2018 Crowd Watch

[Clifferd]

No it wasn't.
Sydney's maximum today was 31.9 at 1.23 pm

Definitely felt way hotter than that

But fair

There was a good crowd at the Warriors game

No it wasn't, it was shit. 500,000 at each game is the pass mark, anything less and its the NRLs fault, Sydney have too many teams, the game is dying etc.

15, 995.

Highest crowd between these two teams at Penrith. Also highest between these two teams since 1989.

Shit crowd, Perth woyld have got 6 million.

 

[Vee]

Looks a big crowd in Melbourne.

I agree with others that big crowds make it more exciting and create more big crowds. We're off to a great start this year, good times ahead hopefully.

 

[Stallion]

Decent crowd in Melbourne.

Of course it did. It was also humid.
Facts.
Don't know why you'd claim mid 30's for the city when it was no where near it.

Woyld we?

This is why you don't assume any game is going to get 20K+. Also as per always your best just to take off 10-20% of any crowd predictions and that usually gets you closer to the mark.

Both crowds today were decent but it sucks constantly having crowds be overhyped.

It would be good to have comparisons with previous years for the same matchups though. The warriors crowd was well up on last year and the panthers was their best ever against Souths (according to the above poster). Neither crowd was massive but it's always good seeing improvement.

I remember our 2015 march home game v cowboys, at 9:30pm the temperature was 31.5 with 85+% humidity. Feels like temp was over 37. Dew point oppressive, over 24.5. We got 40,100 approx and were slaughtered on here.

Round one 2015 v bunnies was just as bad if not worse.

I completely understand why Penrith fans stayed away.

 

[Draft]

Apparently the Warriors pre-sold 17k, not sure what happened to the other 3k that didn't turn up?

Maybe Eric Watson was spreading bullshit to try justify increasing the sale price of the warriors?

 

[taipan]

Decent crowd in Melbourne.

I'd say based on PR's East coast crowd calcs, is about half.

 

[Marlins]

Early weather forecast for Sydney next week is not good. Raining Friday.
Dogs 6pm @Anz will be sub 8K with rain around. Not sure about Tigers @ Campbelltown. If the weather isn’t too bad could be a half decent turnout.

 

[Vee]

Melbourne crowd anyone?

 

[Billythekid]

Hopefully tigers fans start coming out in force. It's been a long time since the club had this much to be positive about.

1st proper tigers home game of the year after 2 impressive wins should have the fans streaming through the gates

I’d say 17k in perfect conditions at Campbeltown

But add in the usual disappointment factor in nrl crowds and it’ll probably be more around the 14-15k mark

Storm Tigers: 18,189

Will depend on weather. If the weather is great there will be a bumper crowd IMO but throw if the rain forecast comes true who knows.
