If you think 16k is a shit crowd in Melbourne, take yourself to a Rebels game.

Thanks, i thought that you probably didn’t have direct knowledge of the geographical and socioeconomic factors that determine the support of sports in Australia

No worries mate.

So 6000 spare seats for a sellout, that is probably more seats than Shark park has. I hope the Olympics games money fix the access issues and usability of Lang park, so that they get full utility.

Anything Broncos could do to convert sell outs for the bigger games to crowds closer to 50k? Is the difference just member no shows?

Great crowds either way, Broncos on their way to their best season for crowds this century, 2nd best ever season is doable.

83000 for the first three games. Better than solid.

Seems the sell out claim was a bit of bs. Hard to believe 6k members haven’t turned up for the derby on a Friday night.

I think we just need to boot the GA areas. Suncorp members were disappointing again.

It’s school holidays, maybe a lot of family’s have gone away.

Always good to have a Pom in Perth and a Pom in Pommy land advising us about crowds on the East Coast of Australia.

Add to that the sharks aren’t playing at home this round to shoot it to sh#t it’s more than solid.

Melbourne crowd was ok, shows how far we’ve come that we consider 16k at 6pm in afl land just ok!

surprising amount of empty seats at Suncorp for a sell out. Around 49k I’m guessing?

As @yakstorm said significant improvements on their last fixtures against Bulldogs and 6pm Friday. Melbourne will be 4/5 20k+ for their first 5 homes games which has definitely never happened before. I’d be surprised if they’ve gotten 4 20k+ crowds in a regular season before tbh, maybe last year with the games at Marvel which drew well.

Wouldn’t be surprised if they hit another 20k after Anzac Day, they’ve got some good times for their remaining games.

You obviously don’t understand what a sell out is. You and Brian are idiots.

And you obviously don’t being a sharks fan.

The issue isn't access or usability, it's members not turning up

Just like in the stadium thread the flop from Perth hasn't done his research.

Stadium members take up about 8.5k seats. Their areas are often 50-60% full, so let's take 4,000 off the capacity. We now have 48,500. Then, the Broncos sell areas as GA - this reduces the capacity to ease pressure on ushers. lets work with 48,000ish. I don't think the crowd is disappointing, but it is certainly less than I thought. In any case, a sell out.

This has been discussed and explained here endlessly. Either some here are just plain dumb or mischievous.

Might be an idea for Cowboys & Dolphins games, maybe Titans.

Seriously mate how many times has this been explained. ‘Flop’ is being kind

f**k me this is tiresome.

You can sell all available seats to a game and not have a full stadium because people who hold tickets or memberships don't turn up. Claiming a "sell out is bs" is childish.
