2017 Crowd Watch

[Perth Red]

Thursday night, you reap what you sow nrl.

 

[Perth Red]

12k looked about right to me

Hill was sparce

About 2/3rds capacity which looked about right if the stand we couldn't see was same as stand we could see, and as you say doubt hill was more than 25%.

 

[Perth Red]

Didn't look like a stadium half empty?

It wasn't, it was a third empty

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Maybe the Nrl should bring in a hoisting of a pennant or something on opening night..

Play a home game for the premiers every year and do something special

Tonight felt a bit meh

 

[Warriors Fever]

I've seen games like that called around the 15k mark I gotta feeling there might have been people not scanned, either that or Cronulla are back to being disappointing crowd wise. Usually PR is being a right fool with his anti-sharks posts but come on Cronulla you've just won the premiership, how is this match not a sell-out.

 

[Sharkman05]

Hope it is wrong mate

But I wasn't surprised.. I reckon it is sometimes hard to tell the crowd from being at game...

If you are in a busy area of the stadium your view of the crowd can be inflated a lot I have found

Not at shark park, when you are at the game you can always guess within a thousand.

Something has gone wrong crowd was 14-15000

 

[Saint Doc]

The Perth Sharks would get a larger crowd at nib post premiership.

Just sayin.

 

[PaulyTom]

Western force played the Reds last night and only got 7k on a perfect evening.

 

[Raiderdave]

so the ground was just over half full ?

please !!

 

[Raiderdave]

About 2/3rds capacity which looked about right if the stand we couldn't see was same as stand we could see, and as you say doubt hill was more than 25%.

hill was about 50%
rest of the ground was about 80%

11K
wot a load of rubbish !!

 

[DC_fan]

Night game attendance figures are always hard to fudge

 

[carcharias]

I was there and it looked like 11k
I go to every game and have for years.
In the past they would've called that 13k but since Lyal came and cut out the bullshit inflated numbers thing I'm fairly confident that the figure was correct.
The stands were about 80% full.
Leaving the ground was pretty busy too.

The NRL don't care, they got their cash from 9 and Fox. It's the clubs that lose out

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

Yeah they sure will lose out when clubs get grants of 125% of the salary cap. Lol. Worth more than a few extra ticket sales

 

[carcharias]

Wait until tonight
It's pissing down here in Sydney now
Has been for about 2 hours
Feels like it gonna hang around

Dogs v GF losers from inter state with game on FTA. At belmore
Be interesting to see how many show up.

 

[yobbo84]

Be lucky to crack 10k at either game tonight if the weather holds up.

What annoys me about ANZ Stadium is when you're ticketed member on a night like this and they make it so bloody hard to go sit in one of the 40,000 good empty undercover seats; instead the only undercover they let you in is GA which is in the corner about 100m from the action - it's a valid reason why people stay away on days like this even in grounds with large undercover areas.

 

[Clifferd]

Abysmal weather in Sydney. Shame

If this has been confirmed (I haven't really followed it) then clubs can stop bitching about loss of income from scheduling/gates etc. (Gould and co) which would equate to approx $2m

 

[Diesel]

Abysmal weather in Sydney. Shame

Perfect in Brisbane (again) shame we only have one club

 

[Perth Red]

Well not if you build your supporter base to afl level. Fan revenue is worth more than Tv to afl clubs. But yeh it's easier to take the tv money and screw the fans.
