2018 Crowd Watch

Titans shouldn’t stuck with Toowoomba. Really planted a flag there.

Makes sense as a second home for them, could take a game there every year.

 

[t-ba]

Dotted lines on a map ..??

It's 450 km from gold coast to coffs ..

Mackay is a world away

I'd say assuming the Titans will draw significant support from Northern NSW because they are close is more dotted line philosophy than suggesting taking a game to Redcliffe or Mackay.

 

[Marlins]

Mackay or the sunny coast would have made a lot more sense

 

[Lambretta]

wanna read it again dummy ?

It made less sense the second time

A 50 mile square radius???
A 50 mile radius is correct
The word square is superfluous

 

[parrawentyfan]

Maybe we should be trying to push the Titans and Knights rivalry. There isn't one but based on geography there should be.

Absolutely. Great junior nursery too.

Northern NSW and QLD doesn't work as an identity. It's all nice and well to think the proximity would work in their favour but I find people from Northern NSW hate shit out of Queensland more than they hate Sydney! Look at the reception Inglis got from primary schoolers all those years ago lol.

There's a shitload of nice little grounds in QLD. Kawana, Browne Park, Mackay etc*, Hell, how good would an NRL game be at Dolphin Oval?

I would have though Oakes oval at Lismore would have been a great venue for today’s game but it was going through upgrade works late last year so not sure whether they are finished yet but as you say the Northern NSW and QLD might not work. The Gold Coast played a trial game there against Parramatta years ago.

Clubs like ballina Grafton lismore Tweed etc are all alligning with Titans .. as feeders to their NYC ..

And the Broncos used to raid the junior ranks there when they were the only game in town as well.

Can guarantee that... I'm from Ballina and we hate QLD with a passion here.

Mt smart sold out for the wc semi last year. i doubt it would have attracted 40k yesterday and Eden park is "popular" because it's the premier stadium in the city not because it's a great stadium. It's bound to have the biggest crowds in the city because the unholy vortex of boredom plays their big games there.

well I think it would of got 40K
but we'll beg to differ

 

[Perth Red]

Take the league crowd comparison out it's irrelevant but honestly 33k when we're told how many thousands were on waiting lists to buy season tix?

Not for the dockers, your thinking of the eagles who still don’t have enough seats to cover demand for season memberships.

As said this was a Suns home game so all had to pay. I’m sure no-one is losing sleep of “only” 33k turning up!

 

[Perth Red]

How’d the NRL approve this as a venue?!

I’m all for taking games to the bush, and understand the Titans circumstances, but couldn’t we at least find a ground where you can have people viewing on all sides?

We need better standards than this.

Haha we have the likes of brookvale as regular nrl grounds, the standards are very low!

Great for the locals, absolute amateur hour for nrl.

Anz looking glorious as ever. Can’t wait till it’s redeveloped, we will clearly be able to see just how steep all those empty seats will be!


Hard to say which looked worse today, the amateur club ground in Q’land or the empty stadium in Sydney. Couldn’t get much different to some of the other games this weekend.

 

[dogz08]

they should get a team over perth

 

[Perth Red]

they should get a team over perth

You’re not wrong. Peter’s on to it.

 

[Clifferd]

Not sure if I heard correctly but I think I heard them say 10k at anz

 

[Rabbits20]

Not sure if I heard correctly but I think I heard them say 10k at anz

So did I.

 

[Raiderdave]

Ramifications? Really!

yes

a whole attendance written off .. in hindsight of course
but schedule it at Eden Park in the first place & we wouldn't have had that ramification

 

[beave]

10k at ANZ?

Sigh.

can you read?

I'm starting to think you're illiterate haha
