Crowd Watch 2011

[dragondad]

I would but I've just gone over my data limit I'm usually good with posting crowd updates.

This is the GA seating option for dogs v saints. Does the GA*B mean they have released for sale the upper decks? Maybe I am reading too much into it...

How is that Knights Membership drive going? are they on track for a crowd near the 30k mark this week?

The Bulldogs v Dragons crowd tonight was 34,322. Which is down on the corresponding game of last year which drew 37,733.

I thought the crowd tonight would have matched last years, if not been a little bigger.

11,336 at Penrith for their game against Brisbane.

 

[canberra_raiders2k2]

Two good crowds.

Bulldogs are probably the only club which racks in crowds similar to the broncos!

Sold over 6000 from the drive giving us total members somewhere around 15000-16000 not sure how many of those are ticketed but would easily be over 10k

 

[Brutus]

My mate was spot on at the ground tonight. He said 34k. My son said 35k. I said 38k.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Thought we would get under 10k for sure with the crap we have dished up at home this year so i am pleased.

The Gus news probably helped.

 

[cleary89]

Panthers would have got 20 if they moved it to sfs....

Dogs would have got 50 if they took it away from a suburban ground... oh wait.

correct me if I'm wrong, but the corresponding game last year was in heritige round which is promoted like crazy. Also, the other Friday game that week was not in Western Sydney too. So the downward shift isn't such a bad thing. Hopefully we can see more 30k plus crowds in Sydney.

 

[Timmah]

30k plus in Sydney is never to be scoffed at but as I said in the "lets get 50k" thread, I think we should've done better. Better scheduling (perhaps Sunday), wider promotion and perhaps making it the only Sydney/NSW game on it's day would help. The NRL and the clubs need to really identify and play up these big blockbusters.

Additionally - NRL/Acer/ANZ Stadium - talk to each other. Having 34k watching BUL/STG and another 15k odd next door watchin Rieu impacted the crowd a bit too IMO. Not for crossover purposes by any means, but the reported traffic congestion and transport difficulties.

I reckon if the NRL got fair dinkum about public transport we might do well. Tonight's NRL match will more than likely have drawn more than tomorrow's Swans game and they get all the frills with trains and buses ffs!

 

[cleary89]

they get it for free too....

 

[Dragon_Taylor6]

Good crowd at ANZ last night. Did anyone there notice the guys be dragged out by the cops.

 

[user_nat]

34k is really disppointing. It's not bad, just everyone was expecting way more.

 

[big country]

Good crowd at ANZ last night. Did anyone there notice the guys be dragged out by the cops.

if i supported either team i'd be expected to be dragged out by the cops also!:lol:

 

[aarondoyle]

they get it for free too....

How the hell can the Government get away with that? It's pandering to the bastards from Victoria.

In Brisbane, it's free public transport to any game at Robina, Lang Park and the Gabba.

Any idea what happened? Most of the crowd stood up and looked over but I couldn't see a thing.

 

[Serc]

Pretty sure the Broncos, Titans etc pay the govt for their patrons to get free public transport...curious about this Swans thing though, are the Swans paying the NSW govt (same as NRL teams in SEQ) or is it the AFL paying, or something else?

 

[aarondoyle]

The Broncos, Titans etc don't pay technically. It's included in the ticket price. None of the teams have a choice.

It's the brilliant public transport to Lang Park which helps the Broncos crowds. It's not perfect, but it's pretty good. A few changes and we'd be there.
