2019 Crowd Watch

[unforgiven]

Another sellout at Penrith! Imagine if we had a stadium like Parra!
I think Penrith have had more sellouts than any other team in the competition over the padt 3 or 4 seasons!

Imagine if there was a reason to build a new stadium in Penrith!

 

[Stallion]

21086? Around that.

21k pissed off fans at the ineptness of their team.

Dubious refereeing decisions will have the fans furious! The Novocastrians know when their team.has been shafted.

 

[forby]

There are more reasons for a stadium in Penrith than just about anywhere else, especially anywhere else in NSW.
Regardless of what Newcastle might claim, the true heartland of RL is in Penrith. It has more junior clubs than some clubs have junior teams. It attracts a greater percentage of its residents to games than anybody else!

 

[Stallion]

That’s an amazing crowd. I think we’re going to see a lot more 6pm games in Newcastle going forward. The fans are showing up in numbers when so many other clubs can barely attract enough to fill a tent.

I don’t mind actually, it’s one of my preferred time slots for attending games.

In Newcastle plenty of fans prefer Friday night 6pm and Saturday night 5.30pm. It's attractive for both younger kids and elderly.

 

[Diesel]

I don’t mind Friday 6pm, for the right venue, it gets the younger families and kids in

One team uses it, it is council owned so it is a no to Penrith.

 

[insert.pause]

so what are the excuses for Souths tonight? The bandwagon disappeared after 2014.

 

[Billythekid]

You're the one.

Knights crowds would suggest otherwise.

 

[Apey]

I feel like Knights fans will mostly turn up in any time slot so they're giving us the shittest one.

 

[insert.pause]

12k at ANZ

Embarrassing

Nope. Less turn up for the later night games overall. Just look at the crowd figures.(Weather permitting ) Older people (pensioners etc) and younger families prefer the earlier timeslots. And Newcastle doesn't have the traffic issues of Sydney.

 

[Diesel]

One Newcastle crowd outdraws two Sydney crowds

And 6pm on a Friday night!

It also seems pretty good around town. Pubs were well packed at 7pm tonight everyone watching.

Penrith fans drop off badly when the team is losing. They are the worst at this. Also they don’t travel, even as far as Parramatta. I’d probably relocate Penrith.

 

[AtholSmith]

Well, I got entrance to the MCG members tonight first time, big precinct of bars, restaurants etc must be 15-20k in here and a mill in alcohol sales and I don’t even think I’m exaggerating, there has to be a dollar in crowds

Most people always renew their MCC membership as i'm pretty sure there is a 90,000+ members on the waiting list, so one in, one out. I have a mate who's dads a tour guide there, and he even signed their newborn up for a membership the day after he was born to cut that waiting time down. He said, most people go their on Friday/saturday nights, get their 2 hours before kick off, have dinner. a drink then watch the footy. Must be a good life.

 

[Perth Red]

So it’s more important to have the best talent in league playing French Rugby?

Less than 40% of the tv revenue goes to players, a reduced deal for more fan friendly times doesn’t need to cost us any players.

So if not the salary cap where do the cuts land?

 

[Brutus]

Souths fans drop off when they are winning these days.
