Crowd Watch 2012 Mk II

[Brutus]

Cant v Parra has so much potential.

Suncorp crowd is average. Shame the weather was ordinary.

 

[user_nat]

Ordinary? It's bucketing down.

 

[chigurh]

Dreadful weather in brisbane today, that is a good crowd considering.

Dreadful weather in brisbane today, that is a good crowd considering.

Mainly due to all the kiwis, they were everywhere!

63,000 people at Friday night footy. Top stuff.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Imagine if it was dry in Brisbane and Parra fans actually showed up to games.

 

[dogslife]

It may have just been selective camera angles but there didn't look to be a whole lot of Parramatta supporters there tonight

 

[ByRd]

Was at the game and there was probably about 3-5k Eels fans, no more than that but understable I guess, still a good crowd

 

[mattyg]

if dogs and eels were both in form played on the same night (conditions wise - i.e. being a nice warmish winter friday night) it would crack 40k easily IMO. Put it on a sunday arvo and you have an easy 50k plus. Very good crowd tonight. I've been to over 100 games at ANZ and to me it looked 35k+ The bottom level was packed, especially the southern end and level 4 both sides was packed too...good stuff from both teams. Sharks, Roosters, Manly, Panthers struggle to get 1k to our home games, regardless of how good they are playing.

Good Friday night crowds for sure. Unfortunately we're forecast for rain and possibly hail down here and it's due to come this arvo they reckon so certainly won't help our crowd. I was hoping and still am that we'll get some Pies and/or Geelong fans coming over early to watch the Storm and then head over the G with plenty of time to spare to watch that game. Contrary to popular belief there are supporters that can and do follow both codes and there's 4 in our group that'll be doing just that

 

[Cumberland Throw]

We should get 50k today ???

Did Dogs allow Parra ST holders in for free??

 

[Pigskin]

I do like to pump up Brisbane's tyres re the centre of the RL universe, but that 32k crowd last night at Suncorp is unbelievably good.

I was there and can report that it did not stop raining the entire game. Not heavy but very constant. It was a miserable wet night smack bang in the middle of winter.

In fine weather with the crazy amount of Kiwis there, I have no doubt that would have been 45k plus.

Was a great game too .


Oink !

 

[Timmah]

Tonight I'd say we're looking at somewhere near 20k for Hunter Stadium - cracker of a day up the Coast so far.

Storm v Cowboys hopefully will benefit from the AFL before it and the Batman promo - 13-15k I'd hope.

Tigers v Penrith... well both are playing like busted arses at the moment. Hopefully the Campbelltown factor (only 4 games there a year) works in their favour.

Yeah they did

Talk in today's Tele of maybe 25k....all corporate seating sold out. Benny was saying he's never had so many requests for tickets too...here's hoping.

Tige's should draw 15k to Campbelltown against Penriff.

 

[VictoryFC]

Should keep the average purring along. Lots of Warriors fans at Suncorp last night.

 

[CowboyFuriousFury]

Eels vs Bulldogs got potential in the future to drew big 40-50k one day providing both teams are at the top of the ladder and play cracking RL. Bulldogs setting the benchmark for Sydney teams.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Eels and Bulldogs is easily the best rivalry in the NRL,can't believe i went to the Foxsports website the other day and the best rivalry poll had Manly/Melbourne leading by a mile

DERP

People have short memories.

Manly V Norths and Manly v Parra are much bigger for us than the Storm match, and one of them isn't even in the comp anymore!
