2024 Crowd Watch

[Vlad59]

Based upon what criteria? It's still larger than at least 3 other games this round and all but 1 last round.

Sure we'd love it to be more, but it's not horrible and it is the first time the club has drawn less than 20K at Suncorp (let's not forget even the Broncos have had a number of sub-20K crowds at Suncorp since moving back there)

I am curious as to what is deemed a decent crowd by your standards? You gave over 300 posts on this thread and I can't see one that is positive

Maybe it’s Perth Reds mother?

So good we copied the Anzac thing from afl it gives us basically a round of sell outs

Canberra looks great

Wtf are you on about?

I feel dirty but I googled your fumbleball:

The first Anzac Day match

Anzac Day football hasn’t always been about Essendon and Collingwood at the ‘G.

1927 is before 1960 I'm pretty sure.

I could have sworn they had a few aus vs nz test matches on Anzac day in the 70s and 80s.

based on crowds last year and the dolphins current form and league position.

when finishing in the bottom 4 sure.

i suggest you look harder.

Just endlessly complaining because you are a miserable Pom.

I get that being a sharks fan can’t be easy when the NRL is booming what with your sh#t ground.

I’ll be there next week in the marquee having a ball while you’ll be sitting in north England whinging. You sad sad bastard.

Is 18k a little less than expected? Yes
Are the Knights a big draw in Brisbane? No

Let's get some context here...

1. the Broncos averaged 18k in their second season (drew 13k at Suncorp v the Knights that year). Yes, I get it was 35 years ago, but they didn't have an established Brisbane NRL team or even a credible AFL team to compete against.

2. The Dolphins have the Broncos, Storm and Warriors games still to come. Their average will be very healthy come end of season.

3. Our second NRL team's worst Suncorp crowd still beat the Reds - lol

Re: the Dolphins needing a geographical name to grow, whilst it wouldn't hurt, it's not the main issue as they look to establish their identity in the city. It's the players.

Obviously the Dolphins recruited the best they could in the time they had. But what really needs to happen (and it will) is for the team to start filling with more Queenslanders and maybe a couple more QLD Origin players. That's when they'll really start to build. They have the pathways already in place and the production line will begin to produce in the next couple of years.

In the mean time, they are doing just fine.

Interesting how many people here notice what a whinger you are. Coincidence? I think not!

And bringing the aggregate round attendance down.

Yeah I remember that far back as well. Phins need to keep winning and building their profile. That’s why I think it will take 5 years for them to really draw big crowds consistently. Be nice to see them and the broncos averaging well over 30000 each in the future. Broncos are bloody huge right now. I’m loving it.

The buzz at the moment here around the Broncos hasn't been this big since the 90s, it's great to see.

You’ve started early but that’s okay. Nobody expects anything else from you. Your reputation as a misery guts is well known.

I was there in November and there was Broncos gear all over the place. Possibly is giving the Phins difficulty to get breathing space in the market. Great problem to have.

Only got the NRL’s best interest at heart mate.

game is booming and clubs like the sharks are dragging it down in my opinion.

Keep them coming as you keep proving my point.

 

[Vlad59]

With good weather there is nothing stopping us getting over 160000 up to 170000 this week.

 

[Brian potter]

By being factual?

 

[Yosemite Sam]

By being factual?

You are just embarrassing yourself. I'm going easy on you because you're obviously not very intelligent.

But

Have a look at the facts. Over the years Broncos crowds against the Knights have normally been 20-25K. Yet you expect the Dolphins, a brand new club, to do the same? There is no logic in your posts.

Stop clogging up the thread with nonsense.

 

[Brutus]

The injury-ravaged Dolphins are doing just fine.

I suspect hes talking about where it became an "event" with two fixed teams. ie AFLPies/Bombres in 1995 and NRLRoosters/Dragons in 2002.
