2017 Crowd Watch

[Perth Red]

this is one of the most ludicrous statements you have made.

Facts dont lie. Take a peek at attendances and tv audiences in Sydney, for its population and for nrl being the number one game they are both pretty sad.

A Brisbane team that either attracts a particular region or different socio economic than broncos would work well. Dockers became successful despite the massive might of the Eagles in Perth as they provide a north south unofficial split of the city and a rich western suburbs eagles v working clas freo suburbs. As long as the new Brisbane club has points of difference to the broncos it will be hugely successful.

It is insane that a rl mad city like Brisbane has one club whilst a not that interested Sydney has nine.

You need a history lesson.

Beautiful day in Sydney. Can't wait for Dogs vs Buns.

Beautiful day in Sydney. Can't wait for Dogs vs Buns.

Is 40k plus out of the question on a sunny day and both sides coming off a win?

Gutted I can't make this one, will defs be attending the Monday one though. Hoping for similar weather

I think you'll need to ask Perth Red.

He's LU's independent observer on such matters.

Monday should be great too. Going to that one as well.

Surely the Nrl must be proactive and offer cheap admission for Easter Show people.

Reduce entry should be a given even a free ticket in a show bag for kids as we spoke about on this forum before,so they drag mum and dad through the gates.

I wouldn't be surprised if nrl did nothing and just expected people to just pay full freight for footy tickets after spending a thousand dollars at the show.

If anyone is going to the Easter Show today,I would love to hear what sort of an effort/presence the nrl are doing to attract the people next door to ANZ stadium.

Should be free imo, but say 50% discount would probably be justifiable

The NRL would consider it a nuisance to have all those people walking by outside upsetting the tranquility.

What games have you attended this year?

 

[T-Boon]

What games have you attended this year?

I am a regular at B League fixtures.
Until the NRL bring in my rule changes I am watching on the box. Even then only Eels and Raiders games (who play some good B League style).

So, GWS fan then?

Should be good crowds today. Glorious weather in Newcastle, hoping for 18,000.

I admit that Sydney needs a boost with the average in syd at around 14k last year, but with that whole rain thing taking up most of March there are excuses. I would hardly call sydney uninterested when there are 8 NRL teams, combining to 125k average supporters around sydney, possibly less from away fans and all.

So NSW Cup or just made up fixtures?

theres very few sports comps & cities anywhere else in the world that were set up like RL was in Sydney & fumbleball in Melbourne
If we're comparing Sydney with Melbourne then Sydney will look poor
for lots & lots of reasons least of all , both cities being very different.

but cities like New York only have 2 NFL sides in an area that has 20 Million people in its catchment , around 160,000 attend games over the fornight
London only 3 EPL sides in an area not much smaller , around 135,000 attend games for these 3 sides
there are other leagues & sports played in these cities too just like in Sydney
but
if Sydney only had 2 or 3 NRL sides then there'd be an argument that the 125,000 attending games
meaning statements like Sydney isn't interested in RL .. are pretty silly when context is taken into account.

London doesn't have 3 PL sides

Chelsea
Arsenal
West ham
Palace
Spurs
Watford is London if we're saying Penrith is Sydney.

Championship football attracts crowds larger than the NRL does in Sydney and there's a load more London teams in that.

Weather looks amazing in Sydney today.
