The Game 2023 Crowd Watch

[Suitman]

I think its essentially the same as anywhere where you offer a larger capacity venue, more people are likely to turn up simply on the basis that there are more seats, there's more space and you're less likely to miss out.

Except possibly for Accor.

A question for Melbourne based Storm fans... why would a bigger crowd turn up at Docklands than would have at Aami? Docklands is less than ideal for watching RL and Aami would have a better RL match atmosphere... just curious. Was it the novelty factor?

I know that the novelty factor of the Broncos playing at the Gabba has quite a few interested up here despite being inferior to Suncorp for RL

A bit of novelty factor, slightly easier to get to on public transport for much of the city compared to AAMI, roof. Storm also did a 2 for 1 deal for $35 which is probably the biggest factor if I had to guess.

AAMI is by far the better stadium for RL though. Even if the Storm could get a 35-40k crowd there for something like a prelim I doubt it’d be worth it with the AFL owning Marvel.

Hotter in Cronulla

Had season tickets for a year in cronulla when Preston and peachy were killing it in 2001

hard to say quality of sharks cheerleaders isn’t what it was lol

but throw in a pre game at northies and yes cronulla wins handily

Indeed, what is the NRL thinking? They should have made sure the home teams won.

It's actually quite a clever move. As Vibing has helpfully explained, NRL fans will not reward mediocrity. For a team to get a good crowd, they must have won last time out.

So after the win in Auckland, Souths should get a good crowd against the Bulldogs next week. Meanwhile the Warriors get the chance to appease their fans with a win at Parra before they play the Sharks at home in Round 20.

Bit more complicated with the other game. Following a bye next week, Panthers need to win again at the Dolphins in Round 20. They should then get a good crowd at home to the Bulldogs in Round 21.

The Storm also have a bye next week. Bit tricky. Their fans could be seething at the mediocrity for weeks. But fear not, hope springs eternal. If they win at the Roosters in Round 20 and at the Knights in Round 21 they should get a good crowd against the Eels in Round 22.

nawwww

poor soap dodger got its knickers ( which haven't been washed for a month ) in a twist because i suggested pommy fans live in shit holes so turn up to watch oxygen thieves regularly because they have nothing else to do..

fact is & my point was ... you said winning isn't a factor for crowds ,
which is an utterly absurd observation.
point is valid
point rests.

 

[Vibing]

was thinking this one might push a sellout

if it does , that'll be 4 for the round
Auckland
Brisbane
Townsville
& Brookie

how good is the NRL going atm

Due to the work being done for the Women's FIFA World Cup, the capacity for AAMI Park has been sitting at about 24K which certainly doesn't help (Warriors v Storm was a sell out and was announced as 23469) in addition to what others have mentioned.

In addition, unlike AAMI Park, Marvel Stadium does have its own members, and it appeared at least a few thousand of them did turn up last night. Those members are possibly unlikely to hold a Storm membership as well or attend AAMI Park regularly, but because the game was there, they didn't have to pay anything extra and there was no competing AFL, went.

I said it once and I'll say it again.
Queensland is the RL capital of the universe

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Average crowd in Canberra - it was a pretty nice day so I expected more than 11,659

89‘ aside that’s the ver definition of what I said.

i personally only started following the winfield cup in 1990 after the ashes tour.

93 for me Wigan v Widnes final and then the Kiwi's tour of England.

Part novelty, part the high level of promotion for the game, part more seats = more reasonably priced seats

3 crowds over 20000 and one tonight well over 30000? Games in rude health.
