The Game 2023 Crowd Watch

[horrie hastings]

18, 338 and a fantastic atmosphere, only about 1.5k under capacity, well done to supporters from both teams who made the trip.

There was less than 200 tickets left for the match at kick off, so even if those CCRL fixtures weren't on, the final crowd wouldn't have changed much.

As for why the clash occurred, the question should go to the CCRL. They are one of partners of the event and it's been known for months that the Roosters game was going to be played today at 2pm. The NRL can't force the CCRL to change its schedule and a Sunday afternoon was always going to be an easier sell than a Saturday night.

As for why the Bulldogs, a condition of taking a match to the CC (to get NRL support), is the opponent needs to be a Sydney club, simply because the NRL got sick of underwriting dud fixtures. The Roosters most recent deal with the CCRL also says they'll bring a high profile opponent, after they previously brought the likes of the Titans & Cowboys before COVID.

18,8XX in Townsville. Awesome result.

Heard the ground announcer call it, but I'm sure it won't be released for a day or so.

That’s roughly 100000 for 6 games. Should crack about 118000 for the round at an average of 17000

Boy, do we need a team in the Central Coast.
Either relocate someone or bring the Bears back.

As my mother used to say ‘one sparrow does not a summer make’. You don’t just plant teams especially failed ones in places just because of one good crowd. The central coast just require a commitment from an existing club like manly to partner it with pathways and development programs. Sydney does not need another team.

Ok how about this then, why not every week a Sydney club must play in the central Coast? And forfeit home ground advantage. I think the NRL needs to look at this coz man I've been there many times to know just how popular Rugby League is. The people are screaming for it
