2018 Crowd Watch

[Stallion]

Yet the league crowd averages are about the same and the TV ratings and revenue have increased - so you are incorrect the game has moved forward

The new boss of the game in his first speech mentioned falling participation numbers as a major issue for rugby league. If that is considered progress I think you are showing a disregard for reality and the truth.

I would rather as a fan have a packed Mount Smart than a %65 full Eden park. So is it sold out yet?

19k sold as of today. Can’t see it selling out given it can fit 30K but 25 would be a great result and fantastic atmosphere.

Sub 10,000 at Canberra - Maybe 9,000?

More than 10000 there.

Because the union in Brisbane was watched by 2 men and a dingo. Keep digging, Sherlock. You were a tough one to pick too btw... lol

None of what you just said made any sense. An NRL double header is better suited to Mt Smart than Eden Park. Simple as.

Try reading it again.

Second post of yours was about the rah rah.

It's all been done before. You are a Fitzhardon clone...

The warriors have drawn mid to high 30s at eden Park in the past.

Great crowd for a Thursday night for a team who haven’t been setting the world alight. Good to see the raiders rewarded the loyal fans that showed up with a good performance.

It's probably not a good idea to add another team so close geographically with the Sydney teams and Newcastle.

So Bluetongue was built for nothing ?

Tbh I’d say 3k were dogs fans

And the very appealing local derbies as a result of a top flight team playing out of the very well placed Gosford stadium. The train station right next door is a big plus as well! It's absolutely logical with a chance to remedy the dilution of the code on Australias most populated regions. Even the presence of rugby league is a bonus in this well positioned and underutilized stadium? People whom don't know rugby league exists get a glimpse of this wonderful code as they unsuspectingly commute past the ground by train whilst a match is on. It's a positive in so many ways.

 

[Raiderdave]

Sydney is 12,368 square kilometres in size
There are nowhere near 5.5 million people living within 50 square metres of Kogarah or Wollongong

Now what was that about dumb statements?

wanna read it again dummy ?

Wonderfully put! Are you a marketing person became you are imploding with great ideas! The bears should play at Gosford for 24 hours a day so that every unsuspecting commuter can get a glimpse of our now non imploding code!

any number above zero is a win based on the way we have been playing. over 10k is a really good effort

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Not a bad crowd for a Thursday. They'll probably get more there next Saturday.

The Bears going to Gosford is a terrible idea. No one will support them up here. I haven't met a bears fan in my 10 years here and I see hundreds of people a day at work. Everyone has a team already.

Much better to play games here throughout the year and offer special membership for existing clubs and maybe have travel included in their tickets.

We have enough teams here. I don't want any kicked out but expansion should come from outside NSW. We can grow NSW rugby league with proper promotion.
