[Pneuma]

Sharks sold out. Sooner that ground gets back to capacity the better.

Sharks sold out. Sooner that ground gets back to capacity the better.

I'm sure this has been posted elsewhere, but is there an expected date for when Shark Park can accommodate larger crowds?

 

[Perth Red]

Eels Storm 17,000 (thurs night knocking 2-3k off it)
Warriors knights 14,000
Panthers Broncos 18,000
Sea eagles Bulldogs 14,000
Cowboys Raiders 17,000 (day game wtf?)
Sharks Rabbitohs 11,600 (still under construction or something)
Dolphins roosters 35,500 (hopefully more)
Tigers titans 12,000 or 16,000 depending on weather (currently forecast to be nice and warm)

 

[EuroNymous]

Parra v Melbourne 21k
New Zealand v Newcastle 17k
Penrith v Brisbane 20k
Manly v Canterbury 16k
North Queensland v Canberra 19k
Cronulla v South Sydney 12k (sell out)
The v Sydney 33k
Wests v Gold Coast 16k

19250 is solid start above average for most first rounds

also the average crowd should be higher due to the being introduced would not surprise me to see the average go up to around 17k this year

Looking at Ticketmaster, I'd be surprised if Cowboys was less than 18K. The lower bowl is pretty much down to single seats (8.1K), Western Grandstand is meant to be full (4.4K) and I'd say half of upper bowl is sold at least (12.7K).

Wellington is starting to gain some momentum, Bays 16, 17, 18 & 36 are now open, whilst 25 - 29 appear to be sold out. Bays 30 & 24 are also selling well, whilst all other bays on sale have a scattering of sales. Possibly sitting around 10Kish at the moment.

Had hoped it would be a bit higher considering this was last year's beaten finalist, at home, against a perennial contender on a clear evening. Still, a respectable turnout, and the biggest opening game crowd in 3 years, since the Eels opened with 21,363 vs the Bulldogs at Commbank in 2020.

Guess there's a fair bit on at the moment with plenty of people forking out for Ed Sheeran, Harry Styles, Snoop Dogg and Backstreet Boys concerts over consecutive weekends, along with the cost of living pressures people are currently under.

Eels Storm 17,000 (thurs night knocking 2-3k off it)

Spot on

 

[SouthsCountry]

Round 1:
Eels v Storm would have said 20k
NZ v Newcastle 14k
Penrith v Brisbane 19k
Manly v Canterbury 14k
North Qld v Canberra 16k
Cronulla v Souths 12k
Dolphins v Roosters 30k
Wests Tigers v Titans 14k

 

[SouthsCountry]

The problem is that in Brisbane city proper, (not the Moreton Bay area), most Broncos dissenters already follow what are practically the SEQ Titans

Aside note from Perths Red spot on crowd estimate which looked poor on the screen but what the hell is wrong with music today and why would people go and watch the shit like Ed Sheeran, Harry Styles, Scoop Dog Dirt and Backentry Boys....thats not music thats hell.

 

[Ride the Lion to Zion]

why would people go and watch the shit like Ed Sheeran, Harry Styles, Scoop Dog Dirt and Backentry Boys

Why do people watch the Swans?

Head for the hills. The collapse of Western Civilisation is imminent.

Head for the hills. The collapse of Western Civilisation is imminent.

I think what your trying to say is " Head for the Hills District ", in Sydney`s `Golden` west. Last bastion of western civilisation, home of the hi-visigoths.

Eels fans are fickle. Their team has let them down for nearly 40 years now.
If they have success, it will be a giant awakened.

home of the hi-visigoths.

This is amazing and why have I never heard it before?

 

[Billythekid]

It’s not a terrible crowd but it’s hard not to find it disappointing. Grand finalist last year against one of the perennial top teams in the comp. This is the sort of game that should draw a big crowd.

Having said that few games this year will reach that high on Thursday night.

Ed Sheeran is decent. Also this is the moment you became grandpa Simpson, we all get there eventually.

 

[Canard]

That's a f**king shit crowd for Round 1, if we're being honest

It's hardly "music today" when two of those acts became popular in the previous century.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Crowd action from last night on their way to their miraculous stadium.

I saw some people making their way in wheelchairs.

You heard it here first.
