Didn’t realise it was a secret. Thankfully even the lowest of those averages is still higher than any fictitious Perth team will ever get.
Yep you’ve peddled this stupidity before. Who are you comparing to? Give us an identical comparison? Swans pull fans from all over Sydney to average about 30 odd thousand yet only the roosters are too blame.
Why would your ignorance upset me? I’ve just provided you some facts to disprove the claims you constantly repeat. Why don’t you respond to my questions? What exact comparison do you have? Are you saying that if swans played at Anz instead of scg dogs and Souths wouldn’t have let them succeed? Pearce is smarter now hahahaha. I actually agree. He is feigning injury to avoid origin. Clever.
This is a weird attempt to use stats to discredit someone's position tbh.
The gist of his argument is that the roosters are the ONLY team in Australia that have allowed a foreign code to outdo it in its own backyard. Yet the same rival team plays multiple games over an extended period of time in a different precinct of Sydney where it outdoes those local nrl teams and you are questioning how my stats are relevant. Really? What difference does the number of games make??
As I recall, very few didn't see how bad it was going to be.
Tbh it has been better than I expected , at least as far as our seats go. We are in chookpen in oreilly stand and view is better than I expected. The let down early on was lack of a game clock and tackle count which they’ve addressed and the screen opposite us is too small to get a decent look at replays. I think some of the other seats however are really bad and can understand why people are turned off. For the greater good hopefully.
It really is incredible how often some Roosters fans throw up strawman arguments to deflect from the fact they are grossly underperforming when it comes to crowd figures and member numbers.
Yes. Limiting the matches to 3-4 a year meant there was adequate supply v demand. A fulltime move to ANZ would have been unpopular with the fanbase, they were often calling for the joint to be abandoned for many years, crowds slid significantly from 2011 to the point where the Swans left the deal a year early in 2015 and haven't played there since.
Read back through any of my posts over the years and I have always said roosters crowds are atrocious. But our crowds are far from the worst and when people make ridiculous statements like T boon I will point it out. The facts are that the swans played many games there and averaged better crowds than they do at scg. They are the only facts on offer. Even if swans moved to Anz and assuming you are right and their crowds dropped they’d still pull 20-25000 which is still far greater than dogs and particularly souffs. His argument is that the roosters are responsible. It wouldn’t matter where swans played in Sydney they’d outdo all nrl teams.
Using subjective wording like "many games" isn't factual. I pointed out the facts in my previous post about number of matches played at ANZ Stadium vs SCG and there is a serious disparity in the figures you're quoting.
I’m not using the swans to prove anyone is doing poorly I’m saying that if you compare any Sydney club to swans they will struggle give the exact reason you have stated. They don’t have 8 other clubs to compete with. So t boons assertion that the chooks have somehow failed being the only club to be outdone is ridiculous. I’m not bagging dogs or Souffs I’m just using his own logic to compare.
Roosters are the only club head to head with the Swans in that precinct though, that's probably what T-Boon is getting at. Agreed its a poor comparison when they have less competition for fans though.
Sounds like a great idea. I wonder if the NSW Government have thought of it?
