Crowd Watch 2012

[Yosemite Sam]

Yep. Looks the same as last week in Melbourne. Not bad considering they are head to head with 80 000 at the MCG.

 

[user_nat]

I'm going to guess 37k at Suncorp.

 

[BunniesMan]

Melbourne crowd seems more than 11k to me. Try 14-15.

 

[Billythekid]

Considering our form we should be getting more. Still there is 80K people at the AFL and there are no away fans whatsoever.

 

[user_nat]

Obviously there was the other game across the road tonight, but you'd have to wonder how the Storm crowds will go when things aren't going so good on the field.
11k (or whatever it was tonight) when you are on top simply isn't very impressive.

Why do you think News Ltd keep propping them up? Because as soon as they miss the 8 in consecutive seasons they will be lucky to hit an average of 5,000.

News don't prop them up at all.

Edit, I called you a dumbarse because I thought bunniesidiot posted it.

A disappointing 11,369 in Melbourne tonight. Should have been better.

 

[Billythekid]

I don't think bad form would affect us that much at all. The problem is we have that real hardcore group of fans who will go no matter what but we aren't getting enough casual fans through the gates.

Embarrassing - they could win the next 5 premierships and only average 14k - time to call it a day on this experiment

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

Not bad in Melbourne, Big vfl game on, Friday night and all that.

Well done.

Give it time mate, it'll happen.

People have finally got the chance to see the game at a reasonable time. I think this will help the cause greatly.

Bloody oath mate, people expecting 30,000 crowds are delusional, it takes time to build a decent base and the storm are looking good at this point of time. And with the coverage on FTA now as you allude too, it can only help.

Get ya hand off it.

The storm may not bring in crowds like the afl, but there numbers are in par with the Sydney clubs and the raiders.

Everyone wants expansion, why kill a team?

No away fans to speak of and they are up with many Sydney teams already, what's the problem?

Whats the problem? Try $6mil worth of handouts per year and 4 premierships in 10 years and still only 11k per match

You can't support won't you don't see.

This is a major plus for the code in Victoria and around the country.
