2018 Crowd Watch

[SLRBRONCOS]

Expect ticketek to sell any seats as category bronze for the GF.

So roosters do have at least 20k fans, now how to get them to turn up every week?

 

[t-ba]

Great crowd but you can tell how plastic the supporters bases are by sheer virtue of the fact that it had nothing on the Tigers Dragons Prelim of yore.

The amount of North Shore folk in their clearly new Bunnies and Roosters retro jerseys I saw walking around Crowie and Chatswood today was pretty embarrassing. Can tell the Swans have been knocked out. But hey, some new fans hopefully!

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Yep, as expected - seating in 612, row 7 are selling as bronze when map shows as gold. NRL knows the demand after last night was poor and roosters winning wont help that.

Maybe we could give them salary cap incentives so they are constantly successful and their supporters might come to watch a winning side for a change...

Maybe it was just me.. but in the 80s RL passion in Sydney suburbs felt to me like what i think AFL feels like in Melbourne..

It was all anyone talked about.. we played footy at school all day we had footy cards we watched it all weekend.. daily mirror had pages of RL every day

It was a golden age.. for people in Melbourne who have 80 years of that passion I'm very jealous

True and this was the case upto the mid 90's we were the top sport in this country and we had our rivals on the run.....we know what happened to change things, sadly.

When the Tigers play at Leichhardt in the so called "gentrified area" ,they get big crowds.
Next question.

Is 15-18,00 a big crowd?

 

[LeagueXIII]

Anyway getting back to what this forum is supposed to be about and happy for Timmah to correct me but:

Assuming 44,000 tonight and 82,000 for the GF the total attendance for the season will be about 3,256,000. The best since 2014 and up 220,000 or over 6% on last year

This is the 11th all time highest but about 235,000 or 6.7% less than the 2010 record

Funny how Rothfield and his News Ltd cronies haven't made much of this fact, when last year crowds were down they sung it from the rooftops.....dogs

Good hard game, great crowd & congrats to the Roosters for beating us.

In the end the good Roosters defence & fatigue got us.

It’s too hard to win if you don’t get that week off.

They will re-categorise a lot of seats for next week so good luck to both teams & fingers crossed for no suspensions.

I just got home from the death trap.

I don't know how I got out of there alive, but I made it and I am relieved I don't have to go back there anymore.

Thank you lord!

 

[Valheru]

It was easily more roosters fans as per usual at the SFS. Concourse was 50/50 but members and corporates was clearly and obviously more roosters.

agree depends on combatants

Get these teams in the finals in 1 year - Souths, Dragons, Eels, Brisbane, Melbourne, Tigers/Dogs, Newcastle. Sleeping giants in Sydney are the Eels, everybody knows Eels supporters and they haven’t won in years

 

[big hit!]

I forgot there was single file access to the southern end and the narrow concourse out the back of the seating.

How did the venue pass regulations in the 80s?

A great venue to watch rugby league and have spent many a winter weekend (when Souths used it as home venue) and summer weekend (with Sydney FC) at the joint.

Hope they get the new joint right, and better - especially the rake at the ends

Australian Rules is played in every school in Victoria - by the toffs, catholic and public schools alike. Doesn't matter what your background, Aussie Rules is the common denominator. It also means that great traditions have been built around the game.

Unfortunately in NSW & QLD, there are two rugby codes that have been competing against each other since 1908. If you're well off or went to private school, you're likely to have played or be involved in rugby union. It's these schools that have resources, and it's these students that end up in corporate gigs and control the purse strings

Lol again you’re off your head but anyway congrats on the win & good luck next week

How you saw a 50/50 split in the lower bays is beyond anyone.

There was way more Souths supporters in your bays then the other way around. In fact we were even allocated a bay at your end.

 

[YoHadrian]

I think it's great that's the jumper-draped-around-the-neck Tah's crowd remembered that they have SFS memberships & showed up for their three times a year attendance to convey their blessings on the plebian spectacle beneath.

 

[Vee]

He is so full of shit, why is he tweeting this?

Because he's a politician mate. We did try to warn you about him.

Professional media tart.

 

[taipan]

It is for a ground like Leichhardt,in a gentrified area.

How good does the death trap look tonight

Not as good as your Spotless.
