The Game 2023 Crowd Watch

[Sky_Is_The_Limit]

pax for dogs v parra is 26776

That's very encouraging!!

The Bulldogs King's Birthday public holiday game has historically had considerably lower crowds (20,925 since inception in 2015) than Good Friday (average 36,002 since inception in 2012), ANZAC Day (average 33,314 since inception in 2002) and Easter Monday (average 32,892 since inception in 2012).

Part of that is due to the Bulldogs' prolonged poor form, and part of it due to their opponent being in similarly bad form (Dragons til last year).

Anything over the 20,925 average is a win this year, and anything over 30,000 is a great result.

Even though the pax is higher than where the Good Friday game was (with more days left to sell tickets), I wouldn't be surprised if the crowd is slightly less as there won't be the same walk up demand from the Royal Easter Show.

GA areas for the Raiders game have sold out.

I don't think that has happened for some time - doing it for a 6pm Friday game is pretty epic.

I'm a newby here and not as intelligent as you guys are. Yes I've made mistakes and said things I shouldn't have, but that's what happens when you're a dumbass like me. Sometimes on social media PEOPLE say things about our game and I tend to go off my nuts, I suppose that's the hot blooded culture i was raised in.
So I'll tell you abit about me.
I'm a proud Turkish/ Australian.
My favourite sport was soccer and I was a Fenerbahçe fan and when we played Galatasaray, it had the same atmosphere as State of Origin.
So in saying that, when i seen Rugby League for the first time I fell in love with it. And I ditched soccer for good. Bye bye Charlie to soccer, you'll never be as good as Rugby League.

Great that you have come on board to RL Harry and I love your passion. I love the fact you have grown to love RL and it is now your chosen sport.
But comparing SOO atmosphere to the Istanbul derby is a bit of a stretch. Just sayin'.

I'm not actually sure what difference calling rugby league 'rugby' would make to crowds

you're right
the Origin is way better

One of the good things about rugby league (and most sport in Australia) is the lack of sectarianism and vile chanting. Someone at the FA Cup I think last week wore a jersey making fun of the Hillsborough stampede

This is correct, they're absolutely mental when it comes to soccer, and they go far as killing people aswell for the love of their teams.
Thank God Rugby League doesn't have this issue in Australia with crazy idiots.

The 2000 UEFA Cup semi-final violence in Istanbul, Turkey, between fans of English football team Leeds United and Turkish team Galatasaray on 5 April 2000, the day before the first match of their UEFA Cup semi-final, led to two Leeds fans being stabbed to death by Galatasaray fans. I'm sure this has happened in the Turkish League aswell, from Besiktas,Galatasaray,Fenerbacha, fans. The three most powerful teams in Turkey

Canberra expecting more than 21,000.

"It’s going to be a bumper night at GIO Stadium with more than 20,000 tickets already sold and a chance to pack in more than 21,000 fans for the biggest regular-season game since 2006."

Going by ticket sales, might be lucky to get over 10k tonight. Really think the NRL should bring in an initiative for thursdays, where a limited amount of tickets are available for cheap. Say 5000 for $5. Thursdays are a hard sell with $33+ a ticket.
