Roosters now have an average at the SFS for season 2024 of 21,848. In a year where we don't host ANZAC Day that is a sensational result and should put to bed any thought that rebuilding the stadium wasn't good for the NRL.

Looking forward we have two more games there in the regular season:

Parra on a Friday night - This had huge potential when the fixture was announced but Parra haven't come to the party this season. Still, Friday night has always been our best drawing slot and decent weather should see 25k again.

Raiders on a Sunday Arvo (fathers day) - Hard to say with this one. We did play a low drawing side (GC) on fathers day in 2013 at the old ground for a crowd of 18k so if we can push 20k for this one that would be great.

Beyond that, our finals game (whenever that may be) will get 30k minimum and depending on opponent could go close to selling out.

3 game dogs membership sold out (belmore + rd26/27), i think the last two home games at accor at 20k minimum.

finals wise i think not far fetch to think 50k against sydney team, 40k against interstate team?


Sold Out Home Game at Bundaberg (Shame it's such a small capacity) also.

Manly game is the 6pm Friday game... Again shame it's not the 8pm game.

The old "The MCG had....." No one on a rugby league forum cares what the MCG had brother unless it's for State Of Origin. 1. Attending a sporting event in Melbourne and in Sydney are two completely different things and 2. We don't care about AFL, obviously you do so go find an AFL forum...
Nice response

Finals week 1 is starting to take shape. Storm are certainties to host and Penrith 95%. Best results for the teams to host the elimination finals would be Dogs and Dolphins

Storm v Sharks - 22k (Got to make sure this is not directly against an MCG AFL finals game)
Penrith v Roosters - Whatever the capacity is
Dogs v Manly - 35k
Dolphins v Cowboys - 40k

Saints sneaking in to 8th would produce a better crowd.

It is possible sharks and Manly host the eliminators which would drastically lower those figures although dogs getting in to 4th would mean a bumper ANZ crowd in week 2 or 3.

Back in 2017 we played a Sunday arvo for this reason and it drew really well from memory

Saturday arvo and they drew 22k although there was no clash with AFL in Melbourne on that occasion let alone MCG so not sure what that was about.

They did it again in 2019 and it drew 20k with also no clash with the AFL

In 2018 however they directly clashed with the MCG on a Friday night and only got 17k

Good stuff.

what’s the reasoning behind the game being played at this venue and not a double header at Optus stadium?
Apparently they tried to get a double header but couldn't get another team willing to sell us a home game. I guess with Vegas, magic weekend etc clubs are already giving up plenty of home games.

Its funny they have moved an Eagles game to same time, only Friday night game Eagles will play all season, What a coincidence lol. Ticket sales show it hasn't impacted the NRL interest which is good signs for a future Perth club.

true.

w@nkers.

this alone should be enough to award Perth the 18th NRL licence.
