The Game 2022 Crowd Watch

[Warriors Fever]

Not too sure about leichardt getting over 10k with the spoon going to the tigers.

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

Round 25:
Eels v Storm 21k
Dogs v Seagles 10k
The Sookpen vs The Pride of the League 43k (sellout)
Warriors v Titans 25k (sellout)
Dragons v Broncos 11k
Cowboys v Panthers 22k (sellout)
Knights v Sharks 18k
Tigers v Raiders 14k

Sook Sydney fan with no sense of irony

Will depend on how many members turn up tonight, though Eels v Storm could push closer to 25K... there aren't many seats left at CommBank for public sale.

Any members who don't turn up are a disgrace. Crowd should be 29,500 tonight no exceptions.

Great Crowd...

Pity Penrith v Parra next week will see this many locked out in addition to the measly 22k that are allowed in.

Edit: Accor

What is the advantage for coming 1st if the game is at a neutral ground?

You get the JJ Gilligan shield

You get the JJ Gilligan shield

And next year someone else gets it.

Would you say they should move the game if it were Parramatta’s home game?
Or if the Roosters beat South’s should it be at Accor!
Penrith won the right to a home final and that’s it!
Unless all finals are at neutral venues SHUT UP!

I get your point. But this is business.

The NRL owns the finals series, and will need to be commercial here, regardless of who won the ‘right’.

Millions of dollars is at stake with this dream matchup for the NRL. Parra beating Penrith twice, Cleary back from suspension. The media will be wild, they want bums on seats. 60,000+ at Accor will be the target.

23,758

I never realised that CommBank Stadium only held 30k. Pretty much the same capacity as AAMI park.

It's always hard to see the crowd at CommBank with the upper lights always dimmed.

I haven't been to a game there yet. Will make sure I do the next time I go to Sydney next year.

No way week 1 gets 60k

if it was a Prelim yes but not week 1 finals

Why don’t RL people in Sydney go to week 1 finals?

under similar circumstances do you switch Easts v South’s from Allianz to Accor, and Cronulla v Cowboys to anywhere, and the deny Melbourne their home final? Seems fair but only if all games are switched!

Easts V Souths they would be satisfied with 42k. I do think they’ll move Cronulla v Cowboys to Allianz too.

Melbourne would stay in Melbourne. At the end of the day they’ll get home cities. This is the price some clubs will pay for playing out of derelict shitholes as their home ground for the regular season.

No way week 1 gets 60k

if it was a Prelim yes but not week 1 finals

With the right time slot, good weather, marketing and price it absolutely could. Parramatta have by far the biggest supporter base in Sydney and we have seen evidence of that in past finals series.
