The Game 2022 Crowd Watch

[wazdog]

39,733 for Souths v Sharks

There is no way there was only 83 less fans than last weeks crowd. The members area was a lot less busy last night. A lot less busy!

Decent cross over of Swans and Pies supporters at the game.

60,000+ next week at Accor?

Very very doubtful

 

[horrie hastings]

Tried to watch the last 6 minutes as we were waiting for the football to come on

how do people watch it I will never know

I was there and really enjoyed the game, it was a real roller coaster of a game being live at the ground, was fairly free flowing game for the first two quarters then the mayhem of the last two quarters. Was also fun walking out of the game at the Paddo end with all the Sharks and Souths supporters around.

Was interested in what the members was like last night, couldn't really see it on the TV shots when I watched it in the second half , wondered how many members crossed over after the AFL, thought about going to both but I'm hobbled on one leg at the moment and had reserved seat for the Swans so just wanted to get home in one piece on one leg after the Swans.

So seemingly plenty of cross over (both ways) with the Swans/Collingwood and Souths/Sharks....yet again makes me wonder why the Storm /Raiders didn't simply start an hour earlier last week.

We are a very very dumb code, run by very very dumb people.

A sell out for souths panthers would be nice

don’t expect it but it should be 60k plus

40-50k will be the crowd

 

[Yosemite Sam]

Anything over 50K would be incredible for these 2 clubs but I think realistically 45K will be the number.

Somebody explain something to me about the SFS. Apparently capacity is 42.5K.

Yesterday at the game it looked like there was a bit less people there than the week before when Souths played the Roosters yet there was slightly more people there last night then the week before if memory servers me right.

How is that possible? Also surely you can duty a lot more then 2700 people there last night.

We are run by tv, they don’t care if fans go, in fact they’d rather you didn’t.

If Roosters v Cowboys can get mid 40's for a Homebush prelim all those years ago then I think Souths v Panthers can get over 50k.

 

[Perth Red]

You’d certainly hope each club could muster up 20-25k fans each to cheer them on! Plus some RL fans who go for the occasion.

Souths-Penrith prelim in 2020 got 30,116 with half capacity restrictions in place. Should get a get good crowd next week I'd say.

 

[Jamberoo]

Decent turnout @ Central Coast for NRLW. Maybe 5k.

That was a sunday arvo, up against a lot less then a saturday night
the roosters cowboys prelim in 2017 got 27K or something on a saturday night

50K is doable
but it'd take some neutrals & some casual fans of both clubs to get it there.

The AFL will love that having more people at the SCG then at Allianz but lets see what the Tv Ratings are like.

NRL Sharks vs Rabbitohs 906k (NINE, Fox footy)
AFL Swans vs Collingwood 1.46M (Seven, Fox Footy)

Kayo & streaming not included.

Such a shame this decent stadium is going to waste for most of the season while shitholes like Brookvale, Leichhardt, Endeavour etc. get regular use.

That's very poor I have to say. What was the state by state breakdown?
