2017 Crowd Watch

Id say theres a greater chance that foreigners play union than league dribblerdave

The crowds are not going to grow until they make the game more exciting for youngsters.

Kids use to find the fighting exciting and big shoulder charges and otherwise unpredictable play, players making things happen. Those things are gone and we are left with completions, wrestles, fast play the balls, bomb sets, line speed, decoys. The game needs to have a good hard look at itself. I haven't heard a player interviewed all year that didn't say something about "completions" and "getting to our kicks". Have people noticed that you can start on your 15m line, do nothing but hit ups and get a bomb to the corner now? Most sets are like this.

It is garbage entertainment.

I have an idea how to fix that .
Play in quarters .
That's the answer

hahahahaha
what has that got to do with their impressions of AFL you halfwit mong ?

Sucks Tigers choked last week, today would have got about 25-30k I reckon if we won.

Still expecting around low 20s

I'm just calling you out on your dribbling you awkward virgin

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

Crowd looks about 15k. Terrible crowd considering the perfect weather, only game in Sydney with 2 Sydney teams playing

 

[mattyg]

Pretty poor showing here TBH. Really should be a 30k crowd in these beautiful conditions. The dogs corner is pretty packed I'd say maybe just 20k

My old man is a broncos member and happens to sit right beside a family of Bronx members. Have you been to broncs games lately? Kids and families everywhere. Brisbane actual make the effort on Friday's it seems then. And back a few years ago when the reds were playing well the crowds were ok.
I don't think the sat/sun game for the broncs has as much impact as your suggesting. We can agree to disagree.

Every week actually, and it's no where near as many as there are at day games, the Broncos lobby the nrl every year for day games because they are an easier sell.

 

[Marlins]

19,303 ANZ
Wests Vs Bulldogs

 

[st george dragons]

good result, considering Tigers dramas of late?

Any family with kids playing a 12pm game or later would be pushing shit uphill to get to a 3pm Saturday game.

They have a different shithouse excuse in the other 7 timeslots anyway so no big loss.

If Souffs played in there own area they'd pull huge crowds on Friday (and even Thursday).

Have you tried going from Maroubra to f**king Olympic Park? It's an ordeal. Don't give me the bullshit about Souffs fans being everywhere, the highest concentration of them is in (you'll never guess...) SOUTH SYDNEY.

As for their business decision of ANZ paying them to play there, it was sound back in the mid-2000s when they were pulling crowds of 150. Now when they have 30k members (lol) it needs to be re-examined. If it's still $100k per game that is easily covered by a modest increase in crowds, I'd be very surprised if they couldn't achieve that with a move.

This theory gets a chance at being tested once more this coming Friday.

6pm. At Allianz. LOL

Couldn't agree more. There will never be a timeslot people won't complain about.

 

[CC_Roosters]

Anyone know how Anzac day ticket sales are looking??

Pathetic at homebush again

 

[Timmah]

I've heard rhetoric "biggest since redevelopment of the SFS" but whether that's true is another matter.

 

[Clifferd]

I'll give anz a pass today, you all know if tigers aren't a basket case it gets 25k most likely

 

[Teddyboy]

The NRL need there arses kicking the way the game has been going for the past 7 years or so and it's like 1999 all over again.
