2019 Crowd Watch

[BlueandGold]

How did Parra average attendance fair (also had much better on field performance)

I don't think WSS will have much impact on increasing attendance for other teams that played there

Parra faired well.

Ave crowd at Bankwest for Eels 21.2k.

 

[Stallion]

Wow this game will struggle to get 25k by the looks of it.

Or Souths and Roosters fans are waiting for pay Day.

Lets hope its the latter.

They are. And a bit of certainty as to the weather I suggest?

 

[Suitman]

Eels ave at Bankwest is 21.2k.

Thanks mate.
So, already averaging over 20 k's throughout an average to good season.
So much potential!
I actually reckon that, given a Roosters type successful run of seasons, the Eels could average upwards of 25000 or above.

Assume pax doesn’t include all the members

 

[Cumberland Throw]

I can't believe we are somewhat bagging the results of bankwest stadium..

Name one other new Sydney stadium that has actually successfully got a team to average 20k plus at home..

Did sfs help roosters in 1988 ?
Did kogarah upgrade help at George in 2003?
Did ANZ really help bulldogs in 2004?

That’s with 2 of the 7 being Friday at 6.

One of their biggest crowds was Friday 6pm . I'm thinking that 6pm Friday in places like Newcastle , Parramatta and Canberra are reasonably attractive for fans in these areas.

As I've said 6.30 would be better.

2 of them where Thursday also.

Against Panthers (16.2k, lowest at Bankwest) and Dogs 18k.

The Rabbitohs Supporters section sold out at 2pm yesterday after 4 hours of being on sale and the Roosters Supporters bay only today, so nice try.

We will outnumber the Roosters supporters on Friday night like we do at all their "home" games.

? Trying at what ? I've suggested a big crowd. And looks like it's happening? Hope it's a sellout!

 

[The Vaulting Violinist]

It’ll go close to selling out imo

I don’t watch anything on FTA or get papers...is the publicity ok so far?

Original parra stadium average 20k in the 1st year, then the eels went on that horrible decade of shit till the sl war.

I misread the post as a Rabbitohs fans payday / Centrelink dig that I usually see online and for once it wasn’t!

I’m holding out on getting my tickets as they still seem to only be selling tickets on the side where the TV coverage is. When I called Ticketek they mentioned that they are being held by the NRL are aren’t available yet. Our ticketing system sucks. You should be able to select any seat you want (similar to what you can do on the Opera House website, StubHub overseas etc).

No you won't and you never have.

See the prelim last year as an example.

Don't forgot SCG members and roosters fans are generally one in the same.

 

[Perth Red]

Isn't it great when the taxpayers pay for your nice new stadium.

Pretty sure the govt would welcome any Sydney club playing there if they choose to.

I'm sure they would too and the Bulldogs and Tigers have already taken it up, but both clubs don't really have a satisfactory ground and it hasn't exactlt been a spectacular success. It's the heart of enemy territory in any case. Parramatta can expect to draw a good crowd in Parramatta. No-one else can unless its novelty value.

Maybe if they made it "home" rather than just the odd game then their fans would take to it more?
I dont see problems in other sports with clubs sharing a stadium and it feeling like home to them. If it is Eeels stadium that you use every now and again of course it will feel like enemy territory, but if all your games are there and on game day its decked out with your colours etc then it will soon feel like home. You would be a bit crazy as a fan to prefer ANZ over Bankwest I'd have thought?

That's a great outcome and shows what a new stadium can do. I love their GA membership which admits a Jnr for free, that's the way you fill stadiums!

Wouldn't work with the Panthers. Most Panthers fans feel unbridled hatred towards Parra - It's not rational, but it's there. As a Panthers fan, I could never happily share anything with the Eels...
