Crowd Watch 2012 Mk II

[ouwet]

Imagine if the Eels and Dragons were still in the running for the finals. The crowd could have been anything.

Around 20-25K? If they were still in the running for the finals it wouldn't be Hindmarch/Burts & Young/Hornsby last game...

Going by that logic Lockyer's last "home game" against Manly in round 26 last year shouldn't have sold out.

What's all the fuss about Petero up in Brisbane for this week? He'll probably play again the following week.

Why did 41,000 turn up to Hazem's "last game" when he still had games in the finals to come?

Think about it.

I think the logic he's using is that if the two sides were in form, we may not have had the retirements en masse. Hindy and Burt may well have kept playing another season, same with Hornby.

Given there are no NRL players named Hindmarch, Burts or Hornsby, I'm positive you're right. :lol:

Mmm..i'm not so sure.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

I thought Sunday game was a special event ?

Roy Hadley said this morning that it doesn't qualify for free trains buses etc

 

[user_nat]

Can we safely say this is the biggest wooden spoon home game ever

I think the record is 11389

Do Melbourne in 2010 count?

This will blow that away anyhow.

What a disgrace. Swans games get special event status regardless.

 

[Timmah]

Disgrace?

Perhaps Hadley should check his facts before shooting off at the mouth:

Public Transport

Your event tickets include travel to and from Olympic Park Station on CityRail train services. Free shuttle bus services will also operate from Parramatta Leagues and Cole Sutton Reserve in Baulkham Hills to and from ANZ Stadium.

[Cumberland Throw]

Roy strikes again. He shot a bloke down for suggesting it should be special event

I hope it includes the LCD road signs, I hate seeing bleislow and swine games on these things

Yes it does

[Suitman]

Yes, but the "special event" buses won't be running. The Swans have had them for games with crowds much less than this.

Suity

 

[Cumberland Throw]

So that's the difference


Do they swans go and give the Duncan Gay a rim job every week

 

[Brutus]

Do you still have to change trains at Lidcombe? I bet you do.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

I have never understood changing at Lidcombe

I went from Gosford for a grand final once and had to change at Hornsby Strathfield Lidcombe Olympic park

It felt like it was made difficult on purpose

 

[dogslife]

I think special just refers to the calibre of people going to Swans games

 

[Suitman]

So that's the difference

Yep. The Swans get these buses, which run on 9 routes from all over Sydney, whenever they play at Olympic Park, regardless of the size of the anticipated crowd.

Well, the ARLC should lobby for it. Would you honestly expect the old incarnation to make getting to the game easier when lower crowds might mean more watching it on FOXSPORTS? New regime, new opportunities and all that bullsh*t. Try and get it for every game in the Sydney basin, not just the big events.

 

[jimmee007]

We should aim for a match of the round at ANZ either friday nights or Sunday arvo and the ARLC can lobby to have these matches as special event with public transport with heavy promotion for a massive crowd each week.

 

[aarondoyle]

Just said on the Game Plan it'll be a 40k+ crowd.

 

[Perth Red]

anyone still think it should have been kept at Parra stadium?
