2017 Crowd Watch

[Perth Red]

The doggies crowd looks sht at anz but would probably look great and create a decent atmosphere at the new west Sydney stadium. One can only hope the nsw govt pay them to move there.

I wonder if we could paint the seats at ANZ black.

There is a section of black seats in the middle tier that look better than the light blue.

At least it wouldn't look so empty.

Thats not bad. West Newcastle (the biggest club outside of the NRL in Australia) v Macquarie was on at the same time 5 minutes away that would have had a couple thousand.

I think one of the problems League has at the moment is everyone is getting Fox to watch league and so are exposed to Fox coverage of NFL, college football and the other american sports.

Once you start watching them, its hard not to spot where they crap all over League and the other British sports. I can't watch league now without swearing at the TV for someone to make a play instead of leaving it to the ref.

Last night Parra v Canberra: every opportunity in opposition half that led to a try was from a ruck or ten metre penalty where the ref just seemed to think now is a good time to give these guys a go.

TB, the problem for all Australian sports is that Foxtel and the Net make it too easy to watch sports flrom all round the world and take a real liking to them. I can follow the Dallas Cowboys here in Australia just as easily as most people in America. With NFL gameplay I can watch every Cowboys game as many times as I want and when I want.

Once people stop attending games then it opens up the opportunity for them to lose interest in the game.

I wish everyone was that easy

I was being sarcastic

I don't know if the design has been finalised but they need to do the rebuild so you can hide the middle and upper decks behind a barrier of ads or something. So the clubs can drop down the BULLDOGS lettering or player images or ads from the top of the grandstand or something. Can that be done on the cheap? I don't know.

They could've played this at Belmore

As has been said before, going to live sport becomes a habit.
Staying at home also becomes a habit.

Habits are hard to break, without incentive.

NRL needs to provide the incentive.

Question - Do the doggies get payed/told to play at ANZ as part of a contract or can they choose to to take more games to Belmore?

Terrible crowd in Perth. No way do they deserve a team.

 

[JamesRustle]

Is that game in Perth? I thought it was Redfern Oval going by the quality of stadium and crowd number.

 

[El Diablo]

they don't even deserve the odd game there
