2018 Crowd Watch

[Differ To The Coifed]

Imagine if Melbourne hadn’t had the form for the last 15 years...

Gee I wonder why they have been so successful for so long?

Hellooooooo???

Despite everyone hating him I liked the Gallop years as crowds were strong from 2003 to 2009 and then after that it slowly started to go downwards and the fans on this forum dick weaving about getting a independent commission and now look whats happened.

How the f**k do you remember, you're a drunken stumblebum.

 

[El Diablo]

Well you both have something in common Teddy,Gallop was easily controlled by his masters,and you by the amber slops that dribbles down your shirtfront.You both also um and aagh.
You'd probably sell your soul for 40 pieces of silver or a keg , just like our dud Tv deals.

Today Show just gave ch7 a good plug during the sports report, 3min segment with a live cross to some feral Victorians. Following that they said the Sharks play the Storm in the NRL prelim final, and that was it. Are they confused as to which rights they hold?

Can still purchase up to 8 tickets together in Sydney in Category 2 & 3.

TBF that hasn't always been the case this week.

 

[JamesRustle]

9pm apparently

Rooster and Rabbit fans obviously not the chosen ones.

 

[big hit!]

I really dont get the ticketek system. Yesterday night category 2 was down to single seats and you couldn't purchase two tickets together. How does bay 17 magically open again?

seriously pissed off about this! f**k these ticketek merkins?

they limit the amount of tickets on sale at any one time. cat 2 rabbits on tuesday was bay 56 row m. you can get cat 2 bay 54 now row j. sure, it's still Level 2, but it's further toward centre of field and a few rows closer to the fence, rather than the back corner of the grandstand on tuesday.

their system of auto allocating the seats for you is just shit. bought half priced tix to book of mormon through ticketmaster same day i bought tix to this game. i was able choose section, row and seat and have been able to do this for any ticketmaster event.

i'm sure there are a heap of folks who wnet on early in the week, find out that the seats available are shit, and decide not to bother at all. as if merkins are going to regularly check back to see if better tix are available? we're conditioned to first in best dressed yet the ticketek screw you over. they can f**k right off. so can the NRL and i'll be telling them so right now. make shit hard and folks decide not to go.

Todd was right to not move it. Maybe everyone assumes it is sold out?

the home of Rugby League

Imagine having only one team in a League dominated town of almost 2 mil and not selling out every home game..

 

[big hit!]

FMD. The scheduling for that game is a f**king disgrace.

it would be unfair for Cronulla to get an 8-day break, and Souths only 6 days. For the fairness and integrity of the competition, the right decision was made and both Cronulla and SOuths get 7 days each.

In contrast in the AFL, Collingwood are being heavily disadvantaged with a 6-day break after their semi final. Melbourne are getting an 8-day break. But the AFL GF is on Saturday and Richmond as minor premier and Week 1 final winner are given the advantage - possible 8-day break vs 7 days for the winner of West Coast / Melbourne. There's been a lot of talk in the AFL community about how Collingwood have been f**ked over going into this prelim, and how the AFL got their Week 1 schedule wrong.

The NRL Grand Finalists will get 8 & 9 day break which is less of a concern recovery wise.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

No one cares what the afl are doing.

 

[guyver78]

Game practically sold out, they even gave Souths an additional bay at the Roosters end of the dead ball line.

 

[miguel de cervantes]

hopefully they don't announce a sold out
(a) because it never is and
(b) this always signals to the public to stay at home and watch it on telly

i guess what usually happens is some journo rings up ticketek, asks how things are tracking, they say it is practically or heading towards a sell out, journo spouts sold out headline, gameday comes, 39k, everyone whines.

the nrl need to control the narrative for this sort of thing.

Success brought attention to a team which was once unknown. I don't get your point

I don't really agree with this at all to be honest. Since when is 6 days a short turnaround? The team with the "short turnaround" will get a chance at a longer turnaround for the grand final which is probably a risk many would be willing to take on I'd think.

Plus the minor premiers should have the shot at the longer lead in to the grand final if they win in week 1, instead we cater to a team that lost in week 1.

My point was that if they did not have the success, the game might still be unknown and what would their crowds look like then.

probably the same as sydney crowds
