Crowd Watch 2013 - Part Deux

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.

Their name, North Qld suggests that they represent northern Qld not just Townsville. The last time I checked Cairns was in Nth Qld.

It's an option I believe they should look at.

They already did it (2001) and lost money. Neither Cazalys or Barlow park has the corporate facilities required.

They love us in Cairns. Came out in droves to watch us. Great crowd. I'd go as far as saying there is more Souths fans in Cairns than Broncos fans.

Based on all the times the Broncos played there? lol

Any part of the world Souths don't have more fans than everyone else?

Sydney??????

 

[One Eyed Aussie]

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.

Townsville/Cairns is like Sydney/Melbourne......they hate each other.

Na pretty confident we will get 16k plus so brissy then chooks then cairns

Nope cairns has got you by 3k I reckon


Absolutely stunning day in Sydney today , here's an idea...

Lets wait till 6.30 and 9 degrees till we play the game.

What a waste

Solid 12000 there. No more.

Yeah that is an issue, very little corporate facilities, the main stand holds about 2000 max. I think events qld have helped underwrite the event, but its the same for most events in regional or non league areas. There is a big push on in cairns to build 20000 capacity rectangular stadium, to host nrl, super rugby , a league games etc. however process has slowed as no govts have any money.

Sounds and looks like a lot of warriors fans as well. Not a very good showing by the roosters.

 

[BunniesMan]

13k at SFS. Poor crowd.

 

[BranVan3000]

No Doggies or Rabbitohs fans to bolster the Roosters numbers, of course its a poor showing.

 

[CC_Roosters]

Ill say 14k at allianz. The night games are killing crowds across the comp

 

[The Mad Hatter]

The NRL certainly don't make it family friendly.

6.30pm on a Sunday night is a graveyard shift if you want to take the kids and they have to go to school tomorrow.

Roosters doing well to get 13k there I reckon. Play it this arvo and I would have thought 20K easily.

 

[papabear]

IMO sbw and the Perth roosters would draw much better..

Except for souths v Easts
And doggies v Easts where doggies and souths fan bring a shitload of fans to the game.

 

[Brutus]

Serves the NRL right. 6.30pm is shit.

 

[Diesel]

Who chooses what time the games are? NRL or tv

If NRL, it's dumb to expect large crowds when games are not played at times that are family friendly.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

The NRL is neutering the clubs ability to draw crowds, earn revenue and entice customers - fans/members - to enjoy / purchase their product and further their business.

 

[BunniesMan]

Stop blaming the NRL when its Fox and 9 that choose what games are played when.
