2019 Crowd Watch

[Panther_Daz]

Hasn't rained since 2pm. So lets hope that is it and keeps no one away

Raining in Penrith now.

I remember Clive Palmer locking fans out of a Gold Coast United game because he didn't want to pay the full fare for the stadium. He capped the crowd at 2,500 or something so they didn't have to open all the stands. Not sure if that's how all the grounds structure their deals though.

Anyway. They might lose money doing what you said anyway.

9,500 x $30= $285,000

14,000 x $15= $210,000.

That's a "two for one" example.

That's if you can convince the extra 4,500 to turn up, which you probably can't because they are busy anyway.

These are all just made up figures for an example. Obviously you'd still be getting some people paying full prices for better seats etc. Also, members are already committed... but I'd imagine the real maths would work out with a loss too.

f**k losing more money.

A $5 or $10 mate offer for members loses nothing. Someone just mentioned you could take someone for free! Seriously? Free entry and we still can’t crack 10k people?

Bradman stand is for roosters members. I was sitting there.

In context do you think that is a worse effort than dragons/south's?

On par. Anything 10k or less we should be frustrated about. There’s reasons. But god it’s a bad look for a game that wants to be taken seriously as the major football code in Australia. I’m staggered the nrl are so apathetic about it.

Are they apathetic or clueless?

The money is in the TV. Crowds are "extra". Nurture them right and you get growth centres supporting NRL and NRL teams and get the teams stronger.

Fish where the fish are.

Only partly true, the easy money is in the tv. Clubs who’ve built decent fanbases earn more from game day and their fan base than the tv grant. It’s onLY100% true for the nrl, for clubs they could be making a lot more from fans than tv if they tried, or the games structure allowed.

 

[Perth Red]

Are they apathetic or clueless?

With $500million you’d think they would be able to buy a clue, so I must presume it’s apathy.

 

[Burns]

I know its against the Titans, but the Warriors crowd looks disappointing.

I think they tried with Top 8 v Top 8 clashes

But fans are just not interested in going to a midweek game

Be it ThNF or MNF(non long weekend) or the old Midweek Cup. They have all been poor crowd drawing games

Love to know how many 20k plus crowds we ever had

 

[Stallion]

Looks about 16-17000 @ Penrith.

 

[DC_fan]

Looks about 16-17000 @ Penrith.

Given the pathetic weather the area had this afternoon it looks to be a very good crowd

 

[Stallion]

Just over 14000 @ Penrith. Looked about 13000 in Auckland?

No one could seriously criticise the crowd at Penrith. It really was quite wet here this afternoon and into the evening

 

[footy75]

Yep crowd looked good at Penrith...with or without rain good turn out.

 

[mave]

Yeah good timing too Kids sport starts next week. Souths in form you'd think 15k for this one

Really?
My young bloke has his first game of the season at 1pm today.
Rules out 5 people getting to Brookvale by 3pm.

 

[Miller was a legend]

Yep crowd looked good at Penrith...with or without rain good turn out.

Feel sorry for every single one of them turning up for that game
