2025 Crowd Watch

[Vlad59]

With Dragons, IMO, they should play all of their Sydney games at Allianz. With Wests, it is a little tricky. They want Campbelltown to be updraded, but the council wants an increase of Tigers games first to help justify future funding. Campbelltown council wants 7 or 8 games.

Meanwhile Leichhardt is getting a $40 million upgrade. There would be pressure on the Tigers to continue to use Leichhardt as a home ground.

But overall, Tigers lose money playing at Campbelltown and Leichhardt and need to use Commbank or Allianz to help improve the bottom line.

Tigers are in an awkward position.

Agree with this.

I’d say max 4 or 5 at SFS. There will need to be 1 or more games at Jubilee vs lower drawing teams.

A heritage game at Kogarah may be ok. I just want our club to be strong again. Playing home games at a modern stadium like Allianz will help the club. You only have to look at the Roosters attendances since the new SFS has opened.

 

[Brutus]

Roosters cost themselves at least 7k by not playing at Allianz last night.

Wouldn't have said that back in the old SFS days.

Let me have a guess it's raining in Auckland? And this will reduce the crowd!

If Parramatta beat Penrith this weekend coming and IF Dogs play Galvin the need to promote this game isn't needed as it'll be the talk of the town all week!

Good weather and if the Dogs do the $10 or so tickets for the nose bleeds this game could beat Good Friday I reckon.

70k+?

70k+?

That would be crazy but not impossible

Hope so, that would be exceptional

Yes agree. Neither current ground can hold a 20k + crowd.
The new CEO (and new config of Board) need to regain ambition.

Yep as a local Carlton guy I do love jubilee and wish it could be upgraded to a premium boutique 25k venue but it’s just not gonna happen. So let’s keep jubilee for a heritage round against the titans and move the rest of the Sydney games to Allianz. We’d have better luck pushing for a WIN upgrade to 25k.

The Tigers and Dogs are best to stay at stadium australia and pester for a rebuild. For regular season games until the rebuild they can erect small temporary grandstands (1,000 seats each) at either end up close to the action to improve the views from the ends - which currently are totally unacceptable.

If this Liverpool stadium can’t happen, and if it threatens an upgrade to Accor, then I agree the bulldogs and also tigers should be putting pressure on this upgrade.

Dogs can use belmore for heritage round, tigers can use leichardt for heritage round.

Dogs can play the rest at Accor and tigers can split the rest between Campbelltown and Accor

 

[Jonty]

Could the NRL not fund a stadium in Liverpool?

 

[i0Nic]

Heritage round to maximise crowds for lower drawing games:

Dragons vs titans - kogarah
Dogs vs png - belmore
Tigers vs cowboys - leichardt
Dolphins vs sharks - kayo (move rest to Suncorp)
Bears vs brisbane - Gosford or NSO

Etc

26,512 was announced on channel 9.

Not a great round in the crowd figures area.

No official figure from Bathurst yet (lots of "over 12,000" in various articles.)

Thu	19:50	CBY v DOL	Accor	10412
Fri	20:00	PAR v MAN	Commbank	13425
Sat	17:30	PEN v NEW	Carrington	TBC
Sat	19:35	SYD v CRO	Industree	13399
Sun	16:05	WAR v CAN	Go Media	26512

63,748 plus the ~12k means about 75k for the round.

Approx 1.84m for the aggregate of the year, 19771 per game (93 games).

The corresponding pre-Origin round last year (Round 13) with five games had 68,729, so it's an improvement on that.

Amazing crowd in NZ! They should just keep that temporary seating permanently for the warriors considering the crowds theyre pulling
