[AlwaysGreen]

I think its best to ignore the opnions poms living thousands of kilometers away. Especially when their crowds are so shit.

Or you could counter Them like in a debate on a internet discussion forum?

oh and by the way 4 super league fixtures last weekend beat the souths v Brisbane attendance.

just saying.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

I thought the warriors were expecting a crowd approaching 25k??

Also why would souths take a plum fixture against the broncos to a tiny stadium?

seems like such a waste.

Weather had been awful in Auckland and the women’s football probably has the attention of some casuals with NZ playing the night before. Still a good crowd

Women’s World Cup Is why it was there

Sign of the times when a Auckland crowd just short of 20k is a bit disappointing.

hopefully with the warriors winning in dramatic fashion at the death and seeing them move upto 3rd in the league will see the next home game in Auckland threaten 25k.

You really want to debate crowds?
Would you like to start with Salford's average of 4500? Or Huddersfield's 5100?

You do realise fixtures have to be moved for the World Cup? Including Souths v Brisbane.

not really. NRL shits all over super league from a great height and I’m glad the comp is flying seen as though im a RL fan.

Would you like to start with Salford's average of 4500? Or Huddersfield's 5100?

and this pleases you?

sure.

still didn’t sellout a 10k stadium.

 

[yakstorm]

It was a sellout, second sellout at Sunshine Coast Stadium this year.

SC Stadium doesn't have a capacity of 10K anymore, after the Souths v Warriors game in 2019, they reduced the allowed density on the hill, so it pretty much can hold a maximum of around 9,200.

That's why the last few sellouts there have been in the high 8Ks.

Central Coast isn't. CommBank is.

 

[Vibing]

sure.

sold out weeks ago potato

 

[Warriors Fever]

They really need to upgrade Sunshine Coast so it can hold at least another 5k. Decent crowd for the wahs we will push a really high crowd for manly they are quite popular in NZ

I don't understand the logic with Souths. They took their "home" game to the Sunshine Coast and their opponent was the Broncos. Souths "gifted" the Broncos home ground advantage. Most likely, Souths fans would be in the minority in the crowd.

Souths should've taken their home game at Commbank, which is not that far away from Accor. Or if they want to promote the code, perhaps take it to Perth at Optus Stadium.

At the end of the day, clubs should treat the NRL as a competition, not a charity. Last night's game was a charity.

Saying that the Sunshine Coast is a "home ground advantage" for the Broncos is like saying that Newcastle is a "home ground advantage" for a Sydney club. While it's better for us to travel there for an away game than Sydney, it is not a home ground for us.

Souths took a game to the Sunshine Coast and another to Cairns to flog QLD based memberships. Their approach is commercial, not charitable.

Yeah that's not quite the same. Newcastle has a team. Sunshine Coast doesn't have one. Although in time, that area could be well established under the Dolphins. Tbf, you are spot on about Souths trying to flog membership in Qld.

I reckon if a Sydney team took a game against Newcastle to the Central Coast, there’d be more Knights fans making it feel more like a Knights home game although second para spot on.

 

[Warriors Fever]

That’s true I have a few mates from central coast and they are all die hard knights supporters

EDIT: DOUBLE

Both true points. I should have elaborated - I meant that if Brisbane hosted a game against a Sydney club in Newcastle, I wouldn't consider it that Sydney club's home ground.

This is very true. In 2001-2003 during the first period of the Warriors ad serious contenders a good crowd was still around 18k unless it was finals or right before them.
The only time the Warriors have ever previously drawn 20k plus crowds on the regular was the debut season in 1995.
