Crowd Watch 2011 Mk II

[Goddo]

^ to be fair, Queensland is in an ecconomic slump at the moment due to floods and cyclones. I read somewhere the other day that there has been a big drop in property prices in Queensland as a direct result. Every team in Queensland across all sports has seen a downturn, except the Reds who give away plenty of freebies.

I accept it, perhaps it's time for Old St George fans to accept this. If it represents both area by definition it is not purely a Sydney team as the original post makes it out to be.l

:lol:

You dopey Karmichael. I was hinting that Brisbane might need a second side.

If St George can draw 16k to a Broncos game, and several other clubs also have similar levels of support, why not have a second team there?

Even if a second Brisbane side only drew a fan base of 10k, it would still average around 15-20k just on the back of away support alone.

Brisbane Roar had a downturn?

Sorry, Queensland's downturn is nothing in comparison to what happens in other states. Their tourism industry, "despite the downturn", is still Australia's most profitable by a LONG way.

I knew what you were hinting at and i responded with it subtle post. Obviously went over your head taking into account this response.

All I can say is what a waste of a 50k crowd at Suncorp tonight.

Why would the NRL play this game just two days after Origin?

I have no doubt this game played on a Sunday in the run home to the finals would be the biggest H & A crowd of the year. Sell-out for sure.

No wonder our crowds stagnant.

 

[DC_fan]

Going on by what can be seen on TV no more then 35,000 at Suncorp.

Do we have any blockbusters left for the 'Glory Bound Rounds'?

Do we have any blockbusters left for the 'Glory Bound Rounds'?

Not sure which particular rounds are the 'Glory Bound Rounds' this year, but Round 21 has Manly v Tigers at Gosford and not much else, Round 22 is Broncos v Warriors (Suncorp) and Tigers v Dragons (SCG), Round 23 has Cowboys v Broncos in Townsville and Warriors v Knights in NZ, Round 24 is Knights v Brisbane in Newy and Manly v Dogs at Brooky, and Round 25 has a few possibly good ones - Dogs v Knights at ANZ, Dragons v Warriors at Wollongong, and Manly v Storm at Brooky

Of course all that depends on your definition of 'blockbuster', and is heavily dependent on certain teams' form

Broncos v Manly in R26 will be the biggest this year IMO.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Any news from ANZ no one there to check the crowd hey

 

[Timmah]

Seen a couple of pics on Twitter, they'll be lying if they post more than 10k.

 

[BunniesMan]

Don't expect a big crowd. We're not in the 8, we're playing against a small non NSW team, any team would struggle to get a crowd here.

 

[user_nat]

34,185. Crap..

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Bunnies should be playing this game at Bluetongue

 

[dogz08]

looks like 6k at anz

 

[smithie]

I wish Souths would go back to the SFS. It would make their crowds look a little better. There really should be two NRL clubs utilising the SFS full time.

Broncos v Dragons crowds at Suncorp

2010 R.21 42,269
2009 R.4 42,435
2008 R.23 33,327

 

[Saint Doc]

LOL. gee all the people who bitch about suburban grounds and how ANZ SFS is the answer to all our crowd problems need to tune into Ch9 right now!

 

[user_nat]

Those are some beautiful chairs at ANZ.

 

[DC_fan]

8,021 at ANZ. The forth lowest crowd of the season

 

[Red Bear]

Titans must've felt they were playing at home with that many plastic seats around. Pisspoor crowd (although expected, unfortunately).
