Crowd Watch 2011 Mk II

[cleary89]

Dunno what to make of this crowd, the rain (and ground) looks bad.

 

[CC_Roosters]

looks about 8k in perth

Are we actually cursed. Dry as a bone in Perth all year from what i hear, then the NRL rocks up and it pisses down.

Vossy said it was sold out and no umbrellas allowed in the ground.

 

[Brutus]

From what I've heard the weather has been the worst in Perth for years this afternoon. Just have a look at the waterlogged surface. I have not seen a top-line RL game played on that much water since the early 90's.

Someone could drown tonight!

FFS. Such a great chance to showcase a big crowd in Perth and it's killed by shocking weather. F*cking pissing down. In Perth. F*ck.

Still, the crowd looks not too bad actually, better than most Perth Glory games by a lot.

Least it's live. Shows the value of a wa team to tv

It's not live.

Game started at 9pm and there was a 4 minute break after the second try.

Nine had the opportunity to show it live, would of got huge ratings and they would still rather delay it... disgraceful.

.

if that ground is the best perth has got to offer then they have no chance of entry into the nrl. do they still live in the 70s?

Exactly, it's a shame of the terrible weather in Perth tonight as there would have been 20k IMO there at NIB. I swear sometimes our game is f**king cursed.

So it started at 7pm wst ?

15,371 at Seaworld.

(Perth)

 

[nko11]

Over 15K at Perth! (As reported by Triple M) FANTASTIC! Considering the conditions!

 

[pcpp]

Great crowd Perth - biggest crowd since Souths started playing there, amazing considering the conditions. I think this will be a huge boost to WA's expansion bid.

Apparently it was a sell out too and there's a capacity of 25,000 so close 10,000 more tickets would of been sold.

To compare (Souths v Storm):

2010: 13,164
2009: 15,197

So it started at 7pm wst ?

Yep.

 

[beave]

7pm is a shitty time to start though........ just saying.

I'm pretty sure the eastern and western stands are going to be rebuilt over the next 2 years. I think i heard capacity will be around 27K when the Reds enter the competition.

 

[Chook Norris]

wow there was more this time round at perth than in 2009? I remember listening on radio and they said they couldnt believe there were several thousand seats left in the official figures for the 2009 game

 

[CowboyFuriousFury]

15k is great considering the horrid conditions if anything in better weather conditions it would of sold out.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

So 10000 paid 30 bucks each and didn't even click the turnstile.


Methinks not.

All reports said about 17k was expected about 1500 said f**k this it's too wet

Vossy thinks one bloke in a ute is a sell out

 

[cleary89]

Apparently capacity is 22k.

Quite understandable not that many turned up. Think about how souths have 13k members, but only got 8k on a friday night against another sydney team in the wet.
