2024 Crowd Watch

[yakstorm]

So QE2 then?

Pretty much. Then imagine what crowd the Broncos would get there on a wet Thursday night, whilst coming last in the comp.

40,190 at Suncorp

Look it’s an ok crowd but apparently Perth got a bigger crowd some years ago for an origin game. Forgot who mentioned it

Agree. I mean if the Broncos are going to have so many empty seats, maybe they should consider moving some games to Davies Park.

As for bloody kayo park wtf? All games should be played at the seventh wonder of the world. Hbf stadium in Perth. Has a nice shed I’ve heard

I'd prefer Oxenham Park, Nundah.

10,215 at Brookvale tonight, so after 3 games we are at 58,560 (19,520 average)

That's surprising after the sell-outs they've been having.

Worst place for the Friday early game, and about 3 Canberra fans.

Is 6pm so bad when most the fans live locally?

 

[Warriors Fever]

Manly crowd is ok considering weather, timeslot and opposition.

 

[Warriors Fever]

Their next game at brookie is storm on a Friday, should sell out

Live locally doesn't always mean work locally

 

[Bukowski]

Live locally doesn't always mean work locally

That's true. I was just a bit surprised.

Broncos cruising towards their biggest season average at Suncorp. Currently averaging 41,000 after 5 games.

Averages to beat:
43,200 - 1993 (Highest @ QE2)
37,705 - 1994
35,902 - 1995
35,032 - 2010 (Highest @ Suncorp)
34,587 - 2009

1993 won’t be beaten until Suncorp gets upgraded to 60-70k. The others are very much under threat, 35,353 average or 247,472 total needed from the remaining 7 games to beat 1994. Games to come:

R12 V Titans - 2pm Sunday
R14 V Sharks - 7:35pm Saturday
R18 V Panthers - 8pm Friday
R19 V Dragons - 7:35pm Saturday
R21 V Bulldogs - 3pm Saturday
R25 V Eels - 8pm Friday
R27 V Storm - 7:50pm Thursday

Getting back to the good side of The Spit on a Friday afternoon/evening after work is hell.

As others have said, Brookvale Oval is not an easy venue to get to at 6pm. For those who work in the city, getting back to the Beaches is a punish and even for those who live locally, Pittwatter Rd in peak hour is just its own type of hell.

That said, if the weather was fine yesterday, I think the Sea Eagles would have got 15K+. Their pre-sales were strong, but with only 9,000-odd seats, it means fans have to choose between standing on a muddy hill in the pouring rain or stay home and watch it.

Is 6pm so bad when most the fans live locally?

Yes. Most would work in the city and getting back across to the area is horrible

 

[T-Boon]

Brookvale is a bad place to play any game.

So for the remainder of the round we are looking at:

Bulldogs v Wests Tigers : Best pre-sales yet for a Dogs game this year, still letting any military personnel in for free, if the rain stays away (currently it is), 20K is still feasible, otherwise maybe 12K.

Titans v Storm : To me it doesn't look like it is selling any better or worse than their previous games. I'd say 14K

Cowboys v Dolphins : Strong pre-sales, tracking for 23K+.

Knights v Warriors : Set to be weather dependant. Pre-sales looks good and trending more towards 20K+ if the weather holds. Otherwise, maybe 12K.

Sharks v Dragons : Sold out, even with rain should still be 12K+

Round looking like 130Kish - 150Kish.
