Crowd Watch 2012 Mk II

[Kirky]

its awful here atm

about 3c air temp .. icy showers sweeping in every 15 mins
& the wind chill would have it below zero
its not predicted to stay this way thankfully for tomorrow though

also the radar has a rain band sweeping across Sydney as we speak too :x

Here's hoping. Canberra's ordinarily pretty cold, but today is simply ridiculous.

Looks to be passing. Forecast is for winds to die down and to be clear, 9-12 degrees between 6pm and 9pm

You have to marry this chick, they said.

She is hot and LOVES sport so it will be awesome, they said #-o

Hardly a cloud in the sky in the eastern suburbs for what it's worth. Looks fine out Homebush way too.

Weather won't be a factor tonight thankfully. I was worried a little bit earlier though.

 

[Dogs Of War]

I'm at Strathfield and it's looking pretty good. Was tossing up whether to go or not, but it's looking very much a possibility. Mainly cause I walk from Concord West station, and it's not a good walk in the rain.

 

[dgsfan]

Crowd looks good. 35k?

 

[dgsfan]

29k

 

[Panfas]

Bulldogs v tigpies crowd of 29k I think they said. Disappointing

41,467 at Suncorp.

 

[Perth Red]

Great crowd in Brisbane, stopped being disappointed by Sydney crowds, expect less than predicted and you won't be left scratching your head.

 

[Billythekid]

Such a great look a week after the swans manage 50K. We should be getting more than that for a game like this.

 

[Perth Red]

Swans just have more fans willing to go to the game than either of these clubs, global city!

Such a great look a week after the swans manage 50K.

they didn't:sarcasm: ... it was 45K with thousands of free tickets given out
but regardless
29K ... isn't up to scratch either

very very average.

 

[Clifferd]

The crowd was disappointing given how big the game was and it also lived up to expectation. Deserved 50k+...

The atmosphere was still great though

its a shame thats where their support ends though eh ;-)

 

[Brutus]

Good crowd in Brisbane, but about time they went over the 40k again.

Sydney crowd was very disappointing. We should be getting over 40k for these type of match-ups with the finals looming.

 

[VictoryFC]

Probably 20k-9k Dogs way. Rabs needs to stfu..."30,000...good crowd...even though people from the south might laugh about it". Why say something like that, who gives a shit?

 

[Cumberland Throw]

f**k me we have been hearing these snide remarks from rabs for 15 years

Nice bloke. But speaks like he is in a pub when over 1 million people are watching

I'm all for the down to earth view of things, but give me a break don't bite the hand that feeds u

 

[Timmah]

29k disappointing? That'll do me.

How do we consider a crowd 13k higher than the competition average to be disappointing?

Consider the same away side at the same ground on a Sunday arvo just a few weeks ago got a similar crowd, I think it's bloody good for a crisp, cold and windy Friday night.

Some people are just hard to please I guess :whistle

dis·ap·point·ing/ˌdisəˈpointiNG/
Adjective:
Failing to fulfill someone's hopes or expectations.

Obviously 29k is good, but its less than most expected and less than the game deserved.
