Crowd Watch 2012 Mk II

[Brutus]

Bulldogs and Tigers fans all around the eastern suburbs of sydney...

 

[gronkathon]

We tend to get a good turnout of CBD workers to these games. One of our largest crowds there was V Parra on a Friday night.

I am glad we chose Allianz in the long run. A renewal of the ANZ deal was going to be the end of my 12 game season ticket

ANZ is actually IN your area though, a stones throw from club HQ at Concord. Allianz makes no sense.

 

[gronkathon]

From the Macarthur it is about the same travel time.

Allianz makes sense because it is a great ground to watch the game at, for a Friday night game there are many easy options for kicking on and they pay us a better rate per match to play there.

Homebush is closer to me but I will gladly travel the extra distance involved.

Suncorp is also a great ground to watch footy at. You should play there.

lol at fans whinging about travelling for an hour to get to a game!

 

[gronkathon]

If they opened up a double header slot to take a home game there for he right price why wouldn' you.

It is a business after all and we have a good supporter base in SE Queensland

Quoted for truth.

Wests -> 6 ANZ/3 Campbelltown/3 Leichhardt

You could then have reciprocal members attendence rights for games between Parramatta, Wests and Canterbury. 6 Western Sydney derbies, play around with "event" weekends and market the sh!t out of them. (EDIT: while we are at it, get a decent home and away jersey based on the two halves of the club. Enough with the crap "print" jerseys!)

Souths -> 12 Allianz

Get a recip. arangement with the Roosters going. Play the odd game at SFS for heritage resons against Tigers/Dragons whoever.

I wouldn't mind if St George -> 2 Allianz/5 Kogarah/5 WIN. You could then build up the Roosters/Dragons/Rabbitohs 6 rivalry games, using ANZAC day and heritage round at the SCG for "event" atmosphere.

 

[M2D2]

Souths will never go back to SFS while the SFS charges rent and ANZ gives souths money to play there.
Bird in the hand...

 

[Perth Red]

Depends on how confident you are at getting decent crowds. Keeping gate takings and paying rent may well be moe profitable if you are good at getting bums on seats.

Exactly who whinged about that? :? Perhaps it's a good idea to READ discussions before input.

Very good idea. I believe the reciprocal thing came in during the Tigers @ ANZ era (before the Eels moved their two games there).

I can't wait for the day the Homebush Rabbitohs go back home to Allianz, so their fans stay out of our home ground.

 

[gronkathon]

You would have a backlash moving games to Homebush.

You would likely have an uprising if you tooke a game away from CSS & LO and gave them to the concrete shit tip

 

[Timmah]

I'd think 5-5-2 or 4-4-4 would be the ideal split for the Tigers, I just think ANZ > Allianz in terms of accessibility for Tigers fans.

 

[gronkathon]

We have 4 - 4 - 4 now and it is the right balance. We need to work on CSS crowds a little but scheduling has not aided that cause this season.

Honestly talking to the fellow fans I sit near at the SFS who come from the Macarthur, Penrith, Parra, Leichhardt and Wyong they all prefer Allianz than ANZ. We were also much happier with the arrangement now that we dont play the Roosters at Allianz for our home game.

Edit: Who knows what the future holds though. If the ARLC fixes up the scheduling dilema and sets it at the start of the season I would be happy to take a few games to Bluetongue and have two blockbusters scheduled for Allianz as we get great support up on the Coast (of course this is very much dependant on any CC bid success/failure)

Allianze is good to watch footy at. ANZ on the other hand....

 

[Timmah]

As someone who's attended hundreds of games at ANZ, I couldn't agree less.

 

[M2D2]

ANZ is horrible unless its 35k+ where SFS, can be okay with anything.

 

[Red Bear]

SFS far better for watching footy than ANZ. Anzac Day especially but even other wise good view, close to the action and atmosphere retained, not lost to the, well, atmosphere.

 

[Perth Red]

What about this for a Wests stadium plan:

6 games Allianz (Sths, Storm, St's, Warriors, Bulldogs, Parra) 45K
2 games Leichardt (Roosters, Broncos) 20k
2 games Campbelltown (Penrith, Cronulla) 20k
2 games Bluetongue (Manly, Newcastle) 21k

Bit nomadic but if fixed schedule could work ok. If they are going to crack 20K avg then they need more games at Allianz.

 

[Timmah]

Ridiculous. Minimising the Leichh/Camp games to that level is stupid.

If you want to see more games at Allianz, would be 4 Allianz-1 SCG (or 5 Allianz)-3 Leichh-3 Camp-1 Gosford
