2016 Crowd Watch

[T-Boon]

News Alert: fair weather fans getting on bandwagon in grand final week.

Hopefully the Clubs especially Cronulla will be there going crazy with deals for season tickets next season.

 

[T-Boon]

They're not fans, just people who live in the region and decide to go to their one game of footy. Same as the 500k or more who will tune in on tv from Melbourne to watch the storm in it. Be good for merch sales though.

Hopefully the Sharks will win playing an attractive style to counter the Storm's vomit style and these 1 game a year'ers start to crave more.

Some are even coming from Perth.

The planes around GF time do usually have smatterings of NRL jerseys on show. The plane we got to Melbourne for SOO had a large number of RL fans on it. We know how to travel

 

[Perth Red]

" Just people who live in the region" People coming from interstate and overseas.
And have now I understand sold out season ticketed memberships .
Whatever they were, they have now paid large sums to watch live, queued day after day to buy merchandise.
Yeah it's all bad sheesh.You will never change .

Who said it was bad? Just calling it as it is. Nice money in the pocket for Sharks, they may even make a profit this year! History seems to suggest that the euphoria of a GF for these fringe fans doesn't translate into sustained crowd increases the following years sadly.

The cynicism meter went into overdrive re comments about bandwagon fans.
Facts are virtually all season ticket holders are sold.
So something has translated already.Considering the dramas with ASADA and player idiocy of recent years the sharks are doing better than expected.
History suggested the Sharks would be dumped based on their financials.History was wrong.
Your anti Sharks history is worthy of a Nobel prize .

 

[Perth Red]

Are you a bit sore that we didn't relocate to Perth?

Quite the opposite

The truth? YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH! My anti sharks history is based on reality. Suburban club decades of financial struggle, administrative mis-management, merkin players, dragged the game through the mud with its drugs scandal. Thank goodness you had an asset to flog off or you really would be offering nothing and probably be gone sooner rather than later.

Enjoy the GF, might be awhile till the next one. Come on Storm!

 

[myrrh ken]

Yeah wish we had the same crowd support as the Western Reds did.

 

[Eion]

The truth is Perth do not have an NRL side, and the Sharks are in 2016 grand final. That is the only truth that matters.

The truth inconvenient for you, is you have been anti Sharks for ages,so you are telling me to suck eggs..I'm fully aware of the Shark's history,probably before you knew they existed.
I had contributed apart from my annual season ticket holder's money, a separate decent sum of money(small perhaps compared to others) to help the club.Our names are on a plaque in the grounds.Shark's fans get behind their club in times of crisis.

Club mismanagments,players misbehaving , unique problem never happens elsewhere in this country nor the world.Scoop West Coke Eagles were an example of how players and clubs should be run LOL

That's right the club had an asset amazingly perceptive,if they didn't they would be up sh*t street without a paddle.Forward thinking owning your own ground.Something you guys over there should consider.

I'll enjoy the grand final,winning more so.I'm also enjoying the new residential towers that will be gradually filling with residents next month.Estimates now just for residential $55-60m for the club.I love the smell of wet concrete in the morning.It's very solidifying.

I do know we will be there next year,and not as a relocated expansion team.Ciao baby.

That 55-60 million $$ must be the reason the Sharks are so far over the salary cap it's not funny.. Maloney would be on a fortune if the roosters couldn't afford to keep him.

Your perception of reality.. sing it with me!

Well they couldn't get away with drugging their players for advantage so I guess it is the next natural step

Up, Up Cronulla.

 

[carcharias]

Hey Perth red

How's it Goin ?

Sharks in the Grand Final after securing their financial future all in the space of about 3 years.

f**k you jumped on the wrong horse didn't ya?

 

[Perth Red]

[Frank Discussion]

This is killing Perth Red and I f**ken love it.
