The Game 2022 Crowd Watch

[Babyface O'reilly]

Swans would be disappointed with the Sydney figure given they were in a playoff for a GF.

 

[Jamberoo]

Why is that obvious?

Tomorrows ticketing map for QCB confirms no temp seating at the northern end.



Not sure why the NRL didn't push for it, they had 2 weeks to get it sorted.

Damn shame.

It appears the NRL care as much about maximising crowds as the TV stations do.

Why is that obvious?

The AFL states have centralised populations in the capitals. NSW and Qld have larger regional viewership.

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

Why is that obvious?

Because the regionals in NSW and QLD are far bigger than the regionals in the other three states. Be interesting to see the pay TV figures

 

[Suitman]

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.

Here's your answer.
The SCG members are a f**king disgrace, and all these seats should be sold off to the general public within 48 hours prior to ko if they don't claim a ticket or register to attend.
This is why the attendance was 3500 under capacity because the rich snobby f**ks can't be arsed to turn up.

AFL smashed NRL on Fox footy.

Also the AFL game was on in the afternoon compared to the primetime slot of NRL game.

comparing different weeks of the finals series. Wait til next weeks prelims and see how they go against this weeks AFL ones.

 

[Dark Corner]

can't fit 45K in at Allianz so it'd be a ridiculous boast but that wouldn't stop those singlet wearing clowns

both grounds were 2.5K shy of capacity

why was that ?

Totally agree with you Suitman, two finals matches and empty seats, it isn't good enough, not letting club cards in didnt help especially last week, unfortunately last night 99% of the members decided to go the Swans. They did it right with the AFL at the SCG where you had to get the allocation of tickets through ticketek.

Previous years they have let club cards into all the finals matches at the SFS, Yes, if members haven't registered interest in tickets 48 hrs before the match they should go on sale to the public.

 

[baselinepanther]

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

Kayo & streaming not included.

or regionals
but they still won by about 500K
week 3 them v week 2 for us tho...

shame they're still 13 Million behind us comp v comp
& about 25 million behind us sport v sport

Despite the haters on here, AFL is a niche sport. That strange kick off time wouldn't of helped

If the A-league has been able to do this in the past for Sydney derbies, surely the NRL can.
I've been the recipiant of late selling tickets to an ESFC vs Wanderers derby before and been able to sit in those empty members seats at the old Allianz.
It can be done.
It garenteed sold out games.

A tale of two Sydneys: Swans soar, Giants a sore point

Football needs a push in Sydney, particularly in the west. If the Swans win this year’s flag, could they take on Collingwood to open next season?

www.theage.com.au

The giants have failed to penetrate western Sydney at all, according to this article it’s 27th most preferred sport in parramatta region.

swans are only relevant in eastern suburbs of Sydney, also helps they have past history also

it would be even more of a shame if the broadcasters actually put any value on that.
