Crowd Watch 2012 Mk II

[Timmah]

Ummm, you do know those two teams come from South Sydney and Canterbury Bankstown right and not Olympic Park :roll:

Obviously... seemed pretty f**king clear to me I was referring to the suburb in which the home ground is...

God Melbourne and manly are dissapointing

2 great teams and can't get an increase

Manly really should work on 1 marque game a year at ANZ, to try and boost their average

Manly seem to have a few fans in the ryde area I have found

Logic says Manly v Dogs should be moved from brookie every year and make it a massive game

They should work on trying to get 40k to this game every year to boost averages

 

[Brutus]

They are talking 30k for the all Sydney AFL derpy on Saturday.

Seriously, there shouldn't be anymore than 15k to that lopsided shite, even with free tickets being thrown around everywhere you look.

All the while you were arguing about Newcastle vs Townsville.

Derp!

Swans are averaging around 23k for most games at the SCG, so I imagine with the 5000-7000 that GWS normally attracts, they may be pushing the 30k...

But that will be a stark drop from the 38k from the first Sydney derby.

Melbourne's average might be down but this is mostly due to the terrible weather we had for the Broncos match. A game that had 23k in 2011 only had 13k this year. Decent weather and a crowd of 20k at that match would see the Storm averaging 15k for the season.

Lowest crowds this year are all above 11k, at the same time last year the team had had four crowds under 10k. Our 'small' crowds this year are 1500 higher than last year's equivalent. So although the average is down slightly there are more regulars coming along to every game, which is a good sign.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

We can bag afl all day but we would all be creaming our jeans over a potential 35 k + @ ANZ

it won't be 30K let alone 35K +

& half of these will be freebies & stadium members
like most things AFL..... its all smoke & mirrors

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Brisbane crowd will be rubbish.

Pax as of 5 minutes ago: 24,223.

 

[Saint Doc]

Back to the crowd/population thing, I don't think the fact that the cowboys previously overachieved should count against them. They do very well all things considered. Newcastle have done well, but if you built the cowboys an amazing new stadium, bought them the most successful coach of all time, bought pretty much whoever they wanted in the offseason, and offered cheap as chips memberships, I think you'd see a spike in their crowds too.

But some forum members are obviously on the autism spectrum and can't draw these kind of connections and see things only in a way that suits their view of the world.

Back on topic would be great to crack 30 tonight, 15 for the weekend and 10 for Monday night

 

[user_nat]

Won't get near 30k tonight.

27k is the highest Sharks crowd ever at Suncorp (2010). Only got 24k last year without being Origin effected.

Awesome idea to make fun of people with learning disabilities.

My discussion was trading purely on the here and now - Newcastle have better crowds than North Queensland. It's not an argument, it's a fact.

The Cowboys have some work to do - let's hope they do get assistance in the way of a stadium upgrade etc.

Piss poor

Good work Knights, without doubt the best pound for pound sport supporters in Australia, any code

I tip my hat to Newie supporters also, but I think Townsville residents would have a shot at that title. Considering Newcastle is about four times bigger the crowds up North hold up very well.

Given the drastic drop in NQ home crowds in the last five years, you couldn't be more off the mark.

No, that was not the discussion. The discussion was on who were "pound for pound" the best supporters. Otherwise we wouldn't be having this conversation as its a "fact" that Brisbane are the best supported team. So clearly we were comparing crowds to population, ie. pound for pound". But you won't acknowledge that because you live in Timmah world where you're never wrong

 

[Timmah]

When do we stop counting each area's population and support base though?

Both have expansive areas to draw from so population comparison is near on impossible.

 

[Saint Doc]

Pound for pound could f**king mean anything...

Such as?

 

[Timmah]

Wtf? :\

Haha edited your post I see. Lucky you have fancy mod powers to edit with the time stamp. Unlucky I already quoted you.

Anyway I guess your edited post now passively admits that it was a population based question. Which is the best ill we'll get out of you

 

[Timmah]

Still NFI what you're talking about - what you've quote was not written by me. I'm not even a mod in this section :?

As for the population based question - I stated the same thing earlier in this thread! How can you compare "pound for pound support" for two areas with indeterminate boundaries?
