2025 Crowd Watch

[League Unlimited News]

 

[Speedy Gonzales]

Great crowd in Melbourne and the ever-reliable Novocastrians are out in force.

I get the feeling the Tigers need a W to inject a bit of excitement into the somewhat-forgotten Easter Monday clash between the Tigers and the Eels. There's still a swathe of tickets available for that game.

I think Easter Monday comfortably gets 20k+ but I’m not sure many eels fans would want to watch their team play like busteds. Hopefully tigers fans pick up the slack this time round and get close to a sell out

I’ll predict 25k

 

[i0Nic]

Manly v Saints 17k
Dogs v Bunnies 56k
Phins v Storm 24k
Warriors v Bronx 23k
Easts v Penrith 22k
Tits v Canberra 14k
Knights v Sharks 25k
Tigers v Eels 24k

Avg - 25,625

A mammoth round for crowds next week, especially without a Brisbane home game as well.

We won’t get 25K after that atrocity today. Only glutens for punishment like me will rock up. 18k at most.

To be fair, Storm are favourites to win the competition with one of the most entertaining teams in the comp.
Newcastle just got flogged by the Tigers..

It is very encouraging to see these Melbourne crowds though!
I'd like to see them host a double header at the MCG Next year during gather round.

who would the teams be (apart from Storm of course)?

who would the teams be (apart from Storm of course)?

Broncos will probably be one of them as they have a decent following in Victoria. Manly and the Roosters both have had huge growth in support in Victoria (at least from what I've seen in the outer South-Eastern suburbs of Melbourne). Souths and St George are two other good options alongside the Warriors. With Parramatta ending their contract in the Northern Territory, they could sell one of their games to Victoria as well

The key point from some creative Googling:
Canterbury Bulldogs are now expecting a crowd of up to 70,000 at Accor on Good Friday judging by early ticket sales.

I like it. I'd go:
Storm v Auckland
Parra v Broncos

The Canterbury Bulldogs are now expecting a crowd of up to 70,000 at Accor on Good Friday judging by early ticket sales. CEO Aaron Warburton has security meetings planned with police and stadium security staff in the lead up to the game to prevent a repeat of recent spectator incidents.
A stadium spokesperson said: “Venues NSW has a zero-tolerance approach to anti-social behaviour and we have in place strong processes to identify, respond to and resolve incidents.
Any offenders will be dealt with by police and face bans from attending future events.”

I can see dolphins v storm getting a few thousand more and dogs v souths threatening 60k.

titans v Canberra will be 11k-12k

100% instead of talking up a potential NRL record crowd he is trying to keep families away.

For a sport that averages around 20K, I still don't get why we are all being so harsh on Perth getting 31K yesterday.

I mean we can count on one hand all the clubs who will draw a larger crowd this year.

Anyway rather than looking at just one event, we should consider everything taking place in Perth this year. Origin is selling great & will sell out. Extra seats have been added this year (versus last time), so it will push close to 65K.

Meanwhile the Dolphins Round 16 game at HBF Park is trending ahead of the same fixture last year & will most likely sell out.

That's 110K+ from 3 events. That's far from an insignificant number and IMO enough evidence to suggest there is enough support for an NRL franchise.

If they want a team they are going to have to show up every fortnight, not three times a year. It was a poor crowd because it was an event game, at the city's best stadium and is in decline from crowds to these Perth double headers of the past

I wonder why?

AAMI Park not looking particularly full at the moment, security might be running slower in light of the morons who took guns into the MCG the other week though.

Security was very thorough today. Had to take everything out of bags so they could check that nothing was hidden in bottom of bags

 

[Gobsmacked]

who would the teams be (apart from Storm of course)?

Warriors, Broncos, Souths.
You need the biggest clubs and Warriors are a must in Melbourne.

 

[Gobsmacked]

I wonder why?

Why wouldn't Perth put its best foot forward when negotiating getting it's own club?
Who knows.
Only a moron would think a bad turnout helps gain entry into the NRL.

Maybe if it were in the low 20's we'd fast track a Perth team...

Idiot.

Out of all the positives that this is..this is what they write?
Man it's tough being a League supporter.

I wonder why?

No reason, talks are ongoing and the team will be sorted. Piss poor effort

 

[taste2taste]

Any therories why the storm sold out ?

Lots of kiwi ex pats ? No AFL ? Did the storm run a promo for tixs ?
