19654 at Parra

The real battle of the west.

Outstanding at Parra today, so well done to all their fans who have turned out for a team in such poor form.

Next sunday will be interesting. Souths v Sharks on a sunday arvo at ANZ, form will hopefully see it get over 20K. Not really sure how sharks fans travel to OP if anyone can enlighten me?

Also i think Doggies v parra is one of the few fixtures that form wont really effect the crowd for the worse. Should be getting 28-30k for par

Isn't the souths game on a monday night?

Souths v Sharks is Monday night.

Bunnies v Sharks last year got 9K at ANZ on a Friday night. This year on a Monday it vhas every chance of being sub 10K

Eels v Dogs got 30K last year at ANZ on a Friday

 

[the dude]

Anything less than 15k next Monday will be disappointing.

If it was on a Sunday arvo instead it would probably be 20k

Context isn't a big deal for you is it.

That game was in torrential rain. It'll get 15k this year.

I doubt that. I think it'll get about 13k on a Monday night, 15k~ on a sunday arvo

Last year's second clash only got 10-15k from memory, although it was PISSING down.

Bunnies v Sharks last year got 9K at ANZ on a Friday night. This year on a Monday it vhas every chance of being sub 10K

Eels v Dogs got 30K last year at ANZ on a Friday

Can't see Souffs/Sharks sub-10k with both sides actually paying good footy.

It was pouring rain in that 9k game.

Decent weather, both in the 8, it'll get a solid 15k.

Outstanding crowd today at Parra.
I got there at 2.15 and there were only 400 tickets left for the family terrace (Brett kenny Terrace) on the south hill. They must have sold more then the allocated amount of seats as the two platforms for the invalid were full of standing patrons. There must have been a hundred and fifty or so on those two platforms where normally there'd be ten-twenty.
There rest of the stadium I was told was sold out. I couldn't even buy a single seat.
I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned here that it was a sellout, because it must have been, despite the stated crowd figure.
There were quite a few empty seats in areas where I was told I couldn't buy a single ticket.
This is where Parra Stadium sucks.
I reckon there could well have been over 22000 turn up today. The advertising hoardings prevent some standing room capacity, which would probably add another 2000 to each hill.
The stadium really sucks for capacity reasons, but also because I couldn't even see the scoreboard from the south hill, and ultimately, the time clock.
Parra stadium is really so far out of it's depth it ain't funny.
And watch them ruin the joint when they try and expand capacity, but then , that's a topic for the Future NRL Stadiums Thread.

Was defiantly an Outstanding crowd at Parra today. Unfortunately I left it to the left minute and rocked up at the gates at 2:40pm and the game was sold out.

Good to see despite how poorly both tigers and Eels have been performing that they can sell the game out.

And Yes as Suitman said the signs need to go they could easily stick another couple of hundred people on the hill if they went.

 

[the dude]

yep good on the Eels and Tigers. Very good turnout

 

[the dude]

I went to the Sharks game last year and there weren't too many Cronulla fans there because they were near last at the time. This week there should at least be a few thousand that make it from work + the usual 11 or so thousand souths fans that show up..

Monday night is the only thing stopping it as long as it gets decent weather. Anything under 15k will be poor

 

[Danish]

How many season ticket holders do souths claim again? Well over 12k isn't it?

 

[nqboy]

What was the mix of the crowd at Parra?

 

[Teddyboy]

Just watched it and thats what Rugby League should be about with playing in front of a packed crowd on a nice afternoon and just when you think West's Tiggers are going to make a joke of the home team for the first 68 minutes Paramatta contribute to an excellent game.
No 12-6 scorelines.

 

[Panther_Daz]

What is the expected crowd tonight?

 

[Moffo]

19,432

 

[Timmah]

15-20k will be a good result tonight
