2018 Crowd Watch

[dangerousdave]

Rain and wind predicted to kick in in the Gong just prior to kick off.

Add the world cup n things could be bleak.

Here's hoping not.

Looked like about 700 in those pics.

Dunno how they got 8000.
Maybe everyone was waiting for the photographer to put his camera away before they sat down.

They brought in the GWS crowd counters for the game.

As previously mentioned ( by me ) the sharks have a huge kids dancing thing on at halftime.

Last year was there was 2000 dancers plus their families that all go through the gates.

Plus
I wouldn’t watch a soccer game on TV over a sharks home game.

I couldn’t name one player in the Aus team .
There is probably plenty like me .

Fox sports commentators were just saying during the dog v pennies nsw cup game that shark park is close to a sellout. Depending on how many members turn up, should be 18,000+

Sheesh.... Belmore looking ordinary.

Would’ve looked a lot worse at ANZ

Sub 5k at belmore?

 

[Jamberoo]

Surely that is it for Belmore. Not sure what the lowest crowds for a professional football match in Sydney since WW2 is but I reckon this might set a new low. Around 3K - 4k I reckon. Main stand about 15% full and maybe 1000 - 2000 on the grass.
Anyone who says the crowd and atmosphere does not affect the enjoyment of watching the game on TV needs to tune into this.

Jeebus this crowd is awful.
6 games in Sydney this weekend, might struggle to get 60k between them at this rate.

 

[horrie hastings]

$45 for a ticket to Sydney v Melbourne at the Adelaide Oval after being at $20 last season.
Do the NRL actually want people to go to games? Especially in AFL heavy territory.
I've got my ticket but i already watch rugby league, i shouldn't be the target audience when games are played here.

I bought tickets early for this game with the members discount and I’m almost certain I payed $40 each for them, these were on about the half way line.

How bad would have this looked at Homebush ? It probably would have got the lowest crowd ever in the history of ANZ if it was played there.

6,874 @ Belmore.

 

[Marlins]

6,874 @ Belmore.

Time to relocate Belmore to Perth

 

[TIGER14]

Wonder how much longer they'll keep playing games at Belmore...

So do you honestly think there would have been anymore than 6,871 at anz against the titans? I personally don’t but that’s what 3000 less than the inform roosters got against an inform panthers last night. The dogs are absolutely horrible and I don’t blame their fans for not going to their matches but what excuse do roosters fans have. Beaten by a cowboys side playing at 6pm while also being horribly out of form.

Hmmm must have been counting feet, it would have been lucky to crack the 5,000 mark looking from what they showed on the telecast.

Would’ve looked a lot worse at ANZ

an empty cow paddock never looks worse then a modern all seater stadium when they're both empty
& the bulldogs would have got twice the revenue at ANZ with half the crowd
one venue looks like its part of a professional sport at least ,
the other looks like its a venue in an amateur park comp.

Not even close. Penrith Park had a crowd of 350 back in the early days. (Panthers vs Wests Magpies, 1969)

Yeah true.

and that's the only crowd I could find under the 1,000 mark.
