2025 Crowd Watch

[jim_57]

Storm’s crowd the weekend after the MCG Origin last year was their lowest of the year by some way. Might be a trend to avoid if they don’t sell out HBF Park.

Its a tough ask to ask fans to pay for Origin then a couple days later pay to go to the NRL, especially with the prices the Dolphins are asking. Spread the games out.

Jesus there's gonna be some nauseating excuses as this new Perth club drags down the NRL crowd average.

I don't think anyone is expecting them to sell out HBF Park every week at the start, but Perth is a city of over two million people so there is plenty of potential there.

Putting the Dolphins game on same week as Origin seems to have back fired big time in Perth.
Not helped by the ridiculous ticket prices ($74 for behind the sticks wtf?), last years game that sold out is looking like around 12k sold so far.
They've just slashed some seat prices today so hopefully more sell during the week. Id be pssed if I paid $89 for a seat that is now $27!

Oh no! How will you all cope with a game every fortnight? Welcome to the reality of having a club in the NRL

Roosters Celebrate Emergency Services with BYD Sealion 6 Giveaway and $5 Junior Tickets

The Sydney Roosters are proud to announce details of the Club’s second annual Emergency Services Match, which will take place during Round 16 of the NRL Premiership against the North Queensland Cowboys at Allianz Stadium on Sunday, June 22.

www.roosters.com.au

Details of emergency services round including ticket deals and meet and greets with service personnel. I thought it was the health services as the spotlight agency this year but it's the RFS

Weather looks the goods too. If we crack 30k that would be great.

Based on the glacial pace of sales for allocated seating, I think this will do well to hit 20k (for context the Roosters vs NQ on a Sunday arvo at Allianz in 2024 drew a bit over 13k).

 

[yobbo84]

I'll be astounded if there's 8k at the Rabbitohs vs Storm match.

I really hope the Allianz move becomes reality for you guys next year or it’ll be a shocking 5 years. Catch-22 for the club, they have basically shit on their current home ground which certainly won’t be encouraging fans to get out to games, if it comes off though short term pain for long term gain.

 

[jim_57]

Hit & miss round coming up.

Parra and Souths could both be shockers.

Roosters & Perth sales look disappointing so far.

Warriors are sold out, Broncos should go close.

I guess if perth bears are stupid enough to charge $94 for sideline and $73 for behind the sticks like the dolphins hvave done the stadium will be half empty as well lol.

would you like to make a bet that Perth don’t end up with lowest avg in 2027.

If you are worried about pricing then buy a membership.

Why would I want to bet on Perth Bears attendances? Wierd thing to say.

Similar to the way I feel when I read you repeatedly posting this take.

Solly stuffed it up big time

Solly stuffed it up big time

He stuffed it up but the fact they cant have 4 full time teams at Allianz is a bit of a joke. Suncorp manages the Broncos, Dolphins, Roar, and Reds perfectly fine.

This is about solly trying to shift the blame to the nsw govt for not doing stadium upgrades when he signed a new lease at a reduced rent because there were going to be no upgrades

Rather than telling the public the truth, and now the nsw govt has told him (rightly) to shove it

And that’s after the pm got involved

I wanna see souths back home but solly has handled this totally wrong

Have you seen the surface at the sfs? It can't even handle one team.

[yakstorm]

It's unfortunately not surprising. For VenuesNSW, losing one of two key tenants at Accor is greater than adding a fourth at Allianz, so unless Souths put forward a compelling offering (which they didn't, they played hardball) or someone like Minns intervened, VenuesNSW was always going to be reluctant to grant the move.

It's a shame because it hurts Souths and it hurts the NRL.

I wonder if that will ever get fixed.
