2018 Crowd Watch

[Suitman]

we're quick to jump on dodgey crowds posted by other codes
we need to be careful we don't throw stones in glass houses & question what is plainly obvious

either penrith have been understating crowds over the last few years
or
there wasn't 21500 there today
we can't have both

About time you saw this for what it was.
That crowd announcement was complete bullshit. I've seen a more packed stadium at Penrith with a lower attendance announced.
Tbh, I don't know what todays problem was, but to see a bay in the Eastern stand almost empty, beggars belief after the "sold out" announcement on Friday. Not to mention all the visible grass on the north hill.

ah
i did see it for what it was ...

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Thing is that if we're serious about wanting to get crowd averages up, a first round game like Penrith v Parra needs to be played at a big stadium and have at least 30k come through the gates. That goes for most derbies really.

Raising the crowd floor isn't enough when you're handicapping yourself on the other end by setting a low limit on the ceiling.

Yeh. I said that.

 

[Raiderdave]

Yeh. I said that.

haha
ok : )

 

[Phil McGrawhan]

So the Titans need to get 11,560 for an average of 18K from EIGHT games.

Oh dear
8 games divided by 7 crowds gets that skewed result .

Just a simple question
Did the crowd disappear for the second game .
Because that's what your thinking comes down to
Your trying to omit one crowd .

the NRL average crowd is taken off 192 games

not

188
or whateva it would be minus double headers

 

[Phil McGrawhan]

Well no wonder crowd averages are down
The second game double header crowd doesnt exist apparently .

If what Timmah says is right then I agree
This rd crowd average should be crowd total divided by 7 games

 

[Warriors Fever]

lol.
It wasn't 21500.
Were the GWS counters there?

Would have been 40000 if gws counters were there. It looked good on tv and perceptions half the battle

Either that or count the 38k twice, then divide by 8. After all, both Bunnies/Warriors and Dogs/Storm had crowds of 38k at the ground.

 

[TheFrog]

I tried to get tickets on Friday and it was sold out, then I see all the empty seats on tv, that pisses me off

Did you happen to check how many were under the stands queueing for food/beer/toilets?

again
to obtain a crowd average for the season
its games played

2 games at a DH
you divide the crowd for the round average & its contribution to the season average

 

[Marlins]

That’s right.
Total Crowd attendance - ?
How many games played - 8
Divide the numbers and that’s the average crowd round.

 

[Clifferd]

That’s right.

There was a crowd of 38k in attendance for both games that were played

Using your theory apparently half the crowd went missing for both games.

It’s really a simple concept to grasp

38K for 2 Games.

 

[Warriors Fever]

How bout this titans crowd

 

[dangerousdave]

And there's still plenty of grass visible on the north hill.
No where near the reported "sell out".
I'm not sure who's responsible for this debacle. Ticketek? The Panthers? OH and S for stadium procedures?
It certainly won't be anywhere near a ground record, that's for sure.

We had something similar for an early season crowd at Kogarah a few years back. It was reported allocation was exhausted in The West stand but there were plenty of seats.

I heard a rumour that the non-renewals hadn't been passed from club to ticket agency.

My be bullshit but seems a feasible explanation.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

How bout this titans crowd

Shit

I thought Penrith fans weren’t big travellers?

 

[WaznTheGreat]

LOL 21.5K

More like 12.5K
