2018 Crowd Watch

[OldPanther]

Seems to be a more positive atmosphere about the start of the season than those In recent memory, would I be correct in saying? (I have left Australia)

Definitely. big crowd numbers with us getting a sell out.

 

[The Vaulting Violinist]

40k there based on previous games

 

[CC_Roosters]

Definitely. big crowd numbers with us getting a sell out.

Due a big.season of crowds after the malaise of recent years across most clubs

 

[parrawentyfan]

Crowd in Perth looks great. Definitely a more positive vibe this year. Opening week crowds look pretty good. Expecting Titans to be a bit of a let down and Tigers could have been better against another Sydney team. But off too a good start I would say.

No surprise the only game that sold out this weekend is the one involving Jarryd Hayne

The GOAT

Yeah the Billy goat

Just making an observation, but for a State that isn't supposed to have much interest in RL, why couldn't they generate this much interest in the RLWC..

 

[Cash.]

Crowds in past opening rounds have been affected alot with poor weather.

AFL was crowing about the 40k that watched the women at the same stadium with a gold coin donation, but this NRL crowd are all paying full price.

 

[PaulyTom]

Very positive crowd in Perth.

 

[parrawentyfan]

The other positive about this trip to Perth is that both games have had a lot of attacking flair so far with line breaks etc. Could have been a grind with Melbourne's wrestle and Bulldogs lack of scoring nous last year.

Hopefully helps create a few new fans. Pity there is no Perth team on the near horizon.

[Timmah]

Solid. Definite pass mark.

 

[Vee]

Double

 

[ReddFelon]

Just making an observation, but for a State that isn't supposed to have much interest in RL, why couldn't they generate this much interest in the RLWC..

Because in states where RL is dominant they couldn't generate interest in the RLWC. I mean the major ad campaign was "you have no idea who any of these players are".

 

[Perth Red]

Just back. Great event. Stadium is a beauty. Public transport spot on. Crowd smashed the Perth rugby league record out of the ground.
Two decent games, crowd stayed for pretty much all of it. Greenberg walking around grinning like a Cheshire Cat. All in all a great nrl experience for Perth. Only down side is we have to wait another 14 months before we see rugby league at this level again!

 

[Perth Red]

Solid. Definite pass mark.

Haha, steady that was nearly a compliment lol.

 

[Clifferd]

So 20k at Penrith tomorrow. 14k at GC

Been an excellent round for crowds

 

[King hit]

Great crowd for the double header. Great to see the NRL embracing Perth. The stadium there is beauty, loved the light show every time there was a try. Sell out crowd at Penrith tomorrow, very successful opening to the season attendance wise.
