2017 Crowd Watch

[simmo05]

Not the NRLs fault supposed fans can't be arsed showing up

It is when its not at a local ground

 

[Timmah]

Manly averaged 13,493 at home this season, Penrith 12,922.

Why is anybody surprised? They're both in the bottom half of attendances generally and big swathes of their fanbases don't travel.

Brookvale is barely suitable to host a trial let alone NRL season games. Finals should never ever be played there.

I believe more would've attended the game tonight if held at ANZ - but it would've looked a lot worse.

 

[Clifferd]

Jeez

Tomorrow really doesn't look promising then if that's anything to go by

Should've just done a fckin double header on Sunday

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

I have seen crowds that look half as big as this crowd at roosters games that are posted at 12k

I agree its shit, but when the nrl knows manly fans dont travel, why hold their home game anywhere else?

 

[El Diablo]

Still dont think the sudden death aspect is promoted and emphasized enough leading into these games. I know a bloke whom casually follows Nrl text me tonight and asked me if this was a sudden death game?

nobody will die

 

[Timmah]

People really need to get the furphy out of their minds that finals are home games. NRL have made it clear the venues for all matches are at their discretion.

So melbourne parra could have been played in sydney?

 

[moffla]

This finals series will be the best in a long time.

Edit: Oops wrong thread

 

[Stallion]

The football entertainment is supreme. Shame the marketing people cant entice the casual fan to these games!

 

[Perth Red]

That is sht, two local clubs can't crack 20k, so much for Sydney tribalism. Bet roosters fans are laughing now after the slating they get for their fanbase. No excuses this one, sudden death finals, cheap tickets, cheap food, decent stadium, decent weather, decent Ko time.

Decent crowd in Melbourne. Can the sharks fans come out in force tomorrow?

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

Sharks won't crack 15k, they have less supporters than both manly and Penrith

 

[Timmah]

they are for some clubs

No, the NRL holds responsibility for all nine games regardless of where they're played.

 

[azza29]

15k for a final between two Sydney-based teams? That's depressing even for the NRL.

Manly and Penrith might be better off relocating as expansion clubs.

 

[Clifferd]

3 fantastic games of football played

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Members area was awful

But having 3 games at Allianz ..

The same people aren't gonna go to 3 games on a weekend

100% right. No doubt our crowds are crap and not defending it but the hypocrisy of fans from the supposed well supported clubs is laughable. Over a long period of time we are no worse than most Sydney clubs with the exception of dogs and eels.

Give me a break.

Yes the panthers eagles sharks have as shitter or worse fan base then u guys.

But if the tigers/bunnies/dragons came second and had a prelim at either add or anz against the broncos they would easily outdraw you guys crowd on Friday.
