The Game 2022 Crowd Watch

Wouldve probably got more if it was played tomorrow.

Exactly

 

[Valheru]

Wouldve probably got more if it was played tomorrow.

Or 4PM which is what they did in 2019 involving the same teams.

 

[Miller was a legend]

It’ll still be more than what you’ll get. Back on topic though it shows how inept the game’s management is to put it on the same day as the main competitor down the road

Is that the best you’ve got? Some comment inferring some sort of homophobia on your part.

Couldn’t give a s*** about the particular poster in question, I just think it is absolutely embarrassing that we are playing a finals game at a ground with a capacity of 10k.

Too bad you don’t have the intellect of Keating otherwise you could have debated me

 

[DIOGENES]

Some don’t know how to make comparisons or believe everything that V’Landys tells them

Pretty easy really
if the attendance in year A is X
and the attendance in year B is Y
If X>Y then more people went to games in year A than in year B

I wasn’t referring to this crowds debate. Iamback made a reference to a debate that was going on about 2023-2028 that despite fumbleball earning between $100-$200 more than we are earning from TV rights (2025 onwards) we weren’t undersold by Nine/Fox and that V’Landys did a great job

This. You can argue that things could of been done to increase the growth, But the figures shows crowds improved from 2019 at the very least

Melbourne should have played at 4pm to facilitate people going to the AFL being able to attend

No ot was 5:40 as well...Melbourne v Parra 2017 was 3pm

I think you meant 4pm, which has been the default day finals match kickoff for Ch9 since 2004:

Lmao

you wanna compare the corporate facilities at Allianz against Penrith or Cronulla

You have misunderstood what was asking. I was wondering out of the 45k capacity how many are available to the public and how many are set aside for corporate and SCG Trust?
I know that the corporate facilities are far superior, that was not in question.

 

[westerntiger]

12,447 at Shark Park.

Sorry, I remembered the ch9 ad...coverage was from 3pm.

Finucane is an average footballer that’s been lucky enough to play in some good teams.

So why does NQ get to play a PF on their home ground?
To me that is totally unfair to the rest of the teams in the finals. Nobody else gets this privilege. Their ground holds 25k, make them play at Suncorp - home state, the same as the rest of the teams except Melbourne which is also wrong.
No team should play a PF on their home ground!

Except warriors, raiders and knights all get to play at their usual grounds too.

If you can't see the difference between cowboys playing at their home ground which isn't within 1000 km of another decent stadium and penrith not being able to play a prelim at their suburban dump then you can't be helped.

 

[forby]

I understand what you are saying, and I did not suggest anything regarding Penrith, but prelim finals should be at neutral venues not at home grounds. I think you will find that the Raiders and Knights get home PFs, so you give 4 teams an unfair advantage in the second last weekend of the season.
How many opposition fans would be at Townsville, Auckland, Melbourne or Brisbane. Home ground advantage and influence in a PF is unfair!

 

[forby]

I’m meant Newcastle and Canberra don’t get home PFs.
