Crowd Watch 2012 Mk II

[t-ba]

I've always wondered, is that a 'reflecting raptor' or a 'thinking t-rex'?

Philosoraptor.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Big test for Souths next week. Surely 20k+ will show up if they win tomorrow?

 

[Usain Bolt]

Souths/Roosters should be 20K tomorrow.. Roosters should get around 5k to the game

 

[Billythekid]

Big test for Souths next week. Surely 20k+ will show up if they win tomorrow?

With the dragons coming off a win, souths in great form and 2 big Sydney sides like that facing i'd consider 20K pretty damn disappointing.

Especially when theses two teams get 20k plus to a trial.

 

[Canucks]

Especially when theses two teams get 20k plus to a trial.

They should get a big walk up crowd... I'm even tempted to go and I hate both teams....

Monday 16 July
Roosters v Rabbitohs @ Allianz Stadium, 7:00pm FOX Sports LIVE - thread
Crowd total Round 18: 133,008 (one game left R19)
Crowd average Round 18: 19,001
Crowd total 2012 (135 games): 2,220,738 (one game left R19)
Crowd average 2012: 16,450


Comparison:

After R19 2011: 2,216,836 average 16,300

After R19 2012: 2,220,738 average 16,450 with one game to play

Basically, only a crowd of less than 10k could do any damage to the figures. I'd like to think we're on track for another record year. Double Rivalry Round great idea IMO.

[Brutus]

I didn't know Skilled Park held 38k timothy.

 

[Perth Red]

A mixed bag this week but some really positive crowds in there and good to see the round bringing up the season avg.

 

[Clifferd]

I'm assuming he meant 28k.

A sell out at Skilled Park or close to it is a real possibility though, IMO.

 

[Canucks]

If you want to boost crowds they should have back to back rivalry rounds, where you play the same team two weeks in a row.... any fights or niggle from the first game will create a week of promotion for the week after....

They do it in the NHL, they have back to backs and it works a treat....

Especially if coaches bag each other in the pressers after....

27.5

 

[DIOGENES]

Round 20 was the killer last year - bad weather produced only 105k

 

[Timmah]

Interesting idea. I dont hate it.

 

[beave]

Our game being on a monday night will drop the crowd by about 6-7k, saturday night would
Have seen about 18-20k rock up, shame.

 

[CowboyFuriousFury]

Cowboys home games on a Monday night doesn't work you think NRL would of learn by now.

 

[beave]

Neither does having 4 home games in the first 6 rds during the wet season, but hey wtf would I know.

 

[BunniesMan]

You'd think you guys would know by now that crowds are not the number 1 priority when deciding fixtures.

As long as TV has the power to choose what games are played when, crowds will be down on list of priorities.

 

[dogz08]

Crowd looks pretty sh!t
