Crowd Watch 2012

[mattyg]

the way they are playing and all the groundwork the NRL has done with Origin games in Melbourne, brand new stadium etc. they should really be pushing 20k plus every week but it just isn't happening at the moment. I'd be worried about figures if they were to drop off in form.

The storm really need to put bums on seats next week

Their numbers this year are pretty bad considering their start

They have more members a better stadium, fta tv coverage (sometimes)

15k min this week

How many games have actually been on FTA? The crowds have been disappointing but i think they have been up on their relative fixtures compared to last year. Certainly i am hoping for more in some of the later games.

F*cking lol at this though. So the storm should be pulling 20K every week with absolutely no away support? No team besides the broncos can do that in the NRL why the hell should the storm be expected too? I certainly think the storm should be aiming for a 20K average in the short-mid term future but lets not get ahead of ourselves.

The problem remains that nobody cares about league in Melbourne - regardless of form. The bandwagoners will only come to see the Broncos or Warriors play, and maybe finals. I reckon they'll get 13k max on Saturday.

Warriors/Raiders/Cowboys/Titans all get better away support; with the exception of Raiders they have all been in the comp for a similar period of time or less than the Storm and they have never had consistant success or won a premiership (again, besides the Raiders). This isn't even including Brisbane to be fair. Given the Storm's success and the fact they have a support base of 4+ million people, a rise in crowd averages from 8k to 10k even in a new stadium is hardly impressive.

Well azza what do you think the Storm do about it because it's pathetic to see a champion team draw such crap figures, seriously if the Storm was on the eastern seaboard they be packing out the place. Melbourne doesn't deserve the team they have due to there indifference.

Yeah that little incident that happened 2 years ago wouldn't have lost them any fans at all............:roll:

 

[Brutus]

Did I just hear Grant Goldman announce 14,000 or something?

 

[Teddyboy]

great weekend for crowds in both the NRL and Super League and wish it was like that every week.
Apart from the Raiders shit crowd the West Tigers would off been near sell out if it was Campbelltown or Leichhardt.

 

[beave]

Looks more than 14255.

 

[The.X.Factor9]

14k for Brookvale...

It looks full :S

 

[Cumberland Throw]

14 and a half at Brookie...

Looked more than that... something seems wrong there

 

[user_nat]

Does look like more. Decent crowd anyhow.

Good weekend overall, Titans and Raiders the exceptions.

Construction in the northwestern corner has probably shaved a couple of thousand off the figure, but it does look more than 14,255.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

how the f**k did they ever get another 12000 people into that shithole in 1986

 

[canberra_raiders2k2]

That's what I was thinking. Looks packed out, whats the capacity, like 15k???

 

[Cletus]

14 and a half at Brookie...

Looked more than that... something seems wrong there

Most people are sitting on the hill and the concourses aren't chockas. It gets pretty uncomfortable with 17,000+ I hope the government comes through with an upgrade.

 

[DIOGENES]

19th largest round on record.

 

[DIOGENES]

Now within 3-4K of last years aggregate but round 7 last year was a big one and its likely to blow out again next week
