The Game 2023 Crowd Watch

[Theknightsrule7]

Much better crowd in Newcastle then I expected.

Seems games against Sydney sides definitely get the crowds in. Hill was packed and the lower stands were pretty full too.

 

[Vibing]

Which game was poor? They were all close and full of drama.

I dare anyone to say that absolute rollercoaster ride at Accor last night wasn't first class entertainment & noone cared about the origin players missing

both sets of supporters would have been up & down like a piston in a V8 for 80mins
Souths on top
then Raiders
then Souths
then Raiders
then Souths
then Raiders

I lost my shit several times & couldn't sit down
had everything you'd want as a fan of neither team , hard hits ..brilliant ball movement
& plenty of whacky
& was a pure adrenalin rush for the supporters of the 2 clubs

yea
lets shut that down for a month ...

If we suspended the comp due to Origin , then we'd never see players like Tristan Sailor who was outstanding in Napier

he'd never oust the QLD origin fullback & would languish in QLD cup & be forgotten about ..
Theres 6 clubs now looking at him .. & others to bring into their squads to play NRL where they belong

That’s a very salient point. The Origin period gives fringe players an opportunity which in a way can be exciting

I specifically watched a replay of the Parra/Cowboys match today just to see how those two young P.N.G. players went.

I thought they made a good account of themselves, I hope they get another crack and spuds like Brendan Eliott and Shibasaki are given the ass.

I caught a bit of the Cheifs v. Brumbies on 9 Saturday night. Probably about 6000 there I reckon. That`s 1 v 3 on the table playing off for top four spots. That`s woeful.
Fumbleball`s got good crowds and average ratings, we`ve got great crowds and great ratings. Poor old super rugby, woeful crowds and woeful ratings.

We DO get to see these guys …. In the reserve grade matches. If you want to see them playing, watch that.

If he is good enough, he will move to a new club or find a place in his current club. If he needs the top players to go on leave, he wasnt good enough to start with.

I think the attendance number at Accor said this quite loudly

Origin steals all interest, and this becomes a reserve competition for 5 weeks.

Sounds like we could just keep the NSW Cup running to keep the fanatics happy (we already have reserve players running out)

Hes obviously good enough

origin period gives him an opportunity to remind us
playing reserve grade is not the same thing


the present system is best

when you've watched a bit more RL ( its obvious you've watched very little) you'll know what a good game looks like

oh &
The Accor attendance with the 3 missing players 12,382
& with them .. 13,382
made little difference

The 670K who watched on TV must have been bored shitless too eh

The Knights v Sea Eagles games have been a bit of a rivalry event since the 1995-1997 era. As such I think it does get more interest than some of the club's other home games.

 

[EuroNymous]

origin 1 ticket sales looking decent, most of the tickets left are in the top tiers

i reckon we will see 48 to 50k

Saw that this morning. Still some cheap seats left which should go.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Its ridiculous how some jurnos carry on and question about why we're taking the game to Adelaide because there's about 1,000 tickets left. I think there was about the same amount if not more in 2019 before the Sydney game.
"OH NO!! The game is not sold out"

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

They've shifted heaps of tickets since changing most of the 'tryline' bays to 'playmaker' which reduced ticket prices. I convinced a few Adelaide based colleagues (that have absolutely no interest in the NRL) to go, so I am really keen to see what they think - I tried to convince work to cover flights and I'd take them, no dice ha.

Here is how I think it will look. A few seats in the supporter bays but yellow will look predominantly full. Dark blue line areas are selling.

Surely this will be 50k+.

 

[yakstorm]

45K+ will be a win in Adelaide. Will look predominantly full on TV, especially in the lower bowl, and will give a great atmosphere to those at the ground.

Encouraging that they have been able to move seats by changing the pricing and not having to just give away freebies.

depends on how many members rock up, hopefully since its one off match they will show up

 

[EuroNymous]

look at this way union played there last year for first time in very long time and got like 35k and I'm sure tickets were cheaper, second time origin is down there so less of a novelty and we could pull 50k

 

[Harry O]

It seems only single tickets left for Adelaide..anything over 50k is pretty good IMO.
