But I thought "Queenslanders were far more supportive."

If that was the case, wouldn't the Bronco's crowd average be higher?

Are they only "far more supportive" when "they mixed it up more so only the occasional game was on Friday people would be more excited about the prospect of going"?

Yeah excitement has a lot to do with it. You would be surprised with how many people in Brisbane dont support the Broncos. Friday night games are getting so boring... Ticket prices are annoying too. I remember in 2008 our cowboys round 3 game (50,612) tickets for children were halved on the friday of the game, word got out and people were streaming in.

When it comes to club games we may not be far more supportive. But on a state level, of course we are.

That's pathetic considering all the success the Bronco have that should be averaging 40k minimum for a one team town for all there achievements it's under performing attendance wise. Also, a case for 2nd Brissie team if people do not support the Broncos.

A 2nd Brisbane team so they could alternate FTA Friday and Sunday would ake a difference and create a rivallary that will increase Broncos corwds imo. We saw a similiar thing happen in perth when Dockers came in and challenged Eagles, despite concern Eagles crowds would go down the went up to the point where evry game is a sell out these days. Rivallary is good as we see from the crowds of Sydney derbies that can be 2 to 3 times bigger.

How are ticket sales going for Dogs v Eels?

So there needs to be incentives for Queenslanders to go Broncos game? Like half priced kids tickets and only have games on other days?

But when a blokes birthday celebration catches on, suddenly its NSW trying to entice fans to games. (if you're unsure of how Blatcheys blues started, look it up)

They are giving away 8k for free to schools.... http://www.rloc.com.au/default.aspx?s=psc if you want free tickets.

Could be unexpectedly big then. Unless the above mentioned 8000 freebies were printed off before this number.

How many ticketed members do the dogs have? Must remember to add this to the pax

People just wont start supporting a team if whilst growing up they have supported another team.

Yes incentives for Broncos games would be good - friday night same old is getting damn boring. To the point where we could just stay at home and watch.

Of course it was a celebration, but the NRL ran with it as an incentive for people in Sydney to attend. And it works. Im not saying give everyone shit house maroon shirts and wigs for broncos games. But it would be nice for a marketing manager to come up with something. Ive personally noticed a huge decline of teenagers in the broncos crowds.

That's a pretty good pax if it doesn't include the 8000 freebies.
The Mrs was at Rhodes shopping Centre last night and she was in Sussans. If she spent more than $50 she could get two GA tickets to the match for $1, so they are really trying hard to get the crowd figure up tonight.

TV.

Origin is the pinnacle of rugby league, and being at Lang park during an origin game is something you simply cannot experience elsewhere. The buzz and excitement and passion are worth the price of ticket alone and that's all experienced well before a ball is even kicked.

The broncos on the other hand are on every single Friday night at the same location and as such people are less excited about going and just as happy to watch it a home with a couple of mates and a carton of beer for a tenth of the cost.

If they mixed it up more so only the occasional game was on Friday people would be more excited about the prospect of going, as it stands now the tv stations are dictating when they must play and it significantly impacts crowds.

As for no Sunday games in Brisbane - thats a whole other issue - Sunday games are proven to be more popular for fans to attend, especially in a nice climate.

If there is no Bronco's on a sunday then do people go and support teams in the QLD cup.

 

[Saint Doc]

Yep its definitely swelled and definitely more on the camera side.

When I first predicted 20k it was based on the eastern side at kickoff...but yeah its probably 25k

 

[Cumberland Throw]

I'll say 27 k

Still looks ordinary on tv

But it's probably in the top 5 of eels home games ever
