2025 Crowd Watch

15k this week
Panthers next home game v Cows 6pm Friday will have no one

I know planning the draw is complicated but that is a game that should have either been saved for Magic Round or been taken to Mudgee or Bathurst.

Broncos away game at Magic was worth more cash to the club. They are trying to close the gap in lost ticket sales.

As for CommBank.
15k this week seems spot on.

10k will be my guess for Cows game
We play Dogs on a Thurs night. I guess form will decide if that beats this week.

The rest should sit between 15-20k

Have a look at Rd 3 punters..

7 out of 8 sell outs could be on cards

Some people like big new stadiums, some people like sitting on a hill with a tinny. I’m a hill and a tinny kind of guy. And if the game was moved to a bigger stadium further from home I’d watch the game on the Tv at home. F trecking into the city to sit in a half empty stadium and getting home after midnight.

I have to drive 140 k to watch Storm play (home games) some night games I get home about 1 am. Been doing that about 5 yrs.

It's really starting to do my head in (not being at the SFS).

Anecdotally, I see a lot of 50+ year olds at our games, and then a lot of young families (30-40 somethings with their kids - the bracket I fall into). I don't see a lot of 20-somethings.

That's the generation gap I see Souths face at games, and to me 90% of that problem is Olympic Park. As a club we're losing a culture of attendance IMO.

I'm a tragic and I remember in my early twenties - admittedly we weren't a very good team then - but it was nigh impossible to get my mates to come to the footy on a Friday or Saturday night. They would happily go to Shark Park (then Northies after), SFS (then the city after) or even to Parra (then a myriad of food/drink options after) though.

There is nothing to do in Homebush. Not just the area. It's the stadium, too.

There is nothing to entice you to go to a shitty match in the middle of July at the cost of $60-70 a ticket. Sure, some tickets are $20, but you're 100m+ from the field and the experience is so poor it's not worth the attendance.

The other thing being that Accor is an event stadium, with a large number of events happening over summer into March, and as such all Souths home games tend to get sandwiched there during the dull middle period of the season when crowds across the board in Sydney struggle.

We really, really, need to get out of there.

Good points. But I never understood the need to do something before or after a match.

The outing is the game for me, not anything before and after. boring!
