The Game 2022 Crowd Watch

[baselinepanther]

Got the figure off ausstadiums they’re usually spot on with the official crowds. Maybe it was swans Twitter or something that gave the 12k figure

an aflol team inflating a crowd ... well I never !!

 

[baselinepanther]

I somewhat agree with this, however it was only a few years ago they did this and teams like Manly and Cronulla were pulling 12K to their week 1 finals at the SFS. Is this what you want?

If it's an all Sydney final then yes I'd expect one of the bigger venues to be used. But for week 1 V an out of town team I'd rather a packed suburban ground. This wouldn't be such an issue if Shark Park's capacity wasn't 12K.

i think if the NRL had stuck to its guns & everyone knew that finals weren't being played anywhere else , then we'd of fixed this already.

Theres no scenario where any of the suburban grounds in Sydney should be used IMO

Surely sub 10k at Commbank

 

[Iamback]

Surely sub 10k at Commbank

but but everyone will turn up

Just need to put games on there

 

[Warriors Fever]

I don’t know I reckon there is about 11k or so. Much more than Campbelltown woulda got

 

[baselinepanther]

Surely sub 10k at Commbank

the home mob got beaten by 66 last week in case you missed it & are on track for the wooden spoon

even a slighly better year from both sides & it gets 15K plus
a lot more then Leichardt or Campbelltown

 

[Perth Red]

Yeh I’m sure people are falling over themselves to go watch these two bludgers play haha, would have sold out a suburban ground no doubt, well would have if that ground had a sub 10k capacity!

I remember the days where every finals game was at the SFS, no one complained and you had a number of neutral fans turn up.

Finals rules should be as follows

In week 1:
Sydney clubs can play at Commbank/SFS
Brisbane and Dolphins can play at Suncorp
Titans at Cbus
Knights at McDonald Jones
Cowboys at QCB
Storm at AAMI
Raiders at GIO
Warriors at Mt Smart

Then week 2-3:
Sydney clubs and Newcastle Accor/SFS
Brisbane, Dolphins and Titans at Suncorp
Raiders at GIO (too far from Sydney)
Cowboys at QCB (too far from Brisbane)
Storm at AAMI/Marvel
Warriors at Mt Smart/Eden Park

Grand Final always in Sydney (and Magic Round should always be Brisbane)

 

[SouthsCountry]

It was 12k not 5k so your eyes are dogshit

It was in fact 8,264...soooooooo

 

[SouthsCountry]

Only you and the miserable sad sack PR would complain about 3 Finals sell outs
The 4th in Roosters v Souffs will be 35-40k

Great result for RL

Sorry you're mistaken

No just some games are duds. The venue plays very little in it

 

[westerntiger]

Good to see that Lee's taken advantage of the poor turnout to put the Brydens Lawyers tarp over some of the upper tier

 

[Perth Red]

No just some games are duds. The venue plays very little in it

Once again you miss the point totally.
Would the game get more at a sht suburban ground? No. so are the fans attending getting a better experience? Yes. Knowing they had a lot of spare capacity Could the tigers have done something to get more there? Yes. Will tigers have sold more corporate packages than if at a sht suburban ground? Yes.

there is literally no advantage to todays game being at a suburban dump.

 

[Iamback]

Sorry you're mistaken

We have 4 Games in Sydney
5 Sydney teams playing

Those fans will watch their team only, fans of the other sides won't drop a couple of hundred yet. Prelim and GF is when you get neutrals

When the draw was done they would of expected both sides to be going better

I am sure the corporates from inner Sydney or Campbelltown are flocking to Parramatta

at least there are decent corporate facilities at parramatta ,
can't say the same at leichardt or campbelltown

 

[baselinepanther]

or any of the suburban grounds

Newy should at least be able to play at home week 2 or 3 they have 30000 capacity more than Canberra or North Queensland. And it’s two hours to Sydney.

Do you think Wests Leagues who pay most of bills would rather that or the extra flow on business that comes from having the Leagues club connected to the ground in Campbelltown?
