Crowd Watch 2012

[elbusto]

Mate the cowboys should be very proud of the work they do in the community. Twice in the last 2 years they've come to the territory and both times the praise for their efforts couldn't be higher.

Meanwhile the AFL have 20 (yes I said 20) DOs in the NT. Fighting a losing battle in an area which could be heartland until we pick our game up.

Good on the Cowboys by the way. But how can we win this while we are fighting from the back?

It was good enough back in the early 90's.

well it isn't now. it'd be like comparing brookvale without lights to Suncorp for a night game.

seating for 5000, dining for 400 + the bar + 10 corp boxes + aircon benches, 6 change rooms (the 2 at each end can be made into a huge single area), 3 radio commentary areas, proper TV position, TV standard lighting. proper press box, accessible for most of the population, lots of parking in a purpose built sports precinct, easy access for buses, etc etc

v 2000 seats, + bar, no corp boxes, smallish change rooms, very very limited press facilities and a hill with literally no parking within 2km, in a very constricted area with one small access rd.

in logistics terms it's a no brainer. it wouldn't be feasible or possible to get Richardson Park to that level. ie it would require filling in the swamp and knocking down a considerable portion of Ludmilla in addition to the $30mil to get the ground up to speed.

The panthers will out draw gws won't they ??

 

[beave]

Pffft. Don't get your hopes up.

 

[Brutus]

The panthers will out draw gws won't they ??

Yes.

It will be a sellout at blacktown, even though there will be only 12 at the ground. Watch for the crowd to be announced as 16000.

Looking like a beautiful day to head out to Pamfa Park.

I do so expecting a capitulation of biblical proportions and having to hear poor old Grant Jones front the media while Sheens is having a nap in his Austrlian team blazer around the corner

 

[Yosemite Sam]

Blacktown only holds 10K doesn't it? I see the suns announced 18K last nite, despite the stadium being clearly half empty.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Yeah the suns crowd was bullshit

If they got 18k there last night the capacity must be 40k

I'd say 12k at Carrara. Real world numbers

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Looks very sparse at Blacktown.

The commentators are talking it up like its 35k

 

[nko11]

15,378 at Mt Smart.

 

[Red Bear]

15 something or other got announced in Auckland I think. Could've been 18, bit of a fuzzy stream

GWS are the best supported team in Melbourne :sarcasm:

 

[dangerousdave]

Couldnt be more than 5k at Blacktown.

Crowd in Cronulla looks good

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

It says 14,327 at Cronulla on Foxsports.

 

[Clifferd]

15759 crowd in Penrith

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Sydney Crowds were pretty shit today,, both were about 3 k light.

At least they weren't this shite...


Official crowd: 6,875 at Blacktown International Sportspark.

Official crowd: 6,875 at Blacktown International Sportspark.

Well... can hardly accuse the AFL of making up crowd numbers then.

 

[MightySharks]

My sons season ticket did not scan, I was told they have a few problems.

I think the crowd was bigger than posted and Cronulla don't lie about their crowd figures like the titans and some other clubs.

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

Well... can hardly accuse the AFL of making up crowd numbers then.
