The Game 2020 Crowd Watch

[Perth Red]

Less than 15k for the second day of the nines? The most exciting day when the winner will be found. Disappointing. I guess Perth fans just don't care about rugby league

75% capacity sold. Good result

 

[Perth Red]

imagine the crowds that would watch Perth reds losing again

Beautiful weather, whole saturday of play and less than a sharks home crowd. Must hurt.

Sharks avg 12,224 epic fail of a post

 

[Perth Red]

Another expansion event deliberately cocked up by the NRL.

If you think this is reflective of Perth's interest or suitability for a new team you're a moron.

Parra drew a total of 27,000 to the 9s in October (again thanks to the NRLs inept scheduling and promotion)
Guess the Eels should get the chop then.

they mostly are lol

they mostly are lol

The venn diagram of 'people who are against expansion' and 'people who support outer suburban teams who almost go broke annually' is a circle

 

[King hit]

they mostly are lol

Just imagine if you watched Australian rugby you would be screaming at the moon non stop

Let’s forget about Perth

Too much rust

They will - no more World 9s at Bankwest

Just to give some perspective to you handringers, last three nines comps

Auckland 22k
Sydney28k
Perth 25k

If they’d made the event for the fans instead of Fox we would have easily topped 30k, tv rules as we all know by now.

I do wonder if you understand that most people - even those who insult you - are likely in favour of Perth expansion - they just prefer to rile you up because of your carry on?

Shhhh. This is some of the most fun we've had in years on this site.

What a naive comment. The NRL relies on TV to survive.

Its actually a good argument against perth. If you can't play early games there to suit live TV because of the heat, then its a problem.

Not sure the heat will be an issue in winter?

Temperatures at 4/5pm in February at would be a lot different to April-September I would imagine

 

[Billythekid]

Tbh it's a quality event - with second rate organisation.

Yeah but it’s like most international rugby league. The quality of the product doesn’t mean shit if the organisers and marketing is worthless.

I reckon Saturday and Sunday you get 14k both days. The crowd wasn’t superb but not a disaster either. The Saturday atmosphere came through the tv and seemed nice. Much better than the Sydney 7s which I don’t think they published a crowd figure for.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Broncos have put their first home game on sale v Souths Today. Looks like about 23-24k sold so far, inclusive of members. Pretty good for now, might push 37-40k come game day.

Sunday would have gone close to selling out imo, agree Saturday would have been around 14-15k. Biggest difference is they would have sold a lot more 2 day tickets.
But sadly nrl is a tv product these days so screw the fans. I wonder how much fox paid for the coverage and if it was more that the $500k they lost in ticket sales?

The Auckland figure quote was day 2. Total was 40k. And that was year 4. Year 1 combined crowd was 85k.

Yeah didn’t consider two day ticket appeal. I’m more pissed off that someone in the Media tried to justify this as no more Perth. How many games is Perth getting this year?
