Crowd Watch 2012 Mk II

[Raiders_Premiers]

There's what, 5 million people in Sydney? It's supposed to be a final at a neutral venue.

The mentality of "it's not my team I'm not going" is what holds back the crowds and before anyone says its on a Friday night the majority of people wanted $1bn regardless of consequences

I've seen you write this or something similar to this a few times over the past couple of days.

Are you at the game?

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

My team is not playing.

It's Friday night.

Too cold.

Cbf crossing the bridge.

Just 3k more than last year.

For shame Manly. For shame.

 

[Haffa]

Not as bad, but close. Brooky/Liech are the worst.


No, Manly fans need a kick up the ass for not going to the game.

I agree, they deserve a kick up the arse. I just find it ludicrous that the NRL forces these games to the SFS. What happens if it's Penrith vs Cowboys instead? Crowd would be just as shit.

What would the minimum pass mark for Week 2 be?

Rabbitohs v Raiders -
<30k = shit
30k to 35k = pass
>35k = good

Sea Eagles v Cowboys -
<20k = shit
20k to 25k = pass
>25k = good

Manly fans don't deserve to have such a good team.

 

[Saint Doc]

A few thousand SFS members
1000 neutrals

Manly just drew 10-12,000 to a sudden death final.

Disgrace

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

f**king terrible crowd.

 

[pcpp]

132 less than Melbourne v North QLD at the same venue in 2005.

FFS a Club that produces a pathetic crowd like this gets all the crap Referee decisions? WHat the hell is going on?

 

[BunniesMan]

If Parra or Souths or Wests or Canterbury or St George or even Cronulla had a team as good as this (they've made the finals something like 8 years in a row, NOONE else has more than THREE years in a row atm) they would be getting massive crowds.

It seems only Easts and Manly can't get great crowds even with sustained success.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Shit crowd. Shit refereeing. Shit video ref

 

[elbusto]

Shit crowd. Shit refereeing. Shit video ref

Shit. Shit. Shit.

 

[docbrown]

Well at least the Manly fan traveling down to Melbourne will be happy.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Should of hired a DVD

Pretty shit night to be honest just doesn't feel like a big time finals match when its not packed out. There are certainly problems needing addressed by HQ as even the SFS members looked way emptier than usual. Perhaps the lack of neutrals is down to people not wanting to pay to watch a team they hate.

How can manly fans possibly want a brookie fixture in week 2 of the finals! so so insular

Apologies to all Roosters fans for ever complaining about your crowds bro. Manly supporters are shit. 16000 for that game FFS!

 

[Billythekid]

No other team in the comp could draw a crowd that bad in a finals match. Appaling effort. Possibly the worst crowd i've seen since i've been following NRL crowds.

 

[Raider Azz]

Shit club no fans.

Kick them out of the competition.

 

[Azyboy]

While Manly are serial offenders, why isn't there the flexibility to consider moving such a game to an alternative venue or a Saturday afternoon even? I understand TV ratings are important but at what cost? Would such a game have drawn better on a Saturday or does the blame solely lie with Manly?
