2017 Crowd Watch

[Perth Red]

You must be absolutely blind and deaf to have not seen or heard the media banging on about crowds.

Really? Regular season finished Sunday and the results are in. Lowest attendance since 2004. How many stories and opinion pieces yesterday or today on this final result?

 

[Last Week]

Well Grant blamed it on clubs so only fair he blames it on stadiums. God forbid they should look at the things they are responsible for!

What part of lobbying don't you understand?

You've written enough for everyone.

 

[Perth Red]

What part of lobbying don't you understand?

The part where you put out soft statements and comments. If he was lobbying you don't go about it with this sht statements, you talk about the NEED for ANZ development, the fans DESERVING it, the NSW Govt GIVING the people want they want, NRL fans being CRIZTICAL of any decisions not in their interests etc etc.

"If we end up having a purpose-built rectangular stadium here at Sydney Olympic Park"
"that's the outcome we are absolutely, desperately hoping for"
"Greenberg was stunned last week"

But yeh I am sure this lobbying effort in the media has totally got the NSW Govt rethinking its ideas!

The stories have been in the news for several weeks about this you clown. You're either ignorant or being deliberately inflammatory.

 

[Vee]

Careful PR, Timmah thinks you're a clown.

 

[El Diablo]

everyone thinks he's a clown

why don't you make another thread about it?

Manly vs Penrith being 2 metro clubs in an elimination final should be getting at least 30k.

Manly were playing to stay alive last week and didn't even get 15k at Wallyworld.

 

[Teddyboy]

Blame the Olympics for building white elephants.

 

[El Diablo]

if they'd made it rectangular after the Olympics instead of f**king it up just for fumbleball then it would probably be fine

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Final regular season crowd figures are in for this season. Total crowd figures for the 192 premiership games was 2,864,464 at an average of 14,919 per game. This is down by the small margin of just 1.9 percent on last years figures. This seasons average is lowest since 2004 when it was 14,670.

If we didn't have those decent crowds in Round 26 could've been a lot worse.

Wasn't it Grant and Greenburg's vision to the biggest H&A crowd since or better than 2005, yet we're worse than last year and the year before.

Hmm gee I wonder why?

doubt it. the main grandstands seating would still be where it is, IMO. that's a massive job to move them.

Its not a complete white elephant.

Sydney needs a stadium of that size, the issue is that it's usefulness as an oval is nil because there isn't 80000 Cumberland tosser type afl fans to fill it in Sydney and the city already has one of the world's most iconic and best cricket grounds at the scg.

Only way crowds are gonna be saved this finals series is if

Parra and Brisbane win this weekend

Which is ... highly unlikely lol

They both get the one finals home game regardless of the result this weekend so I don't see your logic?

True forgot about that...still prelims > Week 2 in terms of crowds

Seeing as it's a strong possibility Roosters v Parra in a prelim I wonder if they'd move it to anz ? or is it definitely Roosters right of way in terms of venue, because that game would draw much more than SFS capacity imo
