Crowd Watch 2013 - Part Deux

[Perth Red]

Was this Cairns game meant to be a sellout? Doesn't look it yet.

Looks a decent crowd but not a sell out. 13-14k?

 

[elbusto]

It looks like a great crowd at a great ground. What a relief. This weekend has been a bit sad.

You're an idiot.

You really bit the bullet like a tosser and went on a rampage with an irrelevant topic.

Fact is - last nights kickoff was 13.8c at 5:30pm and you're claiming 3c as a good winter temp.

Clearly bullshitting - and will continue to do so.

This is a classic example of what I meant in this thread.

Not bad at all.

Probably more than they would have got in Sydney.

It's probably 50/50 if they would have got more in Sydney.

But the good thing is , this is 16k different people that got to attend an NRL game this year.

Guys get on the NRLNation forums and tell them about how to improve crowds then. Or post 'em here if you haven't got if haven't got a membership to it, and we can do it on their behalf, cause it's what the latest topic is about.

The Broncos are a one team side in the second largest rugby league city in Australia. I'd hope they would be doing better than a regional side who play in frankly terrible conditions most of the time.

Can Cairns be the number 1 crowd for the week

 

[POPEYE]

The Rabbitohs may have their roots in a shit hole but you can't go anywhere on this continent without finding red and green flowers. Share the game with the bush NRL

Maybe, its a pretty similar crowd to what we pulled against the Cowboys.

It would have been nice to have the Saturday afternoon game here though, I don't think we have had a home day game all year, and I don't think we will get one until the draw is done. Though at least next week we have Parra, which is their home game at ANZ

1 - Brisbane

That's more then the local team, North Qld Cowboys are pulling for their home games.

What does that say about the Cowboys.

Does Townsville really qualify as local for people in Cairns?

It's largely a different audience, an audience that only gets 1 game a year at most.

1 - Brisbane

The Cowboys supposedly draw fans from all over north Qld, well at least they used to anyway.

After today's great effort from the people of Cairns I wonder if the Cowboys will give any thought to playing some home games in Cairns.

I think it would be a good idea for them to do so.
Though I imagine there might be some extra cost in doing so.

Or you could Look at it the other way, it was bigger than 3 of your home games in sydney this year.........

Great day in cairns I was there. Capacity is 18000. I think great for a first time, particularly if you look at ticket prices. 68 for grandstand 53 for grandstand behind try line which is where there were a few empty areas. 30 for the hill. A slight adjustment will result in sell out. It was pretty full, only seen one bigger crowd pre season cowboys vs storm had 21000 due to so many ex far nth guys graham, slater, Johnston, Williams, Bolton, etc.
