Crowd Watch 2011

[CC_Roosters]

I feel sorry for your over in Sydney as it always happens in England in the summer when we want to play Cricket or Touch Rugby.

I only came over from Northern Ireland in July and NI is 10 times worst for weather, may and september are the best months. The summer is usually wet

Is that parra or leeds in the sheds??

Very decent crowd at ANZ...I thought there won't be as much as what they appear to have got. I guess regardless of the form of the Eels the rivalry with the Dogs will always draw a decent crowd.

 

[CC_Roosters]

I think a 40k game in sydney isn't too far away. impossible to judje what size that crowd is

Looks to be alot fuller in the GA sections. I'd say its something to do with the promotion of the $40 family GA tickets with free transport, lots of Royal easter show people taking advantage...

 

[Brutus]

My guess is 31k.

These two teams at the peak of their powers on the run home to the finals would crack 50k.

 

[Panther_Daz]

If these two teams were 4 from 5 tonight it would have hit 40k for sure.

 

[Brutus]

30,687 @ anz

 

[Panther_Daz]

I was thinking 22-23k during the week. Great stuff by both sets of supporters.

30,687 @ anz

very solid crowd

i thought it looked mid 30ks though tbh

nonetheless fantastic imo... we should be aiming for crowds like this in sydney on a daily basis

 

[Panther_Daz]

Gold Coast Crowd?

gold coast crowd?

17,221

While not great, 17K is still more than i was expecting tbh.

If the Titans crowds can stabilize at around the 15-17K mark then i think that's a pass mark.

I’d consider them averaging that as a failure, they ought to be averaging over 20K easy in that stadium. Really need to sort out those ticket prices.

Record Parra home game crowd. What do people think the fan ratio was? There were a hell of a lot of Dogs fans there.

 

[The Tank]

Not sure but both sets of supporters turned up - great to seas of blue/yellow and blue/white. Well done to both clubs!

Gold coast not bad. Hard to gauge . If the sh*ttiest team in Australia pro sports the suns gets more than that at metrocon more than once this year.

It will tell us a few things about the gold coast

Dogs probably dominated that crowd 55-45%, the Eels dominated the main two concourses east and west, but the entire ends of the ground north and south, plus level 4, was just so thick with 'Dogs fans. Fantastic atmosphere too with the relatively even breakdown of support.

Superb crowd for the circumstances (both out of form sides), I think 25-30k should be absolutely minimum between these two sides.

 

[CowboyFuriousFury]

Great crowd for Eels vs Bulldogs considering both came off a loss when do they play next hopefully one or both get on a winning roll because it has 40k for sure next time if they hit form later the season in particular the Eels.

For Cowboys hoping a good crowd coming off a home win and good form plus it's a Saturday the weather is fine back to back wins would be nice.

Record Parra home game crowd.

I think last year's game was just fractionally larger and was an Eels home game. There are also some "home" games at the SCG back in the 60's & 70's that were larger.

If you exclude the Stadium Australia double header back in 99, this would be the Eels 2nd largest crowd there and bigger than any game at Parramatta Stadium.

Eels/Bulldogs/Rabbitohs/Dragons/Tigers should all join forces to get a joint stadium with proper rectangular sightlines for the larger matches that's Lang Park size but with a retractable roof. Probably one of the best I've see is Toyota Stadium in Japan.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Great stadium. Looks like a penrith crowd but
