Crowd Watch 2011

[Timmah]

Would be lovely.

I'll probably post this a lot throughout the year - Crowd Watch Stats can be found in this thread.

 

[dogz08]

can we get 10k tonight?

 

[Red Bear]

This is the wettest I remember Wollongong being since the 98 floods, dont expect many to travel from here for this game.

Not sure what its like in the Shire but a low crowd should be expected

 

[CC_Roosters]

we had a guy at school who never came in when it rained

by final year in university i didn't go in if it was raining. One of a long list of excuses.....

Whats that look like at shark park? first time i have seen the shire v dragons tbh. i'm guessing 9k

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Cronullas biggest game of year gets 8k. Bahahahaha

 

[WaznTheGreat]

12,183

 

[Billythekid]

Good crowd considering the disgusting weather/parking.

Honestly didn't stop raining from the time I left work till about 10mins after half time, then it pissed down for the last 10 mins and all the way home. I am in the shire and it's bloody dry now, doesn't look like rain lol.

Tonight is the worst rain I have stood in at a Footy match ever, and that includes that night at Kogarah V Parra when it was a field goal-a-thon. Terrible conditions and I am surprised so many turned up when it was at it's hardest just before most people would have been about to get out the car.

The field was in good condition but I think once the carpark needs to be closed due to flooding, they need to reconsider keeping the match on. If more people turned up (obviously wasn't going to happen when the rain didn't ease) it would have been gridlocked for hours.

bzzzt. wrong.

 

[DIOGENES]

After 2 rounds:
2010: 286388 Ave: 17899
2011: 314415 Ave: 19651
8.2% increase
Fearless prediction: the average crowds for H&A for 2010 season were 8% less than the crowds after 2 rounds. Therefore the average crowd for this year will be a record: 18078.

 

[Marshall_magic]

Round 1 was a record round
Round 2 saw some horrible weather, yet no sub 10k crowds (including a Monday game in Cronulla in the rain, would've been around 8k in seasons past).

Hopefully we can continue these good crowds throughout the whole season. What's the longest a season has gone before getting a sub 10k crowd?

I'm not sure. But if we get one this year who will be the first team? I'm thinking Penrith, Melbourne or Cronulla. But I'll get off the fence and say Cronulla.

I was thinking Panthers/Sharks this Saturday but surely with them both being last start winners that won't happen.

Round 3 predictions with "wet" predictions if rain strikes prior to the game

Eels/Rabbitohs @ ANZ = 16,000 (11,000 wet)
Titans/Broncos @ Skilled = 22,000 (18,000 wet)
Panthers/Sharks @ Centrebet = 15,000 (10,000 wet)
Tigers/Raiders @ Campbelltown = 16,500 (12,000 wet)
Warriors/Dragons @ Mt Smart = 13,000 (10,000 wet)
Bulldogs/Roosters @ ANZ = 22,000 (16,000 wet)
Sea Eagles/Knights @ Brookvale = 17,500 (13,000 wet)
Cowboys/Storm @ DFS = 12,000 (11,000 wet)

Reasoning? Eels/Rabbits in poor form. Titans/Broncos both last start losers, Panthers/Sharks last start winners. Tigers closest team to Raiders. Warriors in dreadful form, Dragons last start losers. Bulldogs on the winners list, Roosters fans still optimistic. Manly/Knights = Brett's back at Brookie, Manly won and Newcastle are on fire. Cowboys... 6pm kickoff on a Monday night will dent the crowd severely, especially given both sides' form.

Will be an interesting weekend of attendances, hopefully I'm being conservative and we get bigger figures.

Huh? :sarcasm:

 

[ByRd]

Hopefully its a sunny sunday arvo out at ANZ this week, with us coming off back to back wins, our fans will turn out in force and Roosters fans should bring a few across as well, im hoping we can crack 25k.

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

Hasn't stopped raining down here in the gong for days outside a few minute breaks occasionally. And the rain has been some of the hardest I've seen down here since I moved nearly 6 years ago.

Well done to all the fans that went to the games.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

was a good crowd considering conditions.

i got there a bit later than kickoff thanks to some fool rolling his truck in the M% tunnel and the ensuing traffic diversion on king george's road.

carpar was flooded as.

ive been there in worse crowds on much better nights. good atmosphere at the game. up the sharkies!

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

Well done mate and well done the sharkies.
