2024 Crowd Watch

[Wb1234]

I’d be looking at CommBank for 5 or 6 games rather than Accor.
5or 6 at C’town and 1 or 2 Heritage games at Leichhardt.

Allianz

their crowds at com bank have been poor

tigers crowds at the old sfs were decent when they played home games there

Looking ahead a couple of rounds to ANZAC Round (technically only a week and a half away).

Warriors v Titans:
Less than 50 grandstand tickets left, comfortably tracking to be the Warriors fifth sell out in a row.

Dragons v Roosters:
Lower bowl is down to single seats, level 2 is sold out along the sidelines, with only behind the posts left, whilst level four is selling really well. Would say it's close to the 30K mark now and should comfortably get to 40K by game day.

Storm v Rabbitohs:
Storm have rightfully removed GA for this game, sidelines on the lower bowl are pretty much gone and in the upper bays are selling into Row W. Will definitely be over 20K based upon current sales, will be interesting to see if the change in opposition affects whether the match sells out or not.

Sea Eagles v Eels:
All seats have already sold out for this one. Just the hill left. Sea Eagles are on track for their third sell out for the year unless the Titans happen to put 80 on them next week.

Wests Tigers v Broncos:
Today's sell out is already pushing sales into the Wests Tigers next home game at Campbelltown. Of the 10 bays put on sale, 6 are already down to single seats or have sold out.

Allianz works in terms of playing to the Inner-West side of the franchise. It is only 8kms from Leichhardt Oval and it's 10kms from Ashfield. Modern venue, it's less considered a one club venue than CommBank is. If I was doing the club split, I'd be pushing for 8 at Campbelltown and 4 at Allianz.

It was a suggestion bro, not an evidence based research thesis.

I suggest your next idea be an evidence based research thesis bro

One at lo for the memories but Majority at Campbeltown

If Leichhardt has OHS or WHS issues, then it is unlikely the Tigers would return, even for one or two games. And if all teams abandon Accor, then it won't get fixed into a rectangular ground anytime soon.

It’s quite amusing that in what is becoming a golden age of crowds the two biggest whingers about attendances are a couple of ignorant Poms

And the biggest whinger of all is a supporter of the club with the smallest* stadium in said booming competition draggging the overall attendance down every other week.

*dolphins have suncorp stadium as home ground too.

 

[Brian potter]

Good summary. And we’ve now got Pommy Brian to take the negative lead.

I agree and the sharks still fall way short of the new disgusting bar set at 15k.

This

Wests are always well supported at SFS, behind only Souths and dragons at roosters home games in my experience.

Look I just think CommBank is in the wrong direction long term for Tigers fans, maybe in the meantime but Campbelltown is their future and that`s what they should be ultimately aiming for.
It`s a good distance from the rest of the heartlands and as mentioned could work in with the A-League and union would probably play a few games down there. Much more likely the State Gov will fund a stadium at some point for the massively growing population down there.
Yeah and maybe play a game or two at Leichardt.

 

[Mother Nature's Son]

The way I see it, the Tigers realistically have 3 options longterm:
* (12 games) Campbelltown Redevlopment - State government funding relying on all games moved there. Helped by Macarthur FC in the Aleague.

* (11/12 games) Accor Stadium Redevelopment - State Government funding. With a 40k club mode and a bit lobbying to get the Campbelltown to Parramatta Metro built earlier.

* (12 games) Liverpool stadium - Privately funded with the Bulldogs - State government won't fund a new stadium to have both tennants move out of an exisiting stadium they own.

Unfortunately I can't see Liechhardt getting funding, outside of small things like change room upgrades. The bigger upgrades the Tigers need, aren't really neccesary for the other tennants. It's never going to have more than 6 games a year there and strategically for the Tigers it shouldn't.

Yeah I like option one, that`s where their future lies.

I’m all for playing more at C’town as I’ve lived here the last 30+ years. But I remember the first year of CommBank the WTiges had that as a home ground, and only a couple of weeks ago their fans seemed to flock to the ground v Parra.

Remember for all the old Sydney teams, plenty of supporters have moved to the west from their original home bases over the decades.

Why all the empty seats for a sell-out?

Lots of fans just milling around inside the ground.

I reckon alot of their fans are standing/sitting on the hill. Could be a reason. Surely not many of their members didn't turn up.

Might be in the bar until the shade comes across

And if all teams abandon Accor, then it won't get fixed into a rectangular ground anytime soon.

Or maybe if it becomes a massive white elephant with no tenants it might motivate the nsw govt to sort it out?

 

[Perth Red]

Re Tigers Allianz would make sense. 6 games there 6 at campbelltown and push for an upgrade.
If Dragons and souths move to allIanz as well those clubs, along with roosters, would be in a great position to offer reciprocal membership agreements for full ticketed members leading to huge crowds and great value for fans.

No I think the reason West Tigers crowds all these years ago was having multiple grounds like when they added the old SFS as well.....1 ground.

 

[Perth Red]

17,141 ‘sell out’ for tigers. Looks a lot more than 350 empty seats, crowds going way of membership counting?

good crowd all things considered
