The Game 2023 Crowd Watch

[Harry O]

By my calculations, there's <2,200 general public tickets remaining for the ANZAC Day game between the Roosters and the Dragons.

Categories 1 and 4 are down to single seats only.

Should comfortably sell out by the weekend.

Lucky I got my tickets last week for this

Surely NZ deserves a second team After the Warriors magnificent turnout yesterday, and there's so much appetite for RL in NZ it's not funny.

The NRL should hurry up and consider this as the next 18th team in maybe Wellington or Christchurch. While Rugby League crowds are on a massive rise in Kiwi land and the best spectator sport on the planet. However the Union crowds is dwindling, just look @ there recent crowds empty seats everywhere, maybe people are finally waking up and realising the game has turned into a farce.

Why not have 2 more teams in NZ Wellington and Christchurch or I'm I being greedy.

Not at the same time. Maybe space NZ2&NZ3 out over a decade or so.

You love this stuff don’t you? Statistics are truly gorgeous

We somehow beat round 7 last year (20,769 vs 20,675), even though Rnd 7 last year was the ANZAC weekend. Meaning the upcoming round only needs to beat 13,252 to build the lead over last year even more.

A more like for like comparison to last year might come through equivalent fixtures.
For example:

Game	Last year	This year	Increase
Dolphins v Rabbitohs	NA	23,280	NA
Sharks v Roosters	11,500	11,489	-11
Manly v Storm	8,168	13 572	+5,404
Warriors v Cowboys	6,254	23,695	+17,441
Knights v Panthers	21,332	26,084	+4,752
Titans v Broncos	19,245	26,563	+7,318
Raiders v Dragons	11,216	13,817	+2,601

Eels v Bulldogs

26,451

27,655

+1,204

Obviously never going to be a perfect comparison (timeslot, weather, form). But a different way to gauge it.

By extension Rnd 8 targets to beat:

Game	Last year (Day of game)
Rabbitohs v Panthers	15,208 (Thursday)
Eels v Broncos	11,017 (Thursday)
Bulldogs v Sharks	8,837 (Saturday)
Cowboys v Knights	14,463 (Saturday)
Dolphins v Titans	NA
Wests Tigers v Manly	10,321 (Sunday)
Roosters v Dragons	35,273 (Monday)
Storm v Warriors	22,696 (Monday)

If we are all not careful here we might actually start believing in our game and be truly proud of it. Let’s face it we’ve had heaps of crap thrown at us even from our own.

Come on mate. You know as well as I do the power is in understanding numbers. Most don’t get it. You got a mention on News Limited the other day. It’s a massive compliment but the reality is it’s all a game. You play it well. It’s hard work but it’s worth it. Keep well.

Sorry mate but it was in an article about the gather round and it quotes one of your tweets. It was complimentary as in it described you as an expert. Wasn’t a random quote if you get my drift. Sorry I can’t find it. Fact is they used it. Nice work.
