2018 Crowd Watch

[Desert Qlder]

Yep. Let's merge or relocate a team with the biggest junior base in the world and a club who are constantly improving in all areas.

That will solve the NRLs crowd issues

It wouldn't hurt either.

There would be no statistical difference if it was Perth/Adelaide/Port Moresby/Gosford/Wellington/Brisbane 2 or Penrith/Cronulla.

Cruel notion or not.

19,211 @ SFS

Considering how far fans of both teams had to travel, should we really have expected more?

Another crowd shocker. Tomorrow night should be different though.

 

[Springs09]

Is it the scheduling? If this was a Sunday arvo week 2 game like we used to have, it’d get more than 19k.

When the NRL advertises 7:40 KO all week and it’s after 8pm, it turns families away. Kids are stuffed after a week at school and then dragging them through public transport. It’s only 20 minutes but it makes a difference

How much would it get though? 22k? It's not like it would suddenly get 40k

How far did they have to travel?

 

[Teddyboy]

Where were the 65000 hand clappers in Blue ?

 

[dogz08]

would sharks v warriors got bigger?

 

[Perth Red]

Couldn’t crack 20k for a semi final. Ouch!!

Where’s the 65k sharks fans when you need them? Lol

 

[Teddyboy]

If either of these coubs was merged, relocated, relegated etc. there would be no backlash.

No marching in the streets, nothing to really push the cause. It would all be forgotten within six months and they would comfortably join the Newtowns et al as relics of the games past.

People just wouldn't care enough.

These 2 teams should have never been put into the 1967 NSWRL in the first place.

Who gives a shit.

We won

How far? Lol
Cronulla to allianz less than 30km. Such hardship!

 

[Perth Red]

Who gives a shit.

We won

That could be the club motto for Cronulla lol
druggies, salary cap cheats, no fans, thug players, financial embarrassments, blight on the game? Who cares we won. Lol

Be careful, that will get you in the Cave. This is about crowds

Probably

Lucky they don’t live in NQ eh? Then they might know the real tyranny of distance.

Looked roughly 50-50from tv shots. Maybe 10k sharks and 9k panthers.
Great effort Sydney!

 

[Brutus]

How much would it get though? 22k? It's not like it would suddenly get 40k

If it was 1993 then I would say 35k on a Sunday arvo at the SFS.

 

[insert.pause]

Two of the games smallest clubs playing nowhere near their home in Sydney’s eastern suburbs on a Friday night. I expected about 17k.

Sydney is not Melbourne, it’s a bitch to get anywhere, and the majority of the games fans live in the West. Hopefully we get the big Sydney clubs seeing some success soon, and failing that we play these fixtures at the new Western Sydney Stadium.
