changed Game times - Reduces Crowds
4. Prices of Food and Drink keep going up while quality doesn't

A number of other factors affect crowds over a year such as weather, which teams are winning and loosing, who plays who at home v away in any given yr, etc.

The fact that crowds have been reasonably flat over the last 10 yrs since we went to 16 teams and given the slight fall as we have had the above against us last yr and early this year is understandable

I actually thought it was a fair bit less.

Never been able to tell the crowds at Canberra.

they were again all crammed into the Western side behind the cameras.. where the shade is
like last week.
very well populated.... the ends & eastern side had barely anyone.

 

[LeagueXIII]

Crowds won't grow whilst all games are live.

The NRL need to look at a TV blackout for home team game otherwise we will never hit 20,000 average.

 

[thorson1987]

Shark Park looks glorious.

Even spotted an Unmerged shirt in the crowd.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Cronulla looks awesome.

 

[Burns]

Melbourne looks decent?
