It’s a very ordinary game17,311 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.

Enjoy mateI'm guessing there is about 20k here at Accor but there's plenty still coming in
Somehow I don't think I will lolEnjoy mate
I tipped the rabbits. You’re no chanceSomehow I don't think I will lol
My question is how crowds are peaking in a cost-of-living crisis.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 ?
Post covid world wide crowds have jumped ..not just nrlMulti factorial growth
better stadiums for some
success for others
better membership programs for some
dolphins admission
news ltd not bagging the game at every opportunity
nrl marketing doing a better job
talk of More expansion creating positive vibes
love it or hate it some players being hyped into superstars (gets the kids interested)
long may it continue, so close to Dave smiths 20k avg vision at long last!
ps I do think there is a post covid bounce. For example The live music and comedy venues I go to are crammed, much more packed than pre covid. Considering we are supposed to be in a cost of living crisis people seem to be willing to spend on getting out the house at the moment.
The subject of possible traction for a Tigers NRL franchise in SEQ was in question form.Your point about the merch is a good one … but I think you have been headline reading if you honestly believe the Maggies and Balmain are “uncoupling “…
WT are last for the third year in a row … yet have sold out their last game of the season … and others throughout the year … is this something you think they ( both entities and the NRL) should be effing around with ?
Isn't this precisely the point though?Balmain have nothing. No money, no prospects, nothing. If they leave wests they're dead in the water.

If Campbelltown is the future of Wests, would local support be affected by the choice of Magpies over Tigers?
Balmain bring there own fans ..so it’s more than just a name that they offer …. I don’t know if they just transition over to following the Brisbane Easts Tigers who play their games 1,000km away…. I think you would find that a lot would give the game away…Isn't this precisely the point though?
The Balmain component of the merged entity is more or less nominal. Other than history, all they bring is the name "Tigers". Which seamlessly blends with the identity of Brisbane Easts. Who just happen to be the club best placed to play an integral role in creating the next NRL franchise in SEQ.
This is a mirror image of North Sydney supporters re the proposals for Western Bears.Balmain bring there own fans ..so it’s more than just a name that they offer ….

I suggested on last year's crowd thread that increases in various forms of RL participation was one factor feeding through into higher attendances.Does anyone have any theories why crowds have grown so quickly?

The decoupling scenario implies Wests are already minded to heavily favour the Macarthur Region in all their future plans and marketing. Disenchanted Balmain fans might "give the game away" anyway.
Whatever the final look of a 20-team comp, any existing or amended rationalisation from NSWRL inevitably entails the hope that fans will embrace changing allegiances over time.
