Crowd Watch 2012

[Cumberland Throw]

Sorry but it looks crap at suncorp as well, 26k would be lucky i reckon

 

[Brutus]

15,000 at the Gabba in Brisbane today to watch the Fitzroy Lions.

 

[nko11]

26,683 at Suncorp. Where the Qlders this year?

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Anyone who doubts the power of marketing of NRL,

Needs to do some checking through history.

The ARL and Triple M from memory got massively stuck into a huge promotional campaign, for a couple of MNF games in 1996.

Almost 38k turned out to see Manly v Roosters...

Today on a Monday night it would get 8k...


Sydney City

Would of been nice to double the lions crowd today, to stick it right up them

 

[The.X.Factor9]

The crowd at ANZ pretty much sums up NSW's shit take of an attitude towards Rugby League. Aren't Canterbury and Souffs supposed to be 2 of the biggest clubs?

1 team town.
Sunday afternoon.
Not raining.
26k crowd.

But but but we don't like playing on Fridays, if we had a sunday game we would have a bigger crowd !

:roll:

Roosters v Broncos got 36k.

I agree Cumberland; where has the promotion gone? The NRL always preaches to the converted.

I know its been raining, Im just slinging some mud back.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Maybe if @michaeljnrl did something instead of tweeting all day, we might get a few new faces to games..

Maccas don't hand out free tickets anymore unfortunately :lol:

 

[Brutus]

Well Maccas should hand out free tickets.

That 11k for the Dogs v Chooks last Monday night looked pathetic.

 

[Sydney Knight]

Maccas don't hand out free tickets anymore unfortunately :lol:

With a big stadium like anz they could afford to do the free tickets with a big mac deal for a game. Or even the $5 tickets through the daily Tele like the original double header

 

[Perth Red]

Yup, there was only around 4k of them max ! They were all in one corner; the rest of the stadium was us.

On the crowd though, the Bulldogs and the Rabitohs have a massive contingent of families that come to games and I think the rain would have turned many away. I mean I took my little cousin to the game and I regret it because it was very uncomfortable to sit in that weather.


.

Not sure what game you went to but it wasn't uncomfortable at all unless you went in a tshirt? We were sat in row 14 in the front block and didn't get wet, no wind, not that cold. Apart from having to dry the seat when we got there it wasn't "uncomfortable" at all. I've come to the conclusion RL just isn't as popular in Sydney as we like to think it is.

 

[Chook Norris]

26k at suncorp? what happened to the fans crying out for a sunday game??

 

[big country]

Was that the first Dogs game sub 20k this year ??

Dogs need to relocate - Mars Red Planet Stadium would be nice no?

 

[aarondoyle]

It rained all week, including yesterday and this morning.

Is this a reasonable excuse? No. Piss poor Brisbane.

Can't imagine there will be many more after this sadly.

 

[some11]

Anything sub 30k is pathetic at Suncorp.

 

[Perth Red]

I think everyone can agree growing crowds needs to be a real priority for the ARLC. Going to be interesting to see what strategies they have to do it. Hopefully better marketing, hyping up massively potential big drawing games and subsidising ticket fees will be a start. Fixed scheduling and a push for better stadia would also be helpful.

Crowds have been pretty much static overall for over 5 years, lots of work to do to get them moving upwards again.
