2018 Crowd Watch

[NK Arsenal]

Looking around 5k at the Roosters game and that is being generous

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

And Broncos have a full sell out. Every ticket gonneeeee!

NRL has had two weeks in a row with a sell out.

 

[Hoofhearted]

For those who dont think there is a direct correlation between crowds and TV viewing figures, I just witnessed my young bloke and a few of his mates sit down to watch the game, saw the crowd and lack of atmosphere and after 5 mins they went outside to play cricket.

There’s more than you think at least 12/13k

 

[Raiderdave]

its grown
up to 12 or 13K id say

It's a dissappointing crowd at the SFS. Guarantee their was no marketing angle for the CBD workers! The numbers equate to a rugby union turn up for a super "whatever it is" game! That's not a good look! Although looking at it as time goes on its getting bigger!?

 

[Raiderdave]

would look much better in a 30K seat venue


hmmmmmmmmmm

Exactly

No crowd looks good at the SFS with the ends always barren.

Gee the Warriors could get well above 20,000 - upper grandstands both sides are nearly sold out, bottom grandstands above 50%. Hopefully with a big walk up in the Southern stand could see a great crowd.

Anything above or near 20K that would be incredible. Shows what a good deal and a bit of promotion can achieve. Hopefully the team delivers because the fans really deserve it. The warriors really could be huge if they get their shit together.

Wow. The panthers really are doing great this year. I was worried after the off season shenanigans but the fans have really delivered.

About 4 single seats left for broncos cowboys.

Can't wait. A full Suncorp is a great sight and this really has become a great rivalry.

Overall this round looks like it could be surprisingly good.

Also, if the NRL was smart, they should try and play as many Warriors games as possible in daylight hours during Winter. 1 pm local time would be ideal.

Never going to happen when most of the TV rights money is in Australia.

Could you imagine Foxtel would be happy if they were told that one of their 5 exclusive games a week was going to be broadcast at 11am AEST?

Yeah I agree.
Could make a case for the 6pm game becoming a 6.30 during the daylight savings months and have the second game (a QLD team home game) starting at 8.30 which would be 7.30 local time.

I've thought for some time now that every club should have cheap ticket options behind the sticks for every game with lower demand. Looking at Allianz right now, $10-15 seats behind the posts would surely help get a few more in even with the shit timeslot.

Everyone knows TV is where the clubs get most of their money but it really does make the game feel underwehlming if there is no crowd on TV.

Isn't the SFS a deathtrap? People probably avoiding it.

 

[wittyfan]

Alan Jones says it should be CONDEMNED!!!

 

[Marlins]

12,226 SFS

 

[DIOGENES]

lang park currently empty - presumably enormous jam at the gates

 

[wittyfan]

They must have had 2 heads.

 

[Stallion]

Doesn't look like a full house in Brisbane?! I'm not believing reports of a sellout crowd until I see it from now on.

Yeah the old girl has had some bad press.
