The Game 2023 Crowd Watch

[RedVee_8]

You think those brisbane people are there to watch the warriors lol?

Cos there are no NZers in QLD?

 

[bazza]

The broncos pulled 50k Week 1.

Its only Warriors fans and trolls saying this sort of thing.

And if it riles up Broncos fans i am hear for it.

Thankfully Melbourne fans showed up in Week 1

Storm got 30k to a Prelim up there in the bubble, Plenty of Kiwis up there to watch a kiwi side too

A man of my own heart. hahaha

Just imagine 15 Mediterranean Descendants going crazy over a game that none of us support, half going for the Bronx and other half Wahs. Going to be a classic lol

 

[King-Gutho94]

Yeah missed that.

More impressive for a semi.

First Parramatta final in Sydney in 8 years that was.

A lot of fans had 8 years to save up for finals tickets.

44,327 - Eels vs Cowboys at Accor Stadium (2005)

That 2005 crowd between Eels and Cowboys most of them had left with 20 mins to go.

Would have been near empty come fulltime.

 

[Harry O]

No. I’m not sure I care either.

Yes you do, you love me

Here's the crowd figures for Preliminary Finals held in Sydney + featuring one Sydney team in the 21st Century:
45,702 - Sharks vs Warriors at Accor Stadium (2002)
44,327 - Eels vs Cowboys at Accor Stadium (2005)
43,174 - Panthers vs Warriors at Accor Stadium (2003)
43,048 - Roosters vs Cowboys at Accor Stadium (2004)
40,901 - Dragons vs Storm at Accor Stadium (2006)
37,752 - Roosters vs Knights at the old Allianz Stadium (2013)
36,717 - Sharks vs Cowboys at the old Allianz Stadium (2016)
34,184 - Eels vs Broncos at Accor Stadium (2001)
33,727 - Roosters vs Knights at the old Allianz Stadium (2000)
32,611 - Sea Eagles vs Cowboys at the old Allianz Stadium (2007)
32,184 - Roosters vs Storm at the SCG (2019)
32,095 - Sea Eagles vs Warriors at the old Allianz Stadium (2008)
31,894 - Sea Eagles vs Broncos at the old Allianz Stadium (2011)
31,438 - Sharks vs Knights at the old Allianz Stadium (2001)
31,087 - Eels vs Broncos at Accor Stadium (2000)
29,511 - Bulldogs vs Broncos at the old Allianz Stadium (2006)
28,251 - Roosters vs Broncos at the old Allianz Stadium (2002)
28,108 - Roosters vs Cowboys at the old Allianz Stadium (2017)
27,570 - Sharks vs Storm at the old Allianz Stadium (2008)

That's an average of 34,962 for 19 games.

I think anything better than the average would be a good result. Anything less would be disappointing for a two-time reigning Premiership team.

And for what it's worth, the Daily Telegraph is suggesting that will be the crowd figure:

Eels v Dogs in 2009 got 75K

 

[King-Gutho94]

Eels v Dogs in 2009 got 75K

That list is 1 sydney team vs non-sydney team

 

[Harry O]

Eels v Dogs in 2009 got 75K

Was there behind the sticks for this

Just print 20,000 tickets and hand them to schools.

 

[Harry O]

Just print 20,000 tickets and hand them to schools.

The best idea ever,well done.

 

[Harry O]

Wish I knew this before I bought tickets,grrrr

 

[yakstorm]

Just print 20,000 tickets and hand them to schools.

Yeap and they should have started printing them at fulltime after the Panthers v Warriors qualification final.

Panthers were always going to pick Accor over Allianz and whilst a Panthers v Roosters or Sharks game would have been an easier sell, those games still would have had around a 40K upper limit.

 

[Stinkfinger]

Next year wish for a eels v buuldogs or a eels v dragons preliminary final.

That is the only way you'll sell out accor for a prelim.

Even those wouldn't sell it out but they'd go a lot closer than this.

 

[Stinkfinger]

What's the thinking behind Pen v Mel at Accor ?

Surely Combank would have been a more obvious choice ?

Accor will get a better crowd. Parking is better and its better serviced by public transport.

2017 Prelim Eels v Cowboys Accor stadium 41287

That was week 2
