2019 Crowd Watch

[Perth Red]

So if not the salary cap where do the cuts land?

Somewhere out of the remaining $300million a year I suppose. I wonder how much would be lost from shifting a Thursday night to Sunday?

Well I guessed that much myself.

There are more reasons for a stadium in Penrith than just about anywhere else, especially anywhere else in NSW.
Regardless of what Newcastle might claim, the true heartland of RL is in Penrith. It has more junior clubs than some clubs have junior teams. It attracts a greater percentage of its residents to games than anybody else!

In terms of crowds Penrith is nowhere comparable to Newcastle. You're having a laugh if you think Penrith is rl heartland. How then do you explain your historically low attendances.

You have a city with a population around 450000 and get 20-25k at a government funded stadium.
Penrith is around 200000 with a council owned stadium and get 15-20k. We have more sellouts than any other team in the NRL over the past 3 or 4 seasons. How many has Newcastle had? Zero sounds about right!
We have more juniors than Newcastle.
I could keep going, but you would never agree with the facts!

Lol forby. Up there with Stallion for troll posts.

Parra should be pretty good today you would think. Afternoon at BankWest with good NZ fan support.

People still use theories that rely on entire crowds coming from within a strict population area?

In regional teams of course it works

Friday night at ANZ of course the crowd was bad

Parramatta have been doing pretty well in the new place with generally favourable timeslots. But no better really than when the previous one was new. Wests Tigers not nearly as good.

Because most tigers fans hate the joint.

But these are the same tigers fans who reckon we should play out of Leichhardt oval for the rest of our existence

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Titans v broncos looks to be heading for 16-18k... unless 4,000 more hop on the trains south!

Which Penrith is!

If that happens, it won't be long.

Absolute record breaking scenes at Henson Park today.

I can’t post a picture from my phone but it’s freaking RAMMED and I reckon they have eclipsed the ironic 8972 number for real.

 

[Frank Discussion]

Just got a text from Alby on the Jets board. He said they are announcing 8972 but the real figure is 9500.

Parra seems kinda average. Reaaaaaally don't think BankWest haas translated into any uptick in crowds for Parramatta.

Maybe you should stop thinking of Bankwest as some crowd savior, and start thinking about it being a modern facility that respects fans who attend. The game needed a comfortable, modern facility in a heartland area, and Bankwest provides it.

Wrong thread

100%

Most Tigers fans are stuck in the 80s though
