2025 Crowd Watch

[Cumberland Throw]

So they sold out the game against the same opponent a few weeks ago but this game (which is much more important) will struggle to get 20k?

Melbourne is a weird place.

Happens with a lot of teams .. as soon as the nrl takes over the fixture and season ticket holders are all made to actually login and pay for tickets you just get like 3000 people who can't be arsed

Could be one of the biggest week 2’s ever if the broncos lose.

Biggest in the NRL era is just under 80k. That gets blown away if Dogs & Broncos are hosting. Could even give it a nudge if it's Dogs & Raiders.

Aside: Looking back at pre-NRL crowds when we used to play all 6 finals at the SFS, there are some impressive sets of numbers. eg 1994: 34k, 35k, 36k ,42k, 42k, 42k.

Great turn out, but Warriors were an absolute turn off as usual

 

[Speedy Gonzales]

Doggies v Penrith will be minimum 60k imo

Doggies v Penrith will be minimum 60k imo

60k+ would've been on the cards had the Warriors won. Warriors fans would've definitely turned up in large numbers.

Don't mean to disappoint people with high expectations, but Bulldogs vs Panthers will be lucky to crack 45k (which is approx. equivalent to the entire lower bowl at Accor Stadium). Anything more than 45k - especially for a week 2 final - would be a bonus, as Penrith isn't one of the larger-drawing Sydney teams.

Another factor is when will the match be held. A sunny Sunday arvo gets a bigger crowd than Saturday night.

Lol there's a whole empty bank behind the posts at shark park ..

Why are there so many empty seats at the Northern end of a "sold out" Shark Park?

Agreed... Dogs are in a hole and with players out some of the bandwagon might get off early!
We will be lucky if Penrith bring 10K supporters.

Such a shame the Warriors out wish more teams up the ante then the usual suspects just hope the Raiders win.

The good thing about next week, is that the sharks won't be playing at home

 

[drcmuch]

C'mon Sharkies, announce the crowd. Delaying it won't make it look any bigger.

Apparently there were some reports of bad weather in Florida so that's why a few decided to stay home.

 

[Brutus]

Shameful

Dogs Penrith should get at least 60k

Dogs prelim would’ve sold out shame

Shameful

Sharks could probably pull big crowds to protests against relocation.

Providing they were held in The Shire and it didn't rain.
