2019 Crowd Watch

[Perth Red]

Great crowd for 6pm in Sydney, I guess that puts to bed that people can’t get to games for a 6pm KO in Sydney?

Crap crowd in melbourne, we are so lazy at trying to fill stadiums.

Fux said it? Must be right then. Like looking something up on the net.

Yes

After all the games all year
This is the best of the best.
2 Sydney clubs at a suburban venue.

Ha

Hope it’s a “draw”

 

[Suitman]

If it ends up Eels v Tigers I feel sorry for Tigers fans. They've waited so long for a finals game but only around 5K will be able to go once the Eels members get their seats.

The advantage off getting a home final. The home team should always have first and majority digs at tickets. Not sure what is wrong with that and why you should feel sorry for Tigers fans, or whoever the away team will be.

Secured premiership. Playing a meaningless game against a shit team. auskick finals game between two melbourne teams across the road.

Stop it.

I got stuck having to work but TBH wasn't even that fazed, already won the minor premiership, a final locked in for next week, players rested (im actually surprised by how many are playing), an opposition who are pretty useless this year, Im guessing 90k next door so trains and trams would of been sardine cans, and parking non-existant, the radio was saying protesters in the city were holding up trams and traffic, and add to that it was raining most the day, with a even bit of hail in the afternoon.

I don't think you could expect much for this game, hopefully it atleast cracks 10k

Sharks v Tigerpies at Leichhardt.

There ya go.

The people have spoken

No truer words spoken.By the people ,for the people and with the people's money.

How hard is it to estimate a crowd at bankwest..

Basically pick a number and add 8k

Great Sydney crowd tonight.

I assume there are a lot of Storm AND MCG members/Collingwood fans, which is why the Melbourne crowd would have been low.

A lot of Storm fans also follow AFL, no surprise if they decide to watch a top 4 quarter final instead of a dead rubber at AAMI Park.

93k at the MCG too, when was the last time 105k people attended sporting events in Sydney on a single night?

 

[PARRA_FAN]

I know people that went to the AFL wouldve definitely gone to the NRL if they didn't clash.

Ah no it doesn’t, did you see how empty it was at kick off? It took half an hour of the match before it filled up, in what world is this an ideal timeslot? People won’t usually pay for a ticket to see half a game.

You are kind of right about laziness but do you have solutions?

Same. Usual group of 6 was cut down to just 2 of us for that reason

yeah...one was a final the other a dead rubber.

Storms crowd will be big next week when the game means something.

Usually these massively hyped games end up being f**king aids though

Honestly would probably crack 50k at homebush. But yeah, eels deserve their home final

I don't think it's that simple. The brilliant thing about Parramatta stadium is it's embedded within the Parramatta CBD. Literally within a 5-10min walking distance of the centre and people who have just finished working on a Friday night; other Sydney stadiums are not as well placed (ANZ in particular). Makes me think that 6pm is not a bad slot for Parra on a Friday night at all.

Anyone know if that was the first 6pm Parra home game at Bankwest?

Ha
Yep
Our biggest derby Dragons v sharks usually ends up a drop ball a thon.

 

[T-Boon]

Anyone know if that was the first 6pm Parra home game at Bankwest?

No they had one already.

 

[footy75]

yeah but they hold so much interest... who will choke the hardest.

 

[T-Boon]

Get rid of the 6pm Friday game or at least make it 630pm. That would still mean you can have an 8pm kick off for the second game.
And the local pubs will be happy with office workers sitting around their establishment from 5pm until 615.
