Crowd Watch 2012 Mk II

[Teddyboy]

If todays afl game between suns and lions tops last night at skilled it will be pretty embarassing for league folks in SEQ. I'm willing to give manly the benefit of the doubt if the capacity has been reduced for a time, but i am confident mid 20's would have been easily obtained at a Allianz or ANZ.

While the titans v broncos is a derby in a geographical sense i feel it is still too young to generate a genuine hatred between the clubs and fans that leads to automatic sellouts associated with derbies world wide. I don't sense any hatred between the fan sets so i would call it a soft derby tbh.

Souths v Dragons should be getting 30k tonight. Given souths are top 4 material and dragons are hunting for a finals spot

I wish people not give crowd predication's as there always seem to be a big letdown come matchday.

Any one have the crowd figure?

I meant at Mt Smart.

Thought it would be more at ANZ. Looked better than usual in the area alongside/behind the posts.

OUTSTANDING showing by the Rabbitoh Army. That would be in the top 10 crowds for Sydney this year. And when you take into consideration the average weather and playing a team not winning much. It shows the bandwagoners are coming out of the woodwork. I expect 25k against the Tigers for Sunday Arvo next week if this night game against a worse team from further away got 21k.

The Dragons brought a solid contingent of supporters.

we'll get more than that against the Cowboys this week.

errrrr....... someone tell me this bloke is kidding :sarcasm:

spectacularly .... average ....turnout was the only thing it could be called.

Whats so funny? It was a top 10 crowd for Sydney this year. So it was excellent.

Take into consideration the showers today, the fact it was a night game and it was against a mediocre team, outstanding.

Considering next week is a day game rather than night, a top 8 team rather than non top 8, and Wests fans are closer to ANZ than Dragons fans, 25k is possible.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Stg v Souths is the realistically our barcelona v Madrid

21 k is not outstanding

 

[Chook Norris]

21k is spectacularly average for a Souths v St George game.. I'm interested to see how that stacks up against previous years at ANZ..

 

[BunniesMan]

The metaphor would be true if both Souths and Stg were dominating onfield too.

The better metaphor is Dogs v Souths this year and we got 35k to our match earlier in the year. Both teams are doing better now than they were then. Dogs v Souths would get 45k this weekend.

 

[DIOGENES]

22,700 last year

81k so far this round with 3 games to go - pretty average

 

[the dude]

and that is why you never over estimate rugby league crowds

Exactly.

 

[the dude]

And it certainly looked liked more than 21k at the game tonight. I thought more like 25k.

Either way, I really hope we get a good turnout next week against the Tigers. Sunday arvo footy, 30k would be great.

 

[Fire]

f**k having ANZ as your home ground.

 

[the dude]

better than brookvale/shark park

 

[Fire]

True. I wasn't having a dig. Just think it'd be better for Souths and Canterbury fans to have their own suburban ground. It feels funny when I go there. When we played out of the SFS it was the same, just felt weird.

I would much rather play out of SFS to be honest. But that would mean sharing with the scummiest team in the league.

Unfortunately subruban grounds are slowly becoming a thing of the past. What I would give to have a Kogarah/Campbelltown style stadium in Redfern.

Yep. It'd be like us and Sharks sharing a ground. Yeah suburban grounds are definitely becoming a thing of the past (at least for Sydney teams). It's f**ked.

 

[BunniesMan]

In an ideal world we'd have a Leichhardt stadium at Redfern Oval to play our 5/6 lowest drawing games. We'd play our 5/6 highest drawing games at SFS/ANZ (both have their pros and cons) and we'd sell 1 or 2 to a place like Gosford or Perth.

But we don't always get everything we want.
