Crowd Watch 2011

I'm not sure if this is feasable but is it possible for Souths to play teams like Cronulla, Penrith at Redfern instead of ANZ? ANZ probably wouldn't allow it I guess.

Redfern isn't up to NRL standard.

Redfern isn't up to NRL standard.

Nor are souffs. Perfect fit.

Given the amount of advertising done for the swans game, i am surprised it didn't get more, every other radio advert was get lifted by the swans.... plus it was on FTA and pay tv repeatedly for a week. They must have a massive marketing budget or is it all provided by AFL HQ. All 3 swans crowds are under their average from last year, rain or not they are still down.

I look forward to the day when the NRL and clubs have a decent marketing budget, it is the one thing that can really influence crowds for the better.

Broncos vs Storm is a big grudge match on the field, hardly inspiring crowd wise though ... dunno what planet you live in on Raiderdave ... will be lucky to get 30k again next week

and being on a Saturday night, which is our least preferred timeslot bar Monday night ... no chance of a big crowd

Oink !

Has the NRL ever bothered to make it a priority to lift crowd numbers? Individual clubs should be doing more in terms of promotion, but a bit of help from HQ would not go astray.

Is the current membership drive by all clubs an effort to do this?

Poor crowd at Skilled.

 

[CC_Roosters]

15,177 at Skilled. Honestly i thought it looked 13k.

Cowboys looks decent, they can't misreport this one surely

 

[Panther_Daz]

Cowboys appears to be around the 17-18k mark.

So what you are saying is that the AFL "gets smashed" by another code in ratings yet bizarrely the media have a "love affair" with this failing sport and hand out "free publicity" whereas a rating winner like NRL is ignored by a business that lives and dies on ratings?

Haha, you think the ABC 'live and die' on ratings, and that 7 and 10 don't give free publicity to the sport they own. Haha, you're geniused.

 

[CC_Roosters]

9460 at Melbourne. Very surprised, thought their form would have guaranteed 11-12k minimum

 

[Timmah]

9,460 at AAMI

Last start loss wouldn't have helped.

This i don't get. A single loss in this comp and it seems to turn people away, even a single injury seems to discourage. Supporters need to man up and get to the games, when your team is up against it is when they need the fans there!

It's part of the contra from the last deal, free ads for the Swans on Ten and Seven.

9460 at Melbourne.

Terrible. I genuinely thought the Storm would average 20,000+ once they moved to a decent stadium. We can thank Gallop that they haven't...

 

[DC_fan]

Gold Coast 15,177
Melbourne 9,460
Nth Qld 14,884

hahaha that NQ crowd is definitly not right, far bigger than the previous largest against the (titans?). Can add 3k ish to that one.
