2019 Crowd Watch

[Perth Red]

It's mostly everything that you guys claim is good. Seats, big bars, big food areas, big walkways and fire escapes.

All it has wrong with it is a shit view.

Sht view, miles from the action and 50k too many seats. But yeh apart from that its a great example of what a modern sports stadium should be for NRL clubs!

Yeah but no crowd
So it’s the same as a small venue that is full...according these blokes.

Yeh great justification. Anz is sht, so its ok for us to play at sht grounds.

 

[Timmah]

Like people focusing on Manlys crowd in their shit suburban ground but conveniently forgetting the Bulldogs heaps worse crowd in a big stadium?

Manly's crowd averages over time have been fairly poor, hence they face more scrutiny.

Last year they averaged 11,232 per game, ahead of only the Eels (who were playing at an alternative ground and finished last).

Since 2015, they've only cracked 15k on three occasions - by contrast they've pulled in a sub-10k crowd seventeen times in the same period.

Compare that to the Bulldogs (ANZ only for consistency's sake) - only nine games sub-10k, which have been offset by the fact they've topped 15k on thirty occasions (and that even excludes finals).

It's not about picking on Manly or not picking on the Bulldogs - Friday's crowd was atrocious. But Brookvale either needs serious investment sooner than later, or Manly's future at that venue has to be called into question.

According to you
ANZ is shit
So is every other ground except ones in England that are used for a totally different sport.
and brand new modern stadiums on opening night.

Manly have the unlucky situation of being in a spot that is one of the most diabolically hard places to get to in Sydney.

As I stated above
ANZ is the easiest joint to get to.
It has a bloody train station on its door step.


I seriously doubt you blokes even consider these things.

Of course we do, that's not the point you were making lol. You've just completely switched the discussion as though you were making my point

It sounds as though you concede my point that Manly's attendances are an issue - and transport, along with Brookvale's facilities, are key to that.

Will we actually see movement on either point?

For the Rund 7 Roosters v Wests Tigers game on Saturday night, you can get a Super Saver family deal, as per the following screenshot -



So you get 4 x General Admission tickets, with a voucher which you can redeem at the ground for 4 x hot dogs, 4 x buckets of chips, and 4 x bottle of water. This come at a total cost of $80. (Screenshot taken from the Sydney Roosters website home page).

The new SFS will surpass it when built. Light rail is a game changer for the city.

If you work in the CBD (which a lot of us do i assume) - getting out to Homebush for a Friday night game is a pain in the nut hole. You either f**k around on non-direct trains or sit in a carpark for 2hrs to travel 10km

 

[Western_Eel]

i wouldnt say ANZ is easy to get to but its definitely easier than brooky or Allianz

 

[Western_Eel]

i still think they should knock down ANZ and build 60k stadium to replace it

 

[Marlins]

Rabbits v Broncos 10k
Cowboys v Titans 12k
Sharks v Storm 13k
Raiders v Panthers 9k
Manly v Bulldogs 12k
Roosters v Tigers 14k
Warriors v Knights 13k
Eels v Dragons 26k

Should end up with around 14k Average

60k is too small as ANZ is used for things besides the NRL.

I don’t work in the city
And if changing trains is an issue for people then they’ll probably watch it on tv.
Because there is never going to be any other easier way to get to the footy than a train to the front door step.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Raiders v Panthers 14k

Does McDonalds Park hold that many?

 

[Marlins]

Does McDonalds Park hold that many?

I forgot the games there. Lols.
I don’t know the capacity?
Edit: google says highest crowd was 9.5k, at a city/country match, a few years ago.

 

[BlueandGold]

Rabbits v Broncos 10k
Cowboys v Titans 12k
Sharks v Storm 13k
Raiders v Panthers 14k
Manly v Bulldogs 12k
Roosters v Tigers 14k
Warriors v Knights 13k
Eels v Dragons 26k

Should end up with around 14.5k Average

Everything looks good except the Cowboys v Titans game. Hopefully 15k.

What?
Switched?
Pfft try again.

I pointed out how manly got more people to Brookvale than the dogs got to ANZ
According to you blokes Brookvale only got 10k because because of the ground and it’s facilities.
What is the dogs excuse?

I’d say definitely if it was played on Saturday.

A bit of poetic license there carch!

Allianz (before and after)
Bankwest
Robina
AAMI
Marathon
Suncorp
all good stadiums. and NQ when its built
Its a sad reflection on the sports standing in Sydney and the low expectations in Australia that there are so few decent modern rectangular stadiums
Mt Smart, Panthers, Sharks, Manly, Dragons, Tigers and ANZ are problematic for future growth of the sport.

ps I include Bankwest Park (Perth) in the problematic list, it needs another 5k capacity and better corporate facilities into the future.

Again, the ground. ANZ is sht for club games, for the nineteenth time!
