Crowd next Sunday, Bulldogs v Tigers at ANZ

[meltiger]

which is another reason why origin should be played on stand alone weekends, along with rep games for other countries, but that is a different issue altogether!

The Broncos have had to deal with it their entire history mate and have snared 6 premierships in what 21 seasons to date?


1 in 3.5 is not a bad record. SOO only really affects 3 games per year (Wouldn't count the back up games - These guys are pros). If you are good enough to win the title you'll win it from anywhere in the 8

People are interpreting the term 'supporters' differently. Whilst both the Dogs and Tigpies might be attracting larger home crowds, which is fantastic by the way, the Dragons have more season ticket holders than both clubs. So does turning up and supporting your team on match day mean more than contributing financially through membership to your club? The ideal situation would be to have both naturally. Which begs the question if Dogs/Tigpies supporters turn out so well on match day, why don't both clubs have more members?, and similarly if the Dragons have so many members why don't more of them turn out on match day?

To all those Tigpies alluding to the Dragons having so many fair-weather fans, get farked merkins. Also Ladmate you're an A-class moron. Please continue to WOW me with your stupidity on these forums.

Personally i think it's GREAT the Dragons have 10K season tickets holders but PLEASE you cannot compare it to a stand alone club with one stadium and supporter base... It's Wollongong & Kogarah for you guys, as much as you might hate it. Bulldogs have 6500 season ticket holders. an increase of over 50% on last year. IF your season ticket holders (10K) turned up every week at both stadium your crowds would be massive but fact is... Half go Wollongong... Half go Kogarah.

ALSO I cannot wait for the round 10 clash... Bought my tickets 3 weeks ago Should be a sellout at Kogarah with PLENTY of Bulldog supporters.

so what?

the tigers have made the finals ONCE in the last 19 years!! to say saints had a bad home crowd average in 2007 because they had a bad season is a massive cop out. maybe saints are only fair weather fans?

i keep hearing that the dragons have the biggest supporter base. crowd figures continue to show that this is a myth.

if you read the post correctly, you will see that I acknowledged the Tigers have higher drawing crowds over the years then what we have.

Saints won something like 3 or 4 games from their 1st 15 in 2007 and injuries everywhere. Tell me this would not have impacted on their crowds for that year. :crazy:

If we only have fair weather fans, then why do we have the most season ticket holders in Sydney?
Is it perhaps we have the most die hard fan base.

I think you'll find the majority of Dragons fans have the 12 game package, last year at Homebush was different. The Kogarah fans made it clear they would not travel to Homebush, they voted with their feet and did not apply for the membership.

If we don't see 32,000 at ANZ... I'll be shattered.[-(

I half agree with what you said. However being stand alone has it's advantages. I mean I wonder how many Dragons and/or Steelers supporters completely disagreed with the merger and there fore stopped supporting the club. About the Round 10 clash I agree completely. Jubilee will be packed to the rafters. If the actual game is anything like the last game they played there, everyone is in for a treat. I'd like the result to change but hey .

You people sure you're looking at Transaction and not PAX? I can't remember ever having a PAX that hasn't been reasonably accurate...

Twas a joke Tim, the stadium does only hold 83500k , PAX are full of sh*te

 

[Timmah]

As I said, I've never had a PAX that wasn't reasonably accurate.

Ennis has been around a few years as well, found his groove at Brisbane over the past two years and is now in vintage form at the 'Dogs, plus he's a top-notch goalkicker, something NSW lacks without Fitzgibbon.

*cough* Kurt Gidley *cough*

 

[Timmah]

Did you just suggest Gidley and "top-notch goalkicker" belong in a sentence together?

He'd miss fish in a f**king barrel :lol:

i see your opinion on the guy is a low as mine

 

[$$Poor Boy Blues$$]

i have confirmed reports of there having been 41,000 tickets sold already.

this is shaping up as the first 50k sydney crowd ever for reg season

Yes I did, he was on a streak of about 21 or something in a row at the start of the year until some journos started writing about it ...

 

[sando88]

lol.. if u bag gidley as a goalkicker then u can't say ennis is 1st class. hes not even 1st choice at dogs.

campese can also kick goals.. just to add another one in the mix to disapprove ur argument (even though this is the wrong thread to be doing so)

We are constantly told the Dragons have a big fan base and are the most supported but they never prove it. Two home ground which hold around 20k and how often do they sell them out, a week ago they got 14k against the Knights at Kogarah and around that mark for the Titans game in the Gong. The Dogs and Tigers have gotten great numbers over the years and are easily the two best supported, we have had 3 games this year at home with 2 in shocking conditions yet we have got 22k, 19k and 15k, not bad if you ask me and come this Sunday a crowd of at least 28k or so will put us ahead in averages for sydney sides, imagine what it could of been if the rain stayed away.

15K against the Sharks too!

 

[$$Poor Boy Blues$$]

15K against the Sharks too!

well there will be 50k there. you'll be soaring with the broncos, instead of scratching with the turkeys

 

[JK]

Most sold jersey in the country after the Wallabies is what I heard

Tigers beat us a couple times.

I hope this is true but somehow I don't believe it...please let Ennis play though, that would make this clash
