2017 Crowd Watch

[Billythekid]

Thinking maybe around 12-13K at the tigers match. I feel like if you can see patches of grass here it's not a huge crowd.

Leichhardt looks ok. Say 14 or 13k?

I was talking about this game in the sunshine ....I thought that was pretty obvious.
Most would've been smart enough to work it out.

 

[Raiderdave]

seriously
lets just play out of 5K capacity grounds in Sydney

we'd sell them all out & they'd look great eh ?

sheesh ,,,,,,,

People get turned off watching games in empty stadiums.

The problem is that it's not always sunny. It only takes a hint of rain and crowds at stadiums like this fall to pieces. It also relies on being played on Sunday arvos.

I love the look of a packed suburban ground and I always choose to sit on a hill when there is an option. I also don't think we need to get rid of suburban grounds. That doesn't mean I'm not realistic about the drawbacks of stadiums like this.

Since when are suburban grounds always full? If anything getting shit crowds at suburban grounds has become a staple of the NRL. Any bad weather and the crowds get ugly.

Your argument isn't a defence of suburban grounds anyway. If anything aami park is probably the best stadium in the country with a smallish crowd. Even a crowd as small as 12-13K looks good and has a great atmosphere.

I said it's beats the shit out of any empty stadium in the country.

Not any fullish looking stadium .
I said empty...like 90% of NRL games on TV.

To be honest
Any average crowd in any stadium looks like nobody is there.

It's hardly making it look inviting .

So this crowd now looks worse than a crowd in ANZ with about 65 empty seats

Of course a full stadium looks better than an empty one. No one would ever disagree with that. That is in no way an argument in favour of suburban grounds.

I just said this looked better..that is all.
And...
I'm right .

You definitely are. A decent crowd at Leichardt looks better than a stadium with no people in it. In other breaking news, grass is green, water is blue and the earth is round.
