The Game 2023 Crowd Watch

[Harry O]

They won the A League 6-1 over Melbourne City (absolutely no publicity around the game lol)

Because of the NRL game apparently their celebrations are at Erina Fair Shopping Centre. Dare say a few may leave that mid morning function around lunchtime for a dose of rugby league!

BTW the final drew 26k at Parramatta, which is only about the same as the Eels get against a Sydney club. It was Central Coast v Melbourne though so their plan to come back to the "home of soccer" in Sydney clearly backfired not selling out a 30,000 seat venue.

Was good to see them win though, a battler club like Cronulla (and my nominal A-League team)

6-1? Did the other team have a goal keeper?

By the way people we now have Darwin as an RL city

Parra v Brisbane Rd8 11,864
AFL tonight GC v Adelaide Clowns 10,772

Thanks, we now own the NT

6-1? Did the other team have a goal keeper?

Yes, the same one that got hit by a bucket in the Melbourne Derby.

 

[Dark Corner]

GA sold out but still a fair few seats available in parts of the upper deck on the Eastern side, most of those could easily disappear tomorrow but at worst it is looking like 18-19,000 crowd which is pretty close to 20,060 capacity.

And the A-League couldn't sell out the final.

 

[Ride the Lion to Zion]

Warriors absolutely smashing it and that result will get them back for the next one

Yet another careless presumption that a good crowd next time depends on a good result this time.

Warriors lost last week. Sold the stadium out this week.

Next game at Mount Smart against South Sydney looks a beauty. A loss to the Dolphins wouldn't have altered that.

TBA?

I’d had too much beer to catch that

Ditto. Also, I don't watch Nein if I have an option.

Beer is good

Could you imagine a Tri-Series in NZ featuring the Kiwis, Tonga & Samoa running parallel to Origin?

You would comfortably draw 20K+ to all 3 matches and would do wonders for the Kiwis profile and NZRL bank account.

It would be brilliant, but needs to be a Four-Nations (or even 6 or 8 later on)

Add Fiji/PNG and one more and we get 2-3 games a week across the series

 

[Marlins]

War/Dol - 23,686

 

[SouthsCountry]

This game would be full if they didn't have a direct clash with all four Central Coast Rugby League fixtures this weekend.

4 games of Local First Grade all kick off at 2:30

 

[SouthsCountry]

Also, remember the days when Easts-Canterbury was a big fixture...used to get 25k+ in the 2000s

36,526 in 2008

Now relegated to the Roosters' Central Coast game

6-1? Did the other team have a goal keeper?

A turnstile mechanic I believe.

Well the crowd on the CC looks and sounds great, despite Captain Negative a few posts above.

WTF?
Each of the 4 games of Local First Grade would be lucky to have a crowd of 500

 

[It's Been Done]

A good chunk of the crowd were Bulldogs fans as well. I'm guessing the Roosters will request their opponents in their Gosford games are Sydney teams from now on

Yes but the local footballers, trainers and supporters couldn't go, which would have turned the 18k into 20k.

Just a bit strange IMO considering Wagga, Tamworth, Bathurst and Coffs all had no local footy scheduled on the weekend when the NRL rolled into town.
