Really hope the Cowboys numbers pickup later in the year.

They deserve more this year.

Sorry to troll but the crowds this year are quite depressing.
Is PAYTV killing the crowds ???

dude didnt you see the icon?

I'm quite disappointed with the NQ crowd. They're having a good year and it's their favourite timeslot.

I did but as a Rugby League fan I have a right to comment and it's not all hunky dory sadly for League.

Yawn. The crowds are, unsurprisingly, pretty much the same as last year.

At least memberships have increased hugely on last year. Might not be having an effect in the short term but if they keep increasing it's sure to have an effect in the medium to long term.

And the Waratahs are not doing much better as are over half of the S15 clubs.
Apart from membership's is the cost of going to see a game too much i.e ticket's,food,drink.

I often wonder if any of the NRL/News LTD lot read this forum.

Swans got 20K in Sydney hahaha + 50K watching live on 7/10/fox = 70K total that care out of 5m in Sydney!! Hahaha

 

[aarondoyle]

Hmm I too thought that they had no choice, BUT it also meant each club had to front up a nominated fee for each game to help cover those public transport costs. Surely the government doesn't pay for it?

It's a set amount per ticket, not up front.

That has to be depressing news for the AFL cheer squad.

Expected more Dragons fans at ANZ TBH but I guess the scheduling shoulders a lot of the blame there with the Dragons playing the Dogs twice in six weeks.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Was expecting a few more at Newcastle. Sensational weather, Sunday afternoon footy, cheap tickets and a big membership push over the past 2 weeks.

 

[Brutus]

Places where a big crowd was pretty much always guaranteed (Townsville and Newcastle) have really slackened off.

The Knights were getting bigger crowds the year they won the spoon.

People seem to have got out of the habit of attending the footy in those stronghold areas.

 

[Brutus]

18,100 in Newcastle. Not sure on the exact number.

Not bad.

 

[Didgi]

18,158 I beleive it was

18k+ at newcastle - not bad..
