The Game 2022 Crowd Watch

[Lidcombe Bull]

1999 crowds apart from Melbourne

Melbourne averaged 12,902 in 1999, so actually, they are all very 1999ish crowds

 

[Perth Red]

Gonna be a massive crowd at Campbelltown

But everyone loves suburban grounds?

Stupid argument. The crowd would be the exact same or lower at Bankwest and you know it.

Even though it looked higher 23K is still pretty awesome especially for a team who hasn’t really tasted success in such a long time (one year limping into the finals doesn’t erase all those years of failure).



Yeah it was pretty chockas today and it would have felt really tight with another 10K in there.



I understand the benefit of world clsss stadiums but I f**king love the hill at Newy.

Maybe two years limping into the finals does.

 

[The_Frog]

Why can't we have at least 8 teams that pull a crowd like Newcastle in a stadium like Newcastle...can we ?

Not everyone can have 7 Sunday arvo home games.

Sharks did at the game 11,497 i think it was. SOLD OUT as that is the capacity until the development (Stage one) is completed.

Sorry but that is nothing to be proud of.

You're not saying that Penrith would achieve anything similar if they did have Sunday arvo games are you?

Shit you got me there. No doubt if any of the other clubs in the comp had the immense success like the knights have had in the last 10 years they too could regularly get 20K+ crowds.

Lol yep the knights only get decent crowds on Sunday arvo games. To make it a bit fairer let’s compare knights crowds in the shit 6pm Friday time slot to everyone else to say how things look. I’ll wait.

When you get good crowds you get plum timeslots seems to be how it works. When did they last play a 6pm Friday home game that wasn't Covid affected anyway?

Pre covid the Knights rarely got Sunday games. 2019 two Sundays, 2018 two Sundays 2017 four. Still avg'd more than any Sydney team those three years.

Yeah mine would be similar but I reckon Canberra and Manly will be lower
CRO v SGI 14K
WST v NZW 8K
SOU v SYD 19K
PEN v NEW 11K
MEL v PAR 13K
CAN v GCT 9K
BRI v NQC 39K
MAN v CBY 10K

 

[Perth Red]

Stupid argument. The crowd would be the exact same or lower at Bankwest and you know it.

but it would be nicer facilities, more corporate sales, look more professional on TV and opportunity to get more in with reciprocal agreements or special deal for kiwis. Nothing lost if its the same and still some gains! If it gets less than youd have to question why they are bothering given the crowd is expected to be sub 10k!

You've gone optimistic for friday... tigers game will be a tough draw and the derby numbers will be down at olympic due to the weather

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Here is how Suncorp is looking:
- black line for bays that are pretty much sold out
- purple line for currently selling
- blue line for GA bays which will appear empty as 15% of seats are held from sale
- maroon line for stadium members, will look empty early but fill nicely throughout. If it rains, they will not show. If it is sunny and hot, they will be in the lounges and out of the sun.

Weather isn't that great down at the Gong for the Dragons Sharks match. A good crowd on the main grandstand , and okay-ish on the hill and at the northern/ southern stands. 10k perhaps?
