2019 Crowd Watch

[Tallon Smith]

Hmm I'm backing that last night would have gotten more as separate fixtures.

15k at WSS (even at 6PM friday) and 30k for a manly home game at Suncorp.

Today's games would get IMO about the capacity of Suncorp. 10-15k for dogs depending on location, 15k for warriors and 20k plus for storm.

Tomorrow you are probably looking at 10k for each game so Suncorp should do better there.

They are all separate crowds. Every game is counted on its own.

Why? I got there late. Traffic held me up! I got lost and arrived late etc etc. if you paid to go and went that should be enough.

Thought you couldn’t go to games this year?

So 1 crowd gets counted twice.

They can spin it any way they want, it doesn't change the total individual people who attended.

 

[Valheru]

The thing is, if someone watches both games, why shouldn't they be counted twice?

When I attend multiple games in a normal round I am included in both crowds!

With the possible exception of Sunday, it would be impossible to attend more than one game on the same day at normal home venues this weekend.

The NRL is clearly trying to spin their narrative that the crowds are higher than they otherwise would be but comparing the total crowd yesterday and (expected) today to what they would have got at normal home venues tells a different story IMO.

They get charged twice though. I think a day ticket is $90 where i was sitting

I was giving hypothetical reasons silly!

Pretty simple concept really

Let’s face it - crowds are as irrelevant as they have ever been in the history of the game. They are pure dressing for the stage. As long as it looks ok, she’s sweet.

 

[Zadar]

It is listed as 35,122 for the Tigers v Panthers, and 41,388 for Broncos v Sea Eagles on NRL.COM in the results section. They are separate crowds. That is how they will be counted towards the average.

So it is not really and treally a 35k crowd for panthers and tigers.

I find it impressive that 76,000 people fitted into a 50,000 seat stadium

Thankfully you’re here to deliver it!

Keep whatever you invariably said about me to TFC, Dave, and stick with the subject at hand for once.

Hmm. You raised the issue of trolls which is off topic. It wasn’t me. My contribution as can be seen above has been entirely on topic. What a funny man you are!

 

[Disinterested third party]

Back to crowds though and away from the subject of transparent trolls such as Cumberland and Shark, the round has been a decent addition. Adelaide is an obvious place to take it.

Point to any trolling behaviour by me in this discussion. Put up or shut up.

SPOT ON!!! The pure stupidity of individual crowd counting haha it’s laughable.

Bet Greenberg will come out & hail it as a success too & pat himself on the back.

No matter what way you look at this facts are facts, they COULDN’T even fill out a stadium where you had the home team featured on top of a double header.

In 2014 when Souths played Brisbane on Anzac Day they got 46K from memory.

Crowds are down and declining even more this year & this magic round is just another DSIMAL FAILURE.

Crowds are stable this year. They are not declining.

Ok. I’ll answer your question. You have been outed as an obvious troll elsewhere. What you say on this particular thread is irrelevant.

Now back to crowds. How is Sat looking re sales? Still better than Fri?

 

[T-Boon]

The success of the Magic round so far has me convinced that Manly needs to start taking 4 to 6 of its games each year to the Sunshine Coast and there needs to be a second Brisbane team.
