Crowd Watch 2013 - Part Deux

[Timmah]

wheres timmah???

Attending the game, where were you tonight?

If you want RL crowds to improve, why not get off your arse and go to a game yourself?


Tonight's crowds were utter shit, no two ways about it. Embarrassing. I can see why they were - out of form home sides against interstate opponents following days of rain and still plenty of win.

If the highlights on FOX Sports of the Tigers/Cowboys game are anything to go by, it looked torrential most of the night. One for the true believers.

Not that long a while. The Bulldogs brought in a mere 11627 against the Cowboys in March this year.

That wasn't at ANZ, it was at Bluetongue

 

[RWB]

Need to get some roofs on those stadiums!

 

[Perth Red]

Perth needs a team.

 

[Evenflow]

Horrible stadium when it is raining and windy.

It's a horrible stadium in any conditions.

 

[The Voice of Reason!]

That wasn't at ANZ, it was at Bluetongue

Amateur mistake!

Mea culpa.

 

[Teddyboy]

Bring back Gallop cause at least the crowds were good most times.

 

[Lockyer4President!]

Ill give you Sydney lot a bit of credit, it sounds awful trying to get around. We are spoiled with public transport in Brisbane.

It's really nowhere near as bad as some make out.

Yeh try getting out of Sydney on a Friday night

Hell on Earth

Wollongong had a great crowd in the 5:30 slot last Saturday. Hope Kogarah can match it.

Nice weather today in Sydney. If Easts get less than 18k for a top-of-the-table clash, their supporters are a joke.

I agree it has to be a good show tonight from our fans. No excuses, its dry, top opposition, gun chooks side, great stadium, Saturday night. Ill bracket it between 16-20k,

Trains were delayed all day yesterday because of rain, like it is every other time it rains.

After 82 games:

2013
Total: 1,436,770
Average: 17,522

2012
Total: 1,416,589
Average: 17,275

What do you know? We're ahead of the same point last year!

:crazy:

 

[DIOGENES]

Up 1.5% -still a significant rise

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Average has dropped a lot in the last few weeks. Probably coincides with bandwagon fans like the tigers already writing the season off.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

It's like 301 people a game increase.

Lets not breakout the champagne yet

 

[Sydney Knight]

Went to the Tigers game last night on a boys night out. Had a great time but certainly wasn't the conditions to bring the family. I imagine based on current form the crowd would have been just as bad if not worse at SFS

 

[Rabbitude]

I reckon we will get it v storm. Ill call 16k for us and sharkies 15k or thereabouts

Anything less than a 20,000 for the battle of Roosters (2nd) vs Storm (3rd) would be embarrassing on what looks like being a fine but cold Saturday night.

Why do you bother with the NRL? I'm not suggesting anyone be blindly sycophantic but FMD, you seem more willing than most to stick the knife in even when good news abounds.
