Crowd Watch 2013 - Part Deux

[SLRBRONCOS]

Fixed schedule....

So true.

I just hope we can win a few, because in 2010 when we were on the cusp of the finals we had a 38.1k v Parra and 38.8k v Canberra.

With certain must wins against Dragons (Sunday) and Bulldogs (Thursday night? Fu*k you NRL) , if we are still in with a chance big crowds could show with due build up.

This whole thread is embarrassing.
188 pages of weak excuses for even weaker crowds. Hopefully threads like this wont be necessary in the future. I cant imagine a thread like this on a AFL forum.

League fans, unlike AFL fans like to discuss a wide and varying range of topics

 

[elbusto]

AFL fans do not have much to discuss. No SOO, no Test matches. No International Profile at all.

Must be dull.

Must be dull.

But they do have robust discussions on which Racist/druggo/charged rapist/Brownpole dancer will make the All Australian Klanball team.

i know you're trying to score points against an AFL sympathiser.

but f**k me, the analysis of issues by media and supporters of the AFL shits on that in the NRL by a great height.

OMG - PEOPLE DISCUSSING NRL CROWDS ON AN NRL FORUM!

SOMEONE STOP THE PRESSES!

Take a walk buddy.

 

[elbusto]

Bit hard to estimate the crowd at Parra tonight. I cannot see one.

 

[DC_fan]

Looks to be around 10,000.

 

[elbusto]

You are an optimist!

 

[DC_fan]

9,327 at Parramatta.

I wasn't far of with my prediction.

Yep. My bad.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

9,327 at Parramatta.

Yuck

 

[Western_Eel]

Yuck

That's a great crowed IMO

The Swans used to get 7,000 to the SCG when they were running last in the early 90's.

People won't pay to watch their team get flogged. Penrith supporters don't travel on mass. I thought of going to this game but the parking at Parramatta is shite.

This would have drawn double this crowd at Penrith on Sunday afternoon.

the overwhelming objective is to have the house full sign up at Penrith & Parramatta for regional games such as this, no matter what the win-loss is of the participating teams is.

what the NRL continually fails to do is market its games/product as must attend events. regional derbies in a professional league in a metropolitan of 5m should be able to fill a 20k stadium no matter what.

in the overarching chase for TV $$$, the NRL has bred a general apathy into its following. too many rounds, a schedule tailored for television and the benefit of the networks rather than the attending fans, the focus on state games during an 2 month period amongst other things all have the effect of devaluing the club competition.

 

[Western_Eel]

I think even if it was a sunday arvo and they were giving away tickets the game wouldn't have been sold out, (Eels supporters have had a gut full)

 

[Dogs Of War]

Looks about 11k at anz today 20 before kickoff.

If that's the case then its a poor crowd. Its a top day in Sydney, so no excuses for a small crowd.

 

[M2D2]

I really REALLY am sick of tired or people stating no excuses when in fact there are many reasonable ones just because you want to point the fingers at other clubs because reasons.

 

[Dogs Of War]

Probably filled out to 14-15k at kick off. Still was hoping for 20k
