The Game 2023 Crowd Watch

[Iamback]

It looks like the leagues club side of the ground can't be expanded due to the development.

It is has been expanded out, Still backs on to the ground

 

[Iamback]

What will the capacity of Shark Park be after the redevelopment next door has finished?

It looks like a lot of the fenced off space has been claimed by the new development, so the capacity is going to be less than the 20,497+ they were able to hold back in 2017.

17k as of July, Not sure if that is the new capacity or just while it is being fixed

Supposed to be a leagues club extension and a small extension to the grand stand on that side

it’s just such an ugly ground

Sadly yes

I’m at Suncorp and the crowd is building nicely with 30 to go

 

[Billythekid]

17K is a pretty dire capacity for a modern NRL ground TBH.

 

[Pneuma]

Looks about 32000 at Lang. Park?

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

This is a good crowd IMO. 90% are actually Dolphin fans - atmosphere is awesome, and mates at the game have confirmed that. The titans first home game had a shitload of neutrals, and probably about 15-20% Dragons fans.

Well done phins

Yeah the Dolphins! Exciting brand of footy, great crowd. Their depth may prevent them from making the eight when it's all said and done this year but great addition to the NRL. They are a great Football club and they'll have their fair share of success as the years roll on.

19,105 average from the first seven games.

Anything north of 12,000 at Leichhardt and the R1 average will be 18K+

It's a bit of a shame the Dolphins match against the Raiders is at Kayo Stadium next week, after today's result I imagine most of the fans at Suncorp will be keen to get to another match.

Still will definitely help move seats for Round 4 (Broncos) & 7 (Rabbitohs), especially if they can continue to play in a similar manner over the next few weeks.

Leichhardt looks packed

Was sent this photo from the ground 20 minutes ago, think we should pass 12K

It's 12k while being fixed 17k when done

17K is a pretty dire capacity for a modern NRL ground TBH.

The Ettingshausen stand needs to be expanded along the pitch, at least at concourse level anyway

 

[SouthsCountry]

Does Cronulla own the hotel and bar ? Or the developer

Not sure tbh

 

[SouthsCountry]

Nah, like yak said it’s too small.

Agree. If they nabbed munster or ponga the vibe would have been better for them and maybe more neutrals would have been keen to see a competitive opening rather than a probable roosters flogging (YUCK). I know the Beeston connection is nice, but opening against the titans at Suncorp would have been my suggestion.

Staggered release to constrict attendees to sections of the stadium. This is requested by tenants to keep hire fees down.

Probable flogging denied

Must be about 18,000 at Leichhardt oval?
