2024 Crowd Watch

[Brian potter]

Raiders are holding back the NRL with crowds like that in that dump of a stadium

Raiders dump of a stadium is twice the size of the dump of a stadium shark park and the raiders have a far better average attendance this season than the sharks who I believe are bottom of the table for average crowds in 2024.

Move them to the Central Coast or Perth. Where I have I read this before?

no need as the raiders are fine where they are.

it’s the sharks who should relocate to either central coast or Adelaide with a 1 off heritage game played at shark park every year possibly against the dragons which could potentially see a 11k sellout.

Horrible weather again in Melbourne today. Looks like on the radar it'll be on and off showers for a while which might scare a few people away from tonight's game

Looks like the cold & wet weather may have kept some away in Melbourne. Crowd still looks good but pre-sales were very good.

Great crowd in Newcastle!

On and off rain all day will do that combined with bitterly cold winds that are thankfully calming down now. Welcome to Melbourne winters

Amazing crowd! Also whilst it wasn’t raining it is a cold windy day here in the Hunter.

Have the hills in Newcastle been further reduced in capacity this year? Capacity is listed as 33k, last year their last 2 games got 29.5k for a sellout. This year their highest sellout crowd is 27k against the Panthers.

If so another reason they should get an end stand or 2 built.

Feel like the Storm's crowds have a lot to do with the opposition.

And while the Roosters have definitely grown their fanbase over the last 20 years, I reckon most of them aren't old enough to be moving around the country for work/life to be impacting away crowds just yet.

really ? how come ?

they are at the top of the table and they can’t sell out a pretty small stadium with all the success they have had for decades now..a city of 5 million

time to call a spade a spade

Because they have like 13,000 or so rusted ons by the looks of things.

And rely on opposition fans to boost their fixtures. Teams with lots of fans in Melbourne like the Warriors and the Broncos.

That's life I guess. They're probably better supported than my club so I can hardly talk.

Seems a reasonable estimate ..

so why not more ? After 25 years ? And a lot of success

I'm not the diviner of Melbourne success.

My point was more about the fact that the Roosters fans skew young and haven't yet started moving around the country because of adult shit, like how the Dragons used to draw really well on the Gold Coast but now less so because all the old bastards who retired to Mermaid Waters have started dying off.

i think they need to be getting more Storm fans there after 25 years ..20 at the top of the table ..,13k “ rusted ons” ain’t cutting it
