2024 Crowd Watch

[Vlad59]

17,311 in Campbelltown for the Spoon Bowl. For their efforts, they get to see their team get the wooden spoon for a third year in a row.

It’s a very ordinary game

I'm guessing there is about 20k here at Accor but there's plenty still coming in

My q

Does anyone have any theories why crowds have grown so quickly?

Games are better to watch live with the 6 again rule, games are more open. Pre 6 again games had fewer ' get out of your seat' moments.

Larger crowds lead to fomo, seeing a packed stadium makes people want to attend.

Besides those 2, I'm struggling to think why crowds have risen so quickly ?

My question is how crowds are peaking in a cost-of-living crisis.

I guess it points to the increasing difference btw the Haves and the Have-nots.

Gee, f*cking huge crowd at Accor watching two foundation NRL clubs play their last game of the regular season isn’t it? You couldn’t possibly fit anymore people in there if you tried…

Contrary to (anticipated) popular opinion, I think this crowd (~20k) has landed in the "passable" range for the following reasons:
1. This game is being held at Accor Stadium and not Allianz Stadium
2. The South Sydney faithful (inc me) have clocked out of Accor Stadium
3. South Sydney was third last on the ladder coming into this game
4. The last time these two teams played, South Sydney lost 48-6

Christ it’s been sad watching the tigers not just for the past 3 years but really near the last 2 decades. Hope they can turn things around because there is so much potential there but fans can only be expected to put up with so much.
