2025 Crowd Watch

[Steel Saints]

W, you are ignoring the fact that Illawarra couldn’t stand alone, they were broke.
They couldn’t even fund a seperate Reserves and U20s team past the first year of the JV and could not contribute their half of the agreed funding arrangement going forward.
Hence after St G financially carrying their burden plus extending them a $6mill loan (at less than market rates) they eventually sold out to WIN.

They were not viable to standalone and unless someone bought them out or paid their bills for them couldn’t survive.

To be fair to the Steelers, they were only in the comp for 17 years. The last four of those years were impacted by Super League, which would've severely dented their bottom line. In relative terms, the Steelers were still a fledgling club. When the 90's hit, they were becoming competitive on the field. By mid 90's, sadly Rupert Murdoch came on the scene.

Sure some clubs progressed faster than others during a duration of 17 years, but it is not enough time to build an asset portfolio and cash reserves.

If the Steelers went to Super League, they may had funding for reserves and under 20's. But the Steelers remained loyal to the ARL much to their own detriment.

Sorry off topic..

I am glad the comp is firing over the last few years with average attendances of around 20k, and maybe push towards 25k one day. Just need to fix the scheduling around origin, and improve a few grounds to help increase attendances.

Probably wouldn't be very effective on a bright, sunny Sunday afternoon.

What about night?

 

[Suitman]

What about night?

Not worth the expense.

Positive I suppose, up from a low bar.

Id be hoping with a move to Allianz this game gets 20k+

 

[t-ba]

Are they meant to be moving to Allianz next season?

Can't come soon enough.

Contracted at A core for another 6 seasons officially

Just at the sprint platform, and there is plenty of Wahs fans as Souths country says. I think this might crack 16 hopefully with Wahs fans loving a walk up. We haven’t played much in Sydney this year let alone at a good time so there is plenty of interest with the Sydney based Wahs fan and dribbler

Got it in one. Great arvo out lots of ways fans today.

I’ll settle for a record crowd between Souths and the Wahs. At Accor.

This crowd between Penrith and Parramatta is pretty decent on TV. Might have snuck 20k here.

$10 Public Holiday tickets are high up in level 6 - at least rows 37 and above. Let’s hope Parra can win this afternoon. Another 60k plus crowd would be insane

It varies of the bay. Selling from Row 1 in 613, then 21 in 612 & 611, 31 in 610 and then 36 in 609 & 608.

Sales already off to an encouraging start in the cheap seats. Nice seeing most of Level 4 on sale and selling strongly.

 

[i0Nic]

I reckon more like 18-19k today at Parra

 

[eels4lifee]

Now this is what you call advertising good on u doggies

 

[eels4lifee]

Parra stadium.def looks over 20k

 

[Vlad59]

Looking at around 110000 for 7 games this round. Not bad considering the SOO hangover.
