2017 Crowd Watch

$2 billion for the NRL rights

how much will crowd watching get you once you get it started?
the 2022/2027 tv dollars could be half of what they are based on 2016 dollars. The short sighted administration that sold their soul to the tv networks will be struggling for gate receipts because the generation they should be enticing to the game have buggered off elsewhere.

These merkins and clubs shortsighted wanting all the tv money instead of finding grass roots have a lot to answer for

idk
last night is the sort of game you simply don't play at a venue like ANZ .. or in Sydney full stop
The Titans don't excite anyone elses fans when they're doing well , let alone when theyre shithouse

take it on the road & play it on a Sunday in the bush
probably no more then the 7K last night
but a good public relations exercise & a venue looking much fuller then last nights

i think that has more to do with them being owned by the AFL
the AFL secures those deals for them with their influence
Souths have amongst the largest corporate & sponsorship port folios in the NRL
as a direct result of Rusty Crowe
And get crap crowds....Rusty hasn't a clue.

indeed they do

but crowd size is obviously something sponsors don't care about and why would they?

it creates no extra value for them

to laugh at idiots like you who bitch and moan on an internet forum who think they're actually achieving something

and then we have your flog mate Cumberland Tosser who only ever posts in here to bag crowds yet never goes to games himself

it was quite amusing when he tried to pretend he was actually at a game using his phone but couldn't take any pics to prove it lol

In that case the forum might as well not exist.
most people who post here don't actually believe they are even trying to fix problems. they post about games etc etc

some idiots believe they have all the answers and spend their days posting about them thinking they are actually making a difference

As opposed sad losers who stalk people they hate 24/7 and post 85000 times without once contributing a single worthwhile thing. And still get owned.

Game has some big problems that have been conveniently papered over by the massive tv deal just done. Viewing figures on tv are down significantly in some key markets and crowds are shtbouse for 2 out of 3 games. All the while the nrl is at war with the clubs and the players over slicing the tv pie. Good job we are a resilient sport or we would be heading the same way as union!

above idiot thinks their posts are worthwhile and actually will achieve something lol

you go girl
Some of us actually discuss the sport. Some are even supporters of it. We're not all just here to troll like the kind of loser who doesn't crowd watch but spends half their life on a thread called "crowd watch" waiting desperately for someone they call a tosser to come along.

If you know you're wasting your life and you sill do it that must make you a special kind of loser. 85000 posts and 85000 of them pointless but still comes back for more. That's when the troll isn't hitting the VFL forums to read about a sport he hates. The most important people in this sad merkins life are people he hates on the interweb. Needs a rope not a computer.

I felt embarrassed last night watching

Please NRL. Redfern oval or just give away free tickets. It's not rocket science

Leave ANZ to the blockbuster Sydney games and promote the shit out of them

Dragons, Dogs, Parra, Souths and Tigers.
