2019 Crowd Watch

[mozza91]

newcastle would embrace the nines. 25.000 Saturday an 33,000 sellout Sunday'

Nah. It wouldn’t be a sellout here. We’d get a bigger crowd than BankWest though.

 

[siv]

It highlights one of issues with the Stadium

No western stand seating in the shade

Its also why seating needs to be GA

 

[Valheru]

Here is a thought...

Maybe no one gives a f**k about the 9s?

I think combination of:

1) people are apathetic enough about international league events, not to mention gimmicky events

+

2) people are apathetic in Sydney which has too much league saturation

+

3) post the grand final, people start switching off

+

4) No one gives a f**k about 9s. NRL is exciting enough already and the idea of scoring trys literally every set is perhaps overkill

It would do better at the start of the season when everyone is starved of the game.

why though is the important question. It had many of the games best players, playing an open a free flowing fun version of the game in a state of the art stadium.
In a city of 5million where RL is the number one sport it really shouldn’t be too hard to get 25k each day interested enough to go. If I was V’landys the first thing I’d get Todd to do is to sack the marketing and events dept. they are clearly totally useless at their jobs.

Here’s ten things I’d have done differently to fill the place.

1. $30 for both days sit anywhere ticket with free kid ticket with each adult ticket inc public transport
2. Set aside one end for jnr NSWRL clubs. Encouraged them to come in their clubs jerseys and had some give aways and kids stuff going on in stadium
3. Set aside blocks for each nations fans with free flags and face painting etc
4. Prizes after each game for fancy dress in the crowd
5. Beer tent and food village outside the ground so fans can come and go
6. Played it Saturday and Sunday
7. Given the simucast rights to fta, maybe ch10 to test them out for next deal
8. Set a schedule so fans know it’s not just a one off
9. meet the players tent to get autographs and selfies
10. Promote the the thing in a fun and wide spread way

9 minutes a half is too short. Not enough quality int’l teams. The games are over before you know it. Come tomorrow no one will care who won or even care if if it’s on again next year.

Reverting back to the club format may help.

This for me. 12 team comp and a few were ordinary. Atleast with the clubs unpredictable

 

[beave]

why the f**k wasn’t on saturday and sunday? Friday was a ridiculous time slot for it.

TV.

Lunatics running the asylum

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

It wouldn’t do well in Brisbane either. No one there would want to see Mitchell Moses parade around like a little _____.

 

[Marlins]

Not a bad crowd in the Gong, might push 16k.

18,104 for test match, reasonable crowd but does make you wonder what else better there is to do in Wollongong on a Friday night?

 

[Warriors Fever]

Realistically win doesn’t hold much more than 19k. Crowd looked packed on tv no spare space visible. Don’t know why there needs to be a negative slant put on it at all.

Yeah hes a little ______ , now i know why the Broncos where chasing him.

They love signing little _____. haha

You could do worse than chase the little _____.

The little ____ came 3rd on the Dally m voting.

there were quite a few spare seats in the stands.

Last two Aus vs NZ crowds in Aus
2017 18k CBR
2016 20k PER

18k seems par, especially for regional area

I think in Gosford, Newcastle, Canberra etc it would get closer to 25k.
