2017 Crowd Watch

The Brisbane Rabbitohs.

South Brisbane Rabbitohs

Both crowds in Bathurst and Darwin look great. They might not be record breaking crowds but it's still good to see RL support in these areas.

 

[POPEYE]

If you take into account the number of League supporters that turn up per capita the effort in Bathurst is at least equal to any in Sydney

8,730 at Panthers

Less than 100 short of the best crowd Penrith have had at this match in 4 attempts. I was at that match in 2014 and it wouldn't have held many more. Lots of them would have been standing too. This is an old fashioned country town footy oval. It reminds me of the old Cumberland Oval but less than half as big.

 

[Marlins]

11,968 the biggest NRL crowd for Darwin.

 

[Diesel]

4189 at Lottoland.

I think they musta got their old counters back

The GWS counters would be impressed with that fudge

 

[Cumberland Throw]

well done Darwin.. 12 k is a great effort..

It's a shame Bathurst and Darwin couldn't have crowds like this every 2 weeks.

 

[POPEYE]

If the NRL made a game mandatory every two weeks at a better ground like the one at Mudgee, could be built in a central location like Orange and made it a comfortable 15k fit, they would probably come close to filling it regularly

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Why don't we just have regional Rd

All 8 games in country towns once a year

 

[CC_Roosters]

Brilliant in Darwin and bathurst. Agree with the sentiment that a full country round in place of city country would be great event for the game

Thursday and Friday 6pm are killing crowds but at the same time even the afternoon slots and rest of the rounds are not filling grounds in good conditions with form teams.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Why don't we just have regional Rd

Because the sport is run by the NRL. And I use the word 'run' ironically.

 

[Brutus]

Why don't we just have regional Rd

All 8 games in country towns once a year

Because we need to have 'diversity' and 'feeling good about myself' and 'stupid jersey' round first.

 

[Brutus]

I forgot 'I'm a silly super hero' round.

The NRL could easily move teams in to interstate captials - Darwin, Perth, Adelaide - and still be happy with 10-15,000 crowds.

I know I'm repeating myself but the NRL could do worse.

If Sydney clubs not already taking a game elsewhere, should take 1 game to major NSW country areas. There are plenty of venues...Wagga Wagga, Bathurst, Orange, Coffs Harbour. Again, a 10,000 crowd who cares? It's fine. If NRL is a tv game now, then 10000 is fine and who cares where it's played with it on tv.

I just watched a 1991 Steelers game. Absolutely packed. There's an area with little engagement despite supposedly having a team. Central Coast is another. Stop the saturated Sydney market and move games around.

11k at Cambo imo.

The nrl has done nothing, every game played elsewhere is an initiative of the club, not the nrl. Instead of just giving the clubs millions of $'s more from next year they could have reduced the main grant and offered decent incentives for clubs to move 2 games a year to strategically important venues. You might have even got a club willing to take a second city option and play 3 games a year somewhere else and really adopt the region, if the money had been right, say $1million per game. But that would take some vision and we all know greenburg is a self confessed non visionary.

Eg Roosters - gosford
Souths - Perth
Bulldogs - Wellington
Wests - Adelaide

Great crowd, dont they normally get around 9k? Good to see they have been doing a lot of RLWC promotion around the game as well.
