2017 Crowd Watch

[Cumberland Throw]

I cannot watch this

 

[Brutus]

Heads must roll at the NRL. This is utterly disgraceful. I have never seen the SCG so empty for a football match.
Advertising is nothing more than preaching to the converted and these woeful timeslots hardly conjusive to growing crowds.

 

[Sydney Knight]

So does anyone at fox have to answer for this debacle .. ?

Why would they? Their in ghe business of selling TV subscriptions not putting bums on seats

 

[El Diablo]

How long do we have to wait until we can f**k Thursday and Friday 6pm games off?

how long do we have to wait until you f**k off?

I cannot watch this

AFL must be on

 

[Bgoodorgoodatit]

God this looks bad.... This gets what? 30k on a Sunday?

 

[Brutus]

It should never have been agreed to in the first place

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

Lol crowds mean sweet f**k all these days. Who cares if no one rocks up. This is the modern day game, if you don't like it go watch AFL you skirts.

Tosser always has

Well if that's the case why play the thing at the SCG? Just play it at Redfern Oval. Lower hire costs.

When fox picked this slot 8 weeks ago .. surely someone at nrl must have known this would happen .. u make one phone call and say no it's not happening ..

SCG would be one of the worst grounds to watch league at to boot, people went there because there was nothing else.

It brings no nostalgia back, especially when there were never any 6pm Friday night games in retro time either.

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

Again, in terms of atmosphere and TV "look", is 7k better at Brookie, Belmore, etc, or ANZ ?

This is assuming the same crowd would have turned up to each stadium....

Pissing rain at ANZ (decent transport, parking, covered seats) compared to suburban street parking, no trains and muddy hils to sit on.

Id assume 10k at ANZ in this weather would have gotten 3-4k at Brooky or Belmore

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

Why would they need to answer for anything...

They would have gotten some great rating for these games. Its only the clubs and fans who suffer from these shitty timeslots, Fox would do some great business out of them.

 

[Brutus]

Number 22 for Souths shat himself and is still playing. That will be bring the fans back.

 

[dogz08]

another 12k crowd

f**k you're an idiot

People who work odd days like to set up annual leave well in advance so they can attend.
Personally id like all rounds announced at the same time by the NRL where Fox/nine has no say and whatever matches we get, we get.

Do you understand what percentages mean?

Once again, there you go pandering to three people and ignoring 30,000
As a percentage of the Rugby League viewing population how many people work shifts which include them working when night games are being played who would have gone to the game and now can't?

Verses the number of people who can't be arsed watching a game because Prime time has been sucked up by two teams who are utterly f**king gash and about as entertaining to watch as slitting your f**king wrists.

If the people working those odd days are so f**king desperate to get to a game, they'll book annual leave 6 months in advance or swap shifts with someone who doesn't give a f**k about going to the game

That sort of thinking has f**ked Rugby League up the arse. STOP IT

 

[Marlins]

Huge crowd in Tville. Good to see the Cows of FTA as well.

 

[Lambretta]

Souths v St George - HERITAGE ROUND

Using words of one syllable please explain to me what is HERITAGE about 6pm on a FRIDAY?

This game should be a Saturday or Sunday afternoon
The SFS is a crap ground to watch footy at. Give the fans an excuse to go, not 500 excuses to steer well bloody clear

This is embarrassing - it's like watching the Roosters reserve grade playing Mounties - if there are more than a thousand people there, I'll be amazed

NRL you are merkins

 

[insert.pause]

Can whinge about shitty scheduling all we like, the clubs need to take more responsibility to sell their own games, most Sydney clubs just don't bother to do anything, either through apathy or lack of resources, and then on top of that they deny free publicity with draconian media access. And when the inevitable happens and they can't draw more than 10k between them they point the finger at the NRL & escape all responsibility. The game suffers for a toxic Sydney culture of myopia and political self-interest.
