The Game 2023 Crowd Watch

[Harry O]

No way ch 9 would have allowed that.

The small crowd is due to the storm doubling thier ticket prices.

Why would they do that?

 

[Pneuma]

Crowd in Melbourne looks around 18000-19000. Across the road two fumbler clubs with massive support bases will get about 5 times that. That’s the way it is. Storm have a nice niche growing supporter base in Melbourne. Their crowds are up. The game is growing there. They are in week two of the finals. Don’t think for a second the fumblers want them in Melbourne. We are a threat there because they see every other sport as a threat. Melbourne is the hardest market to crack and the Storm are now established there. Ffs some of you need to see the bigger picture.

Nice post, but I thought the Storm gets averages of of over 20k this year? For finals footy it's no where near that tonight I don't think.

You’re correct. You don’t think.

Nup. Just logical. I’ve been to Melbourne enough times to know what’s it’s like. The game is going well there but it’s up against huge odds.

This game Sunday at 3.30pm would be a sellout thanks ch9

Than put some logic into the NRL then, to tell Nine where to go, and schedule it for Sat night FFS

Is it really? Or is it the event across the road?

It's ok to admit clashing with the AFL semi is a terrible idea.

Channel 9 are just doing what anyone would do in their position. It's up to the NRL to show some balls and just move it, channel 9 can't stop them. Negotiate some compensation and move on.

Nine only cares about what is best for Channel 9, and the reality is Friday is a significantly larger TV night than Saturday.

Channel 9 would consider themselves being 'reasonable' by not forcing the Warriors to kick off at 9pm on Saturday.

Jesus mate shut up. It’s Friday night footy. The ratings will be massive and that’s what fuels the game.

 

[Harry O]

Anyway the ratings for NRL tonight will hopefully smash that garbage next door.

Stop making sense. The children are playing here.

You’d be watching the AFLW though?

 

[It's Been Done]

There's a decent amount of Roosters fans at the game. 20 years ago at the same game they'd be lucky to get over 7% of the support at a game in Victoria like most other teams except for the likes of Brisbane, St George and the Warriors who historically have the best support in Melbourne aside from the Storm

19,534. Not spectacular, not awful.

 

[Willy2452]

19,534 at Melbourne

 

[DIOGENES]

By the comments here, I thought it was under 10k

Not bad considering the 95k crowd across the tracks would've scared a few casuals away
