Crowd Watch 2012 Mk II

[Kurt Angle]

Norffs fans should STFU, Cronulla is keeping you guys out of the comp, not Manly.

The biggest mistake was admitting Cronulla in 1967, if not for that blight, they'd all be saints fans, they wouldn't know any better. Now we're stuck with the petulant pricks treatening to spit the dummy if their trumped up NSW cup team gets replaced with a club that could have a turnover of $20+ per year.

But no, all finances for all other 15 teams are capped too low so the guppies can be within spitting distance of the rest.

Piss the sharks off, let in the central coast

 

[BunniesMan]

How has this thread descended into petulant trolling. Can we get back to crowds please?

 

[Timbo]

The way the Souths fans are going on, this being their first home final in a generation I think they might get 45,000+ this week.

We're a bandwagon club too. A lot of people will make the drive up for this one.

According to this link, it is confirmed that the Storm will play their preliminary final on Friday night and the Bulldogs on Saturday night:

Furthermore, the Storm final will be at AAMI Park, regardless of whether it is against Manly or Cowboys. Seems like the NRL is conservative and don't want to risk playing the game at the larger Etihad Stadium. Good decision however by the NRL to put the Bulldogs game on Saturday night, which will maximise the crowd (especially if Souffs beat Canberra) and force the Sydney Swans to play in the least preferred Friday night timeslot. The Swans would've died to have played on the Sat night vs Collingwood, but if West Coast win they would've had to play on Saturday afternoon due to the rule regarding Preliminary Finals matches involving inter-state sides.

Please Canberra fans. Come up

It's only 3 hours to ANZ from Belconnen

Never fear mate there'll be plenty of us there.

 

[Marshall_magic]

surely 30k Souths fans + 10k Canberra fans will show up, getting it around 40k.

On Friday they should get 20k Manly fans + 2-3k Cowboys fans, getting it to around 23k

If the Cowboys game gets more than 17K, they have done well. 23K is unlikely

Every club is a bandwagon club mate. I sometimes wish the word would be banned.

Put a big Sydney club in a home final and the thousands will come out of the woodwork.

I went to parra v manly week one about 5 years ago and parra stad wasn't even sold out

It was like 19200 or something

36000 is a great nrl semi crowd

Not than many years ago grand finals got crowds in the high 30s

high 30's not many years ago ?:sarcasm:

there hasn't been a crowd for an RL GF that hasn't got to over 40,000 since the 1930's :shock:
I'd hate to see your a long time ago :lol:

36K was poor ... lets not start polishing turds shall we ....:roll:

 

[Frailty]

It just looks so good.

They need more day games I think.

Not sure if serious....

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Watch the penrtith v Canberra grand finals

There are definitely empty seats behind the goal posts.

And not just a handful

There are hundreds. And they weren't all at the bar

 

[Raiderdave]

Never fear mate there'll be plenty of us there.

yeah .... you don't need to worry about us

its that mob in maroon & white that need coaxing for this weekend ... & not to travel 300k's ... just 15 :shock:

 

[Raiderdave]

Watch the penrtith v Canberra grand finals

There are definitely empty seats behind the goal posts.

And not just a handful

There are hundreds. And they weren't all at the bar

:lol::lol:

there are empty " seats" singular .... throughout every venue at every event

its called the bar
or the toilet

:lol::lol:

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Canberra fans should all turn up at the country link platform in the act on Saturday and say here's my fricken ticket.

It's free transport to the game ain't it

 

[Cumberland Throw]

:lol::lol:

there are empty " seats" singular .... at every venue

its called the bar
or the toilet

:lol::lol:

Watch a reply. Unless there was a diarrhea epidemic it was not sold out

 

[Walt Flanigan]

The attendances for the 90 & 91 Grand Finals were 41K plus change. The SFS Capacity was 42K back then.

......and I've seen the 1990 Grand Final more than a couple of times.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

So therefore there most of been hundreds of empty seats

 

[Raiderdave]

Rabbitohs v Raiders - 27,000
Sea Eagles v Cowboys - 16,000

As for week 3, hoping Souths win next week for a massive crowd.

Bulldogs v Souths/Raiders - Souths: 83,000, Raiders: 45,000
Storm v Sea Eagles/Cowboys - Sea Eagles: 28,000, Cowboys: 26,000

If Souths can't bring 27,000 of their own people .. before a Raiders fan is even counted
then their fans should hang their heads in shame

should nearly beat the all Sydney crowd from last Friday

 

[Raiderdave]

Watch a reply. Unless there was a diarrhea epidemic it was not sold out

so ... a few hundred empty seats
& attendances of near 42,000

is that .. high 30's is it :sarcasm:

:lol::lol::lol:
FMD

 

[Raiderdave]

Watch a reply. Unless there was a diarrhea epidemic it was not sold out

I'd rather watch a replay :sarcasm:

again

no NSWRL/ARL/ NRL Grand Final has been under 40,000 in over 80 years ;-)
