Crowd Watch 2012 Mk II

[Raiderdave]

abysmal crowd at the SFS ....but not unexpected

chooks are gone for 2012
dragons fans not convinced their side will do anything even if they did limp into the 8

lets hope Knights fans balance this woeful turnout with a monster crowd at Hunter Stadium this arvo ...

 

[docbrown]

Newcastle = the home of rugby league...?

Well one of, at least...

 

[Dogs Of War]

I did lol. You realise that's like saying "Melbourne Storm NSWRL games". But you keep fighting the good fight bro.

Well it's not too far wrong. Seeing the reserves play in the Queensland Cup.

 

[ash the bash]

Looks about 9,250 in Melbourne..

Is it like saying Auckland Vulcans NSW cup games?

 

[BunniesMan]

9223 in Melbourne is disappointing for an afternoon game.

Is it like saying Auckland Vulcans NSW cup games?

No because they actually play in a comp called the "NSW cup". The Storm play in the NRL just like West Coast plays in the AFL.

 

[Raiderdave]

so....... about 30,000 in Newcastle ?

can see only a tiny sprinkling of empty seats ... & the hills are chokers

 

[Panther_Daz]

If it is true that the capacity is now 33,000 there is 30,000 there at least.

 

[Perth Red]

Love that Newcastle stadium now it's been developed.

Poor crowds was the reason they dumped Saturday afternoon games. Anyone suggesting that the NRL should return permanently to that time slot has to be kidding themself.

Fully agree.

No excuses for this one.

 

[the dude]

Great work Newcastle.

Cowboys don't really have any excuses not to hit at least 20k.. Which I think they will do.

Probably has more to do with Melbourne's abysmal performance of late, and Penrith not really being much of a drawcard.

Still disappointing, I reckon a lot of members will be kicking themselves for not turning up given the result.

If there's anywhere that Saturday arvo should work it's Melbourne.

You do know Manly is 6th right?

 

[Brutus]

Doesn't look like 20k at Dairy Farmers.

More like 16-18k.
