2017 Crowd Watch

[Perth Red]

People go on about Magic Weekends, and then Sydney centric blah blah blah.

But seriously...

ANZ, with Easter weekend and all the show on, should have a Friday arvo or night game, a Saturday evening game, a Sunday arvo game and a Monday arvo game. 4 out of 8 games. And tier the tickets for people to attend all 4 games if they wish or just give free/ heavy discounts to entice people over. Further still, outside ANZ, have a NRL precinct with skills games, give aways, merchandise and membership tables from all clubs (or just the Sydney ones). It's insane that they aren't utilising 100-200k people passing through there to drum up business.

Then for the rest of Easter, there should be a Brisbane game, a Melbourne game, a NZ game and a Canberra/Townsville/Newcastle game [it can be rotated].

Far too logical!

Brookie looks packed but they'll probably announce 13K or something.

I'd say that's about right.

Remember, Manly were bullshitting about their crowds for years. Realistically, Brookie only holds about 15k.

and Cumberland Tosser will revise that figure to 8k

Looks more than the expansion game of awful in Hobart.

why are you watching that shit?

 

[carcharias]

In short, you're upset about your club's scheduling and trying to extrapolate it out as a theory.

Soz, nope. Simple fact is that this is working better than most expected!

Ey?

In short
I think they put bigger crowd drawing games on at shit times because they know they'll get a decent crowd regardless.
They'll put shit crowd drawing games on at more crowd friendly time slots...
Even though they'd get more for a derby on at the optimum timeslot.

I used my teams local derby as an example because I am way more familiar with the crowd numbers in that particular game.


Also
I wasn't actually bagging it out.
I was just sharing my opinion on the way the draw has been done and the reasoning behind it.

Obviously it was way over your head.

How on earth is that crowd at Lottoland only 11.6k? lol if that is 11.6k than what is 20k there?.

 

[mave]

How many times must it be said....20k at Brookie is long gone.
16k is packed like sardines.

I was scanni g through the channels at brookie half time. It came up on 70 something, i had a chuckle and moved on.

 

[thorson1987]

Seriously think some people in this thread would come up with better strategies then the NRL or whoever organises these things. The way I see it is just pure greed with no business strategy

In a code where crowds aren't so flash they should be doing everything in their power to ensure crowds are #1 priority. It makes the game look healthy

The NRL is too busy shutting down wallpaper sites than worrying about business strategies.

I'm loving the 6pm Friday game.

 

[dangerousdave]

Chance of a ground record in Wollongong next weekI reckon.

 

[Knight76]

16,929 for Newcastle v Canterbury, Friday 6pm.

Very quiet in here though

Lol, posted at 8pm, full time. Yeah would have been fairly quiet then I guess.

Other than about 20 minutes of the second half when the dogs were giving it to us, the crowd atmosphere was great.

 

[Timmah]

Are you dense? It's been explained to you and you still missed it.

Ah guys

Timmah was referring to the ney sayers in here being quiet about the 6pm time slot being unable to draw a decent crowd
not the Knights crowd lol

 

[Emu01]

The Tigers win in North Queensland puts a few more bums on seats next week.

Just need the Eels to win tomorrow and the crowd will be huge over Easter.

 

[undertaker]

How many times must it be said....20k at Brookie is long gone.
16k is packed like sardines.

why is 20k long gone at Brookie?

They were getting it as recently as 2013. Surely Brookvale's capacity hasn't suffered that much.

12,390 @ GC
15,424 @ NQ
