Crowd Watch 2013 - Part Deux

[mattyg]

Decent at Melbourne given origin time. Passable at cronulla but really should have been around 18k.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

10k was the crowd last season between those two in Melbourne and 22k the season before in Melbourne

Is Origin really a factor down there? They were expecting a crowd of 23k, I can't help but be a bit disappointed with the turnout.

I know they're in an expansion market, but they're the premiers and have only cracked 20k fans once this entire season.

Would have been much more there i reckon, if Tigers were going well this year.

Over 25k on ANZAC day and their average is 16250, so in fact, the Melbourne Storm are doing well considering the market they are in.

I said years ago on Bigfooty that I would be happy with a 16-17k average in their new stadium. The trolls laughed.

It'll keep growing too.

Origin would have no effect.

What would have an effect is the afl game across the road.

Carlton v Collingwood which is the biggest rivalry in the comp.

Melbourne arent a worry at the moment that is a good crowd...

They are today a bigger sporting franchises than these Melbourne clubs;

Melbourne Demons FC
Western Bulldogs FC
Melbourne Heart
Melbourne Rebels

with

North Melbourne Roos
and St Kilda on the radar

Ah, forgot about that. Though is there much crossover between the fan bases?

I agree they're a strong club that's cemented itself in the sporting community down there, I just really thought this year being the premiers that crowds would rise higher than they have.

 

[Billythekid]

It seems this year the storms big rivalries have been down crowd wise but the rest have been up. I think that's probably a good thing. Less away fans, more storm fans this year.

 

[Big Sam]

I have calculated that Valheru, Danish and co. might have gone off early with all the boasting regarding Easts' crowds in comparison to their biggest rival's.

Currently, Easts' average is 20,883 after 9 matches, and Souths' average is 17,571 after 7 matches.

My predictions for Souths' remaining home matches are as follows:
Warriors 17k, St Merge 15k, Manly 17k, Dogs 30k, and Easts 30k, giving an average of 19,333 which would be our 2nd-highest regular season average of all-time.

My predictions for Easts' remaining home matches are as follows:
Cronulla 16k, Canberra 14k, and Titans 14k, giving an average of 19,329.

These predictions I believe are underestimating our crowds and overestimating Easts'.

Disappointed with sharks crowd

Really?

I was hoping we would crack 14,000 but happy with 13,800.

It was f**king freezing down at Romondis Stadium so I can understand why the Family Hill was emptyish.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

i see your estimation for Souths v Dogs is 30k.... i think this is 20k light

 

[Cumberland Throw]

How was shark park that cold

its July FFS

11 degrees is probably pretty fair

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

it was cold?

lol

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Storm seem to have picked up an extra 2-3k regular fans this season,good stuff by them,on track for there best crowd average ever.

 

[Perth Red]

Ticketmaster now saying GA tickets sold out for Perth.

 

[Brutus]

Souths must finish over 20k or it will be a disappointment.

I have high hopes for their games against the Dogs and chooks.

The Carlton v Collingwood game drew 78,000 fans which is a lot. But I expected bigger (90,000 plus) for the biggest rivalry in the AFL.

I thought the last 2 rabbits games of the season would have been min 40k if on a Sunday. Friday might be a bit lower but hopefully they will be 35k plus especially if weather is like yesterday in Sydney
