The Game 2022 Crowd Watch

[Iamback]

2 reasons


Despite what souths fans will claim, parra are easily the biggest fanbase in Sydney. Also nothing brings out fans like a potential drought breaking run, see dragons in 2010 and souths 2014 as examples. There is a real feeling this could be the year for parra.

Having said that, I'm not advocating for it to be moved. The NRL rules state week 1 games can be played at regular venues and Penrith finished first. I'm just saying I couldn't blame the NRL if they did move it.

Back with the neutral stadium rule Pre Covid

Penrith had 17,168 v Warriors Accor
19,211 v Sharks SFS
15,408 v Manly SFS
22,631 v Bulldogs SFS

Maybe you add 10-15k extra to that, Still is going to look poor in an 85k Stadium

As for the change in the rule, I agree you need to give the higher placed team a benefit

 

[Perth Red]

Its almost like penrith needs a new 30k stadium

 

[Iamback]

Its almost like penrith needs a new 30k stadium

Yet people like Buzz are anti Penrith getting a stadium, Yet sooking the game isn't moved

35k last night at the fumbleball in Brisbane - apparently a "sell out". I thought it held 42k?

it'd get 50K on its ear with Parramatta involved , homebush is just up the road

& anyway
who cares if its only half full , thats still double the crowd then what penrith could get , anyone who wants to attend ... can

locking people out because you .. choose .. to play in a tiny shithole is unacceptable
wake up NRL

its the 2020's
not the 1970's

If they insist on Suburban grounds with small crowds move the Sharks game to a Thursday night

 

[forby]

Would the Roosters move next weeks game because they would get more than 40k?
I don’t think so, so why should Penrith?

 

[forby]

Besides we don’t have a tiny shithole, and we would choose to pay out of a modern Penrith Stadium if the government did I the right thing and built lt!

Sydney hasn't had functioning public transport this year

*since the 60s

if they played in a venue that held 20K .. with hills
they should yea

 

[baselinepanther]

Besides we don’t have a tiny shithole

oh
We all beg to differ ...

If Cows are “home” team in prelim, do they still get to play at Townsville?

Holds 36k now because they ripped out seats for the new screens.

Point me to where Accor has got that week 1 in the finals? There was a reason the league rightfully change that rule

Both Panthers and Eels fans get the same access to tickets.
NRL approved it to be there

So keep whinging you whiny f**khead

It was Suncorp, maybe it was changed

They wouldn't get more than 40k at homebush week 1. In 2014 they got 50k for a prelim.

SFS is absolutely the best place for any and all games between rooster and souths

Tigers V Dragons in 2011 got around that you twerp

Sydney is closer to Brisbane then Townsville is
