Crowd Watch 2012

[The AXXXMAN]

Actually basic adults are $30.

either way, they need more than 11k at the crowd, particularly as not all patrons are adults paying $30.

 

[CC_Roosters]

Brisbane V Steelers 46k
Melbourne V Newy 14.5k
Penrith V Sharks 15k
Parra V Manly 11k
Chooks V Warriors 10k
titans V bulldogs 15k
wests v souths 25k
raiders v cowboys 10.5k

wests v's souths must be 25k as a minimum really should be 30k, anything less is a failure. looks to be good weather, sunday arvo, great stadium, heritage round, the list goes on......

 

[BunniesMan]

There'll be 25k and they'll be 2/3 our fans.

 

[Teddyboy]

right there. in many cases, the NRL looks like a 2-bit amateur suburban Rugby comp on the ABC a few years ago, rather than the most popular league on the eastern seaboard of Australia.

Very true for some teams and games.

 

[Jono1987]

17k is still average considering the Dragons are a good team and supposedly one of the better supported teams.

I'd love to see them sell the ground out.

Great? No. Average? Hardly.

There is no disputing that we're one the most supported teams in the competition. Whether you use home attendance, away attendance, membership numbers, TV audience ratings...whatever. It is clear that we belong in the top handful of clubs.

We agree on your last point. It's a shame that it would cost a fortune to transform the ground from an oval to rectangular shape. It might slightly reduce capacity but those seats behind the goalpost would provide much better viewing and might then sell out.

Surely a proper steep grandstand close to the touchline and in place of the hill would increase capacity? Then you could square up and transform the ends to hills with seats at the front ala newcastle.

14,388 at Campbelltown.

 

[CC_Roosters]

14,388 at Campbelltown.

Thats pretty good IMO

 

[DC_fan]

14,388 at Campbelltown.

Crowds at night games can be difficult to judge when watching on TV. But I wouldn't have thought their was that many fans there.

Anyway a good crowd.

 

[azza29]

11 thousand in Melbourne?
They would be disappointed with that.

What's it cost to go at AAMI?

A bit low, from memory they had a few under 10k against the lower drawing teams last year, so in that light it's an improvement. Sunday afternoon just doesn't seem to work well down here. Rebels got a rubbish crowd last week too.

Given the Knights aren't exactly a huge draw card in Melbourne I reckon we'll get a similar number on Friday night.

And GA tickets are about $25 or $27 IIRC. Kids/family tickets are dirt cheap though.

 

[Clifferd]

good crowd considering how sh!t both teams are, aswell as on a Monday night

Round 3 killed us, averaging just 14,006. Rounds 5, 6 and 8 should go a long way to catching up with the curve.

 

[docbrown]

So

2011 (up to Round 4 Avg) - 16,859
2005 (up to Round 4 Avg) - 17,581

2005 (up to Round 5 Avg) - 17,717
To catch up to that 2011 Round 5 needs 169,212

 

[Timmah]

Next two weeks SHOULD represent a good pickup, a big Easter should right the ship, hopefully

 

[DIOGENES]

Doc Brown you do know this is 2012 don't you?

 

[Smooth Operator • • •]

Can't really complain for crowds this round, though nothing spectacular. Crowds should get better next week. Should be aiming for +25k Tigpies vs Souffs at SFS surely, though Tigers shoddy form might hinder this outcome.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Doc Brown you do know this is 2012 don't you?

The Delorean is stuck in first gear.
