Crowd Watch 2012

[some11]

Well by the looks of the jump they had last week, about 10k of those are 1 game members for the cowboys clash

No, they were not counted as was stated in the memberships thread.

The smallest Broncos v Cowboys crowd for a game in Brisbane since 2003. When they were playing at the old ANZ Stadium.

The got 43488 crowd in 2005 and that was the NRL's record year.

I thought the Suncorp crowd looked great. More than 43k. Hard to complain about that.

No way mate, there were a few completely empty bays in the upper Northern and Southern stands amd the Lower eastern had plenty of vacant seats at times, i thought during the game it was going to be announced as 42-43k.

What I find hilarious were the claims from the Bears camp that they will average around 17-18k and will have 5k away fans at every Sydney game.

No, they will probably average around 13-16k depending on form, and have a similar number of travelling fans to other Sydney clubs.

Broncos crowd was poor. Cowboys form probably a problem.

Honestly i have more faith in the central coast bears to turn out consistent crowds than i do for any new side in SEQ

So many idiots I know thought the Broncos were going to smash them.

I'm actually happy to see 17k being bagged as a "bad crowd" by some for Gosford.

Especially while clubs like Cronulla, Penrith, Manly often struggle to get 85%+ of capacity at their games.

I find it hilarious that anything the Bears say or do gets dismissed as not worthy by certain posters
- massive membership drive
- large amount of sponsorship and corperate support
- any big crowd at Gosford
- covering a large area not currently having a team

I also find it hilarious that if there is a poor crowd in Gosford the line is they dont deserve a team, if there is a sold out crowd in gosford it's just cos away support is boosting the numbers, talk about a no win situation.

Good crowd, looked pretty packed on TV.

Wonder how tonght will go at ANZ. Minimum of 30k you would think.

They built this game up last year but haven't heard anything about it this time round. Deserves 40k!

 

[dogz08]

Should get over 30k

 

[Raiderdave]

both crowds last night were a bit

meh

coulda been better ..... but ok I spose

Dogs V Dragons is a bit of an unknown
2010 they got 38K when no one expected it with the dogs going ordinary .......... & when we all expected near 40K last year with both sides going ok

we got 34K ...:sarcasm:

both those games were on Fridays ... ANZ is hard to get to at the end of a working day traffic & train wise

a Sat nite should help the crowd as people have all day to arrive

 

[Cumberland Throw]

ANZ could really surprise tonight

2 teams coming off wins
Big supporter base
Perfect weather
Nothing else on in sydney really

Should I whisper 40k ??

 

[Pazza]

brilliant weather today in sydney!

 

[Yosemite Sam]

How many are they expecting on the Gold Coast tonight? I get the feeling anything over 15K would be acceptable, but a 4:30pm kickoff is a bit ridiculous.

 

[beave]

I reckon it will be about 12k in reality and posted as 17k on the big screen.

 

[cleary89]

taylor swift on next door.

future music on at randwick, expect most of the doggies supporters to be there with shirts off.

 

[dogz08]

Sydney FC are playing too

 

[DC_fan]

With only minutes to go to kickoff, the crowd at Skilled Stadium looks incredibly poor.

 

[age.s]

Yeah looks and sounds empty at skilled.

Food for thought for those who can see nothing but positives in a third SEQ team.
