2019 Crowd Watch

[Stallion]

16000plus @ Wollongong ? Think there's alot more people in tv camera side grandstand than normal.

 

[Saint Doc]

No sellout in the current configuration which would be 22-23k.

Record crowd was a 19.5k sellout against Cronulla before the new West stand.

And that was in 2005.

And yet every no hoper on this forum constantly says “relocate the dragons to Wollongong permanently”.

Would be a disaster for crowds.

I agree. I think it looks over 16k

Good crowd.

 

[BlueandGold]

Currently averaging 16565 per game after 5 with Eels vs Tigers still to come.

Raiders vs Broncos 13k
Titans vs Knights 13k

Eels vs Tigers 28,800

Looking like a crowd ave of about 17.3k for this round.

Well Sharks who have been middle of the road so far got 10,000 + on a weekday night playing a struggling out Sydney team who brought few ,because of that time and schedule.Whereas the Storm had a replay of the 2018 Grand final on a public holiday between the two in form teams and got 17,000 in an modern all seater stadium.
I wouldn't be leaping over the moon with joy.The Shark's crowd was ordinary and so by comparison was the Storm's

A weekday night? Let’s not pretend this was a usual Thursday night. Friday was a public holiday so there was nothing wrong with the Thursday time slot.

The storm crowd was below par no question but it in no way makes the sharks crowd look any better.

A typical response from someone who has little idea of Sydney traffic infrastructure on weekdays..Sydney is not Melbourne.
Thursday was a working day in Sydney,like any other week day.Penrith is on the far outskirts of West Sydney ,Cronulla the other.The overwhelming number of fans in attendance were Shark's fans.

The next day being a public holiday has little effect on people trying to get home from work in Penrith and getting to Cronulla and then driving back to get home with family
That's why I stated I'd expect 13,000 on a weekend game there.
I stated both crowds were ordinary, open your eyes.But the Storm's game was on a holiday,that's a big difference.

I haven't bought tickets for a while, but the round 8 game at Parra between the Eels and Dragons, they're only selling bronze seats I assume that means that it's close to being sold out?

Correct. About 2/3rds of the seating is club members as far as I understand.

Tits will get close to 8

 

[Marlins]

Tits will get close to 8

The Titans first day home game of the year, and first non raining game. Also on the back of a good win. Should easily Beat out their first two games.
12k-15k

Damn. Lucky I have memberships.

Titans are snake bit when it comes to weather this year. Looks like another rainy day here. Hopefully it clears up because I'm going to this one.
Was hoping for a nice Sunday afternoon at the footy in the sun.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

I wonder how many seats at BankWest they kept vacant to ease opening pressures.

They did the same at Suncorp and Optus stadium in Perth, makes sense for the staff. Maybe about 10% GA seating kept from sale.

Corporate packages might be hard to sell on Easter Monday regardless of it being the opening. Mind you I could probably search to see if any are available still.

12000 would be ok figure for Gold Coast game today. The intriguing game will be Canberra v Broncos. I'm hoping it achieves a surprise crowd pushing 20000 with good weather and a very good Raiders side in action against a bigtime rival. CROSSING FINGERS!

Raiders and long weekends are a difficult mix. Like many Canberra locals, I'm out of town this weekend so won't be attending. Massive portion of the population heads to the coast or goes to visit families in other cities.

A big crowd would be a nice surprise - the 16,000 last weekend was a good effort so hopefully some of those return.

Long weekends are no good for Canberra. Half the population leaves the joint, especially on Easter weekend.
