2018 Crowd Watch

[Rabbits20]

Bunnies seem to be selling their area better and selling up in level 4.

Do we think it can make 50k? I think 40k.

Well I’ve spoken to quite a number of Dragons supporters and members over the past two days and not one of em said they would go. Easier on TV and Widdop is out so what’s the point. I said to em mate support your team......

I’d still support and watch my side at the game even if half the team was out.

Just bought some Dragons GA tickets. Pax: 19370

There will be corporates and all separate to that too plus general walk up to the gate ticket buyers.

I’m thinking about 45k we will see.

We always go good in 1st year of tv deal and shit in the 5th

That’s right Rugby League is more popular than AFL.

This was my fear, with Widdop out they wouldn’t have a lot of confidence in winning, and I doubt many people expect the dragons to win. Right or wrong it’s going to keep people away. I think if Widdop played they probably get close to 50k after last week.

Some NFL teams have been moving towards cheaper food and beverages and have found themselves actually making more money due to increased sales. I'm wondering whether something similar can work here. It's a win win basically.

I think this is where everyone is heading but the NFL stadiums have the issue that at least 75% of attendees are drinking their own beer and cooking their own food as they tailgate outside and only come inside 5 minutes before kickoff. So to them, these deals and reduced prices are trying to convince fans to come inside earlier.

We're probably going to get flogged. Hard to blame the fans after the rubbish of the last few months. Despite last weeks performance id imagine many of us are finding it hard to get too excited.

21k allianz
39k anz

Anz could be a lot more but you never know with nrl.

^Pretty much this. Whether most like it or not, the average Dragon fan's hopes were killed half way through the season. One good game is probably not enough to get a huge number back

I expect a good turn out of Dragons but I think Souths members and supporters will outnumber theirs.

I don’t understand though how they classify bay 401 and 402 as category 1.

Well for this game 401 and 402 are Category 2, usually they're Category 1 seats (god knows how).

Level 4 at ANZ is shit period.

Widdop isn't even anything that special, he compliments Hunt well who generally shits himself when it's all on him but to say St George supporters wont turn up to the game because Widdop isn't playing is a bit much.

Cmon Dragons

 

[Springs09]

Think positive, my crowd predictions for this week:

Cronulla-Sutherland v Penrith 25k
Souths v St George 50k

25k and 50k would be a pass mark only. Surely we can get more than that.

So of the 150 dragons members you allegedly spoke to on Monday, not one of them is going to the game this week?

the way I see it as an S&C guy....Broncos were in hot form in the final month because they were basically tapering their training - just about every match was a must win for them to make finals. likewise, some of the bottom 8 sides had good wins against the top 8 sides in the final weeks because their season was coming to an end and training was maintenance. In contrast, Easts, SOuths, Melbourne, Penrith, Saints all struggled in the weeks before the final round due to an increase in training volume before a finals taper to have them peaking for September.

unfortunately for the broncos, you can't hold your peak for long before it drops off. the main finals sides are now coming into peak. saints kept going on with the game even after losing 3 of their best. i reckon saints will give a good account of themselves. sure, widdop is a huge loss, but it's a final and saints have shown they can play very well this season.

Well he's firstly a fumbler fan,like your good self so that's understandable.

Tickets have already gone on sale for Storm members for next Friday's final.

hes their captain & best player, without him their chances of winning decrease dramatically.

Give me a break. The amount of times I've heard this excuse used for a poor crowd this year only for that team to win or come close to winning is ridiculous.
