The Game 2023 Crowd Watch

[reanimate]

I should stop dwelling on a dead fail club run by morons but jesus christ does it piss me off living in Sydney's AFL heartland lol.

An actual discussion I have had with people more than once is how Adam Goodes is the greatest indigenous sportsman in Sydney's history. Like, Artie Beetson won premierships with Balmain and Easts, is arguably the father of Origin and was the first Indigenous person to captain his country in a major sport but that isn't enough apparently compared to a dude whose main claim to fame is being racially abused by Southerners. Goodes seems like a decent bloke all told but come on.

Even worse than the Bears’ moves around that time is what came after. Their last year in the comp was 1999, the last year of the Northern Eagles was 2002- it’s now 2023 and we still don’t know if the Bears are coming back in some form or not.

Just put them out of their misery and hand the North Shore off to other clubs or bring them back. A decision needs to be made, we’ve had 20+ years of rot in the area for what? As it is, they’ve basically missed the boat, the younger end of Gen Y and below probably aren’t going to remember them or never knew them as a first grade club and don’t give a shit about them.

Current state of play for Good Friday at Accor - Platinum Plus, Platinum and Gold are all down to single seats only in Tier 1.

Weather forecast is for showers and a possible storm. Really hope that doesn't come to fruition (and even a day like today would be fine), as it would be great to see these big public holiday games getting over 40k in Sydney again.

For reference this was good Friday sales on the day before the game. Which ended up being 35,211.

Damn, looks like 40k is very possible!

A bit harsh on Lego there. Even Lego has more impressive Stadiums than Shark Park

That’s a pretty impressive stadium design though you can tell it was dreamed up by an American

Would be good if we could beat the dropball 41k

The Bronx have officially sold out.
A world record crowd for a reserve grade game bravo COK GUZEL

Phins vs Warriors will probably take 2nd spot too haha

Heard from a sauce it was sold out bro

Perhaps you mean `heard while on the sauce` or maybe your source was on the sauce.

Gonna come down to GA sales. Unless they're way different, which could be possible with more families from the Easter show opting for the cheaper tickets.

What is the PAX ?

It was ~19,700 according to the last update in this thread, but that doesn't really justify opening level 4 east.

There is no AFL team east of Hawthorn and 1.9m people live east of Hawthorn .. is that whole are at risk of switching to NRL or rugby ?

Yes that whole area is @ risk, the NRL is going to take over

 

[titoelcolombiano]

They will play each other next week, Nothing is gained from playing full strength sides

As I said, I understand why they are doing it. But as someone who bought tickets, I've got the shits with it

With any luck this is the last ever fixture between our 2 clubs away from the SFS with the only exception being if they were to ever meet in the GF.

The rumour is that we will still be at Accor next year. Accor: 9; Allianz: 1 (probably for Indigenous round v Eels); Suncorp: 1 (Magic Round) and Central Coast: 1

I don’t disagree with the sentiment, the Bears aren’t needed. The North Shore can easily be covered by Sydney’s existing NRL teams.

Im taking three people from work who are all union fans, on fri night. I told them once you seen RL you'll never go back to union. They just laugh at me

I don't believe Camp Nou in Barcelona was designed by an American... And Lego isn't an American company either...

PAX for Rabbitohs games doesn't include their own Members or Accor Stadium members.

Level 7 on sale for Dolphins v Warriors. Only the second time the Dolphins have sold into the level (Broncos derby was the other).
