Crowd Watch 2011

[CC_Roosters]

Gold Coast will get more fans if Searle cuts the prices to a reasonable level.

The cowboys have for a long period had some of the most loyal fans in the game. Their team has been absolutely shambolic for a while, if I was a cowboy fan I'd stay away in protest as well. Once the players put back some pride in the jersey the cowboy fans will return.

The thing with trends is that they are just that, they can change very quickly.

Isn't that a decision by the stadium management rather than the club? But if the club have done the pricing structure then i simply cannot comprehend the logic behind it.

How come the AFL can get Carrara upgraded using taxpayers money yet the ticketing is so much cheaper

They beat Brisbane in Brisbane in round 1.

They play at home this week, let's see if the fans react the way you are predicting or not.

I can go to the best stadium in the world (Suncorp) and watch a double header (Broncos v Manly / Bulldogs v Titans) sit on halfway 20 rows back (so I can see above the players for the wider plays) for $40.

Or I could go to a regular Titans game at half way for $57....

Possibly, I am not sure who has control over ticket prices. Gold Coast crowds are a worry particularly as they have had success in their short lifespan.

$57 is criminal.

 

[adamkungl]

I paid $60 to go to the Grand Final...I wouldn't pay more than $30 to see a f**king Titans game.

 

[CC_Roosters]

$57 is criminal.

Maybe the members should complain on other fans behalf, its pretty obvious it is hurting the crowds

and how do you propose the fans get here seeing as it's likely the roads are going to be cut this week again......................

Mate, the bloke you're talking to has got no idea.

Cowboys fans will come out and support their team like they always have. One of the great moments of the last decade in rugby league was the reception that Townsville and surrounds gave to their footy team in Grand final week 2005. The scenes at the airport that I saw on TV will be something I'll never forget.

Where online can I see the published attendances for NRL games?

 

[dogz08]

Rabbits, Dogs will get over 30k

 

[Timmah]

Goldfields Titans

This thread is pretty much it.

http://nrl.has.it is usually good at keeping track as well.

I was being a smartarse, i'm aware of the situation up in North Queensland atm thanks mostly because your post on the topic. Thanks for that.

Don't take everything so seriously mate.

 

[Desert Qlder]

Love to see Canterbury v Souths upwards of 35000.

Only if it doesn't rain

 

[Desert Qlder]

It was just a bit of cloud talk really, I'm sure these two clubs will pull a great crowd regardless.

Then again, the first round was a tremendous surprise for me and it seems anything can happen really. None of us should be surprised if we were to end up with 35000 considering the strides our game is taking.

Titans v Dragons was almost the same as it was last year. It was a fine crowd.

Storm v Sea Eagles was fine too - it was almost the same total for last years match between these two

I find it strange how you can talk down the Storm crowd, but talk up the Raiders 13k as C. Admitedly it was against the worst team in the comp, and several players were missing, I think in those circumstances its a reasonable crowd for Canberra.

The Panthers are not a big club for attendences. I am happy if they can average greater than 12k this year. You ain't exactly going to get a lot of travelling Knights fans to this one. Especially when they are probably hanging out for a home game in their refurbished stadium

EDIT - just on Storm vs Sea Eagles, what do you recon the same game would draw at that Sh!thole Brookvale?

I think the Gold Coast crowd was a disappointment. Half a million people on the Gold Coast and a 27000 seats at Skilled. Should have been a sell out. The home team v the Premiers..... drop your ticket prices Michael Searle.

Looking pretty good on that front at the moment (for ANZ that is)

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Parramatta have been holding back a lot of tickets in the past week or so for the Panthers clash for last min new members that sign up which means a lot of people have been told there aren't many tickets available(and they give up trying after being told this)


Don't be surprised to see Parramatta stadium half full on friday night
