2019 Crowd Watch

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

Or maybe just schedule games at suburban grounds for Saturday or Sunday afternoons, because that's where the nostalgia lies.

Or maybe f*ck of suburban grounds all together....

What happened to "suburban grounds are where fans wanna go"? If a Suburban ground ALSO needs a decent derby AND a decent slot, it is clearly not that much of a drawcard.

If you have a good slot and a good opposition, play it at a good stadium and draw a good crowd.

Saints and Souths was not a decent slot. Thursday night isn't fan friendly. However I've seen or heard nothing about cheaper Thursday night tickets!? Absolutely nothing. That's poor marketing on my books!

Why does the clash NEED a decent slot fans cant get enough of the suburbs?

Couldn't agree more.

Didn't read that right did you!? Cheaper tickets on Thursdays should be marketed and well publicised for Thursday games. That's it ! Nothing else stated.

45,023 Suncorp

Awesome crowd. They didn’t release standing room for this game for some reason.

 

[Irish-bulldog]

QLD boosting crowd figures again , decent crowd in Canberra 14,000

Yes true everyone loves going to the big stadiums especially if they are from Penrith or Manly

I’m sure we would have got a massive 13000 for this clash at ANZ

No way there was 45 k there, what is the stadiums capacity?

Was plenty of spare seats all over the place, heaps of them from what I saw.

 

[Warriors Fever]

A great crowd in Canberra as well 14,030 it’s a shame the raiders have been given some bad time slots for their next few home games but hopefully the team is competitive. It appears Canberra responds to a decent team.

52 500 is the capacity. It's easy to tell a big crowd at Suncorp just look for people in the top tier.

I reckon there was about 5000 spare seats.

Haha... I’ve been to almost every broncos game since Suncorp opened and I am shocked that there were ONLY 45k there.

Best to only comment on stadiums that you are very familiar with.

Stadium members were decent, refer to upper lower bowl (not the cages, they are corporates) and middle tier:

Most of the empty seats are in the purposely unsold general admission areas, see middle tier near corners:

What is that black box on the pole?

Capacity is 52500.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Capacity is 52500.

Yep, however they do have approval to go to 53,000 for origins with standing room. But usually only sell to 52,600. Trying to find the writing.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

What is that black box on the pole?

Not sure, speaker or something. Surely only brought out during the conversions

round 2 and we're already hearing the excuses, and theres only one solution to "to many games in sydney"..

Even if there is too much choice, wouldn't 2 local, traditional rivals be one of the games to watch?

And if the suburban grounds are too hard to get to then whats the point of playing at them? Isn't that the whole point of them?
I get this year it couldn't of happened but if the sfs was still open would it of gotten any less?

Not that at all. I am going to 15 games this year. Bathurst next week included but the round 6 against Sharks on a Thurs night doesn't suit.

I am sure many others are in the same boat where they can't attend every game so you choose

Where does it say to be a fan of your team you need to go to every game?

 

[franklin2323]

Solid arguments for relocation and centralised stadiums...

Lets see what % the Broncs crowd drops for next Thurs.

Parra v Roosters next Friday might at a centralised stadium it won't draw 20k
