2016 Crowd Watch

[dangerousdave]

I have always been interested in this. Where is the divide between the two districts?

The East Hills Railway Line

 

[undertaker]

Would imagine a Sunday arvo would sell out?

They did last year. 19,005 vs Cronulla.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

they gave away heaps of penalties that day too

 

[BlueandGold]

Filled up nicely. Maybe 14k now.

For a monday its a great crowd. Looked bad when the game kicked off but after 20mins the crowd built up nicely.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

yeah thats good for MNF

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Broncos vs Dragons is shaping to be about 24k... Hopefully sales pick up.

Thursday can suck it.

 

[beave]

Faaaaark.

That is not good, that game is normally a pretty good crowd puller in Brissy.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Yeah I know, such a shame. I would say even with the dragons current form it would pull about 33k on a Friday night. Atrocious pre sales. Its thursday night, uni is back, they should be throwing out $5 or $10 student tickets.

 

[BlueandGold]

13,463 Belmore

 

[Perth Red]

Pretty good for a wet monday night with just one set of fans, doubt playing it at ANZ would have drawn many more? for only 13k the place looked good, abandon your big stadium strategy and build a load of 20k grounds!

Take out the Broncos avg and the few big PH games which could still be played at ANZ and Sydneys crowds are prob around 14k avg and rarely woudl trouble the capacity of a 20k stadium.

 

[Chook Norris]

Anyone know if the Bulldogs made a loss, broke even or a profit with that crowd ? Sure looked good on tv

perfect if we had no SOO or finals or grand finals...

what do we do leave anz like wembley and use it for the 2 days a year.. ?

 

[Warriors Fever]

Novelty wearing off here

Rainy Monday night against Canberra, yeah the novelties really warn off. What a neg statement

 

[Warriors Fever]

Broncos vs Dragons is shaping to be about 24k... Hopefully sales pick up.

Thursday can suck it.

Two weekdays is probably two too many, can't wait for Mnf to go and I couldn't imagine anyone who would miss it.

One game a week on a Sunday afternoon, origin, finals for sydney teams. Anything else is not nrl's problem. Plenty of big stadiums host less games than that a year.

Larger stadiums are the reason some clubs are lifting their crowd averages. Even the Dragons average higher now they play at ANZ & Allianz.

Yes - crowds 'look better' at the smaller grounds and there are still way too many clubs not cracking 20k often (or at all) and there needs to be a balanced, managed approach, but regressing to not using big stadiums is easily the stupidest thing I've seen this week.

How many Sydney teams are avg 17k plus? How many games are more than 20k crowds in Sydney? Modern all seater under cover 20-25k boutique stadiums should be the future for NRL in Sydney, they have pretty much given up on seriously meeting their KPI on crowd growth by agreeing to ridiculous Schedule for tv. Accept most clubs are never going to crack 20k in next few decades and build stadiums that don't look like no one watches the sport.

More like foxsports is going to miss those ratings, top bad they get a great deal out of nrl, if it was t for us they would lose at least 50 percent of their business
