2024 Crowd Watch

[Iamback]

Well hopefully there is a lot more like my son and I. We`re going but haven`t been in a rush to buy our tickets knowing that there`s not going to be a problem getting some.

A lot would be in this boat. Waiting for the 2 for 1.
Sunny day as opposed to the wet one they predicted should help

Yep. If they have a run of a few years missing the finals, I think they average like 10-12k.

Maybe.

But I reckon the Storm are about as likely as the Swans to have a bad half decade.

Which is to say those in power will never let it happen!

They said that about us

There's more to RL in Brisbane than the Broncos however.

Much like the Swans in Sydney, the Storm are literally it in Melbourne.

I'd be shocked if they spent more than two years out of the eight.

 

[t-ba]

I don't even mind tbh.

Melbourne's good for the comp. That's like one fifth of the country's population right there, and a lot of money. The ARU were nuts for not trying to scrape together some coin to keep the Rebels afloat.

 

[taste2taste]

28.5k Storm fans, if only every Sydney club could generate as much active support!

You do realise Sydney have 9 teams with a total average attendance of 140k

Storm can't sell out games when they are top of the ladder and the only team in town. Pathetic.

 

[yakstorm]

Few more bays now down to single seats compared to earlier in the week. Hopefully the weather holds out for tonight. Panthers end of the ground seems to selling a lot better than Sharks.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

GA memberships are no longer happening at the Broncos. A year earlier and we average 42k.

Level 7 east might be openned for 2025 memberships depending on demand.

This is such a cop-out. The Storm had their best season average ever the season they were forced to play for no points.

Out of Sydney teams like Melbourne, Brisbane, Cowboys, Warriors etc don't have these massive doubling or halving of crowds from one good year to a bad year, they actually support their team.

The majority of Sydney fans are just bandwagoners, only jumping on in good years and nowhere to be seen as soon as they miss the 8.

2010 was always going to be their new average attendance record due to the opening of AAMI Park. The $1 tickets for the last home game propped it up in any case.

My opinions is that if Melbourne fall in a hole, so will their attendances. Happy to be proven wrong but we won't see that until (if) they actually do.

Good Friday (no afl) and ANZAC Day drew north of 20k at the Etihad. Once they moved to AAMI they had a big crowd to open with then were immediately pulling 9-11k.

Prior to 2010 the storm played at a smaller venue

All teams in the comp see their crowd average drop when they do bad, that’s unquestionable. Personally I think there is no reason to think storm crowds would suddenly become the worst in the comp due to a bad run of form. Storm have a lot going for them that would prevent that. Great stadium, great public transport, no competition for fans of any version of rugby, the fan base largely being more devoted fans (there isn’t the casual fan base to fuel crowds like there is in rugby league heartlands).

Crowds would drop but it would take something crazy happening for crowds to drop back down to 10K-11K, that’s wishful thinking.

That’s stupid what about people that aren’t well off? I assume they’ll have to pay more for the flexi?

No it's all good - the area will be the same price that GA was, they'll just have an assigned seat

 

[ground zero]

Will the Sharks be asking the Grand final to be played at Shark Park next week if they beat the Panthers.

 

[cleary89]

What are we guessing for tonight?

 

[i0Nic]

33 400

Did you know that they own their own ground?

And what a ground!

It’s got lots of ground in it!
