Crowd Watch 2013 - Part Deux

[dogslife]

People just don't understand life in a post crowd crackdown world. No more bullshitting. What it looked like tonight would have been 17k in the past, that doesn't mean it was 17k.

Yeah but when are they going to crack down on Souffs members that don't exist?

Who said they don't?

Go check www,Rabbitohs.com.au and you will see we have over 25,000 members.

How come when Parramatta get 11-12k the stadium looks practically full and when the Panthers get 11k the stadium looks empty,aren't the stadiums pretty much the same size?

Wierd

Maybe Panthers fans are fatter then Eels fans. So even though there maybe less Panther fans attending games, it looks more because they take up more space.

When did that start? And can someone please tell the Gold Coast Titans.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Sad that the Eels aren't giving proper numbers,our crowd average at the end of this season will probably be given at 13k when in reality it should be 16-17k


16-17k for a team that will win 2 wooden spoons in a row would be brilliant

Don't have to pay tax on that income

The tax office don't tax you on crowd numbers! They tax you on income and profit (haha). There is no reason to under state a crowd.

13 was correct last night

I think parra space the crowd a bit more

You can see like every 3 rd seat is empty in some parts

 

[Perth Red]

What it shows is that with a decent compact rectangular stadium even a small crowd can look decent and create an atmosphere.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Cowboys are another team that when they get 12-13k it still looks pretty good

So does that mean the Titans crowd you called bullshit on Sunday was actually correct? After all according to you it must be true.

19,214 at Hunter Stadium.

19,214 at Hunter Stadium.

Not bad but love them to see them crack 20000 plus.

 

[DIOGENES]

If there were 7k at Skoda today there must have been 25 at Parramatta last night.

Why do they announce people through the gate rather than tickets sold?

 

[Swarzey]

Great to see consistency in our crowds. Always getting 15-20k at home. Reflects our membership.

Unlike the "Pride of the League". What a joke a of a "title".

 

[cleary89]

Pretty good at newy.

I'd rather be at the top of the table, winning games AND averaging 19k crowds but take your pick :lol:

Because they're announcing attendance.

I asked a Panthers offical a few years ago. We had the blackhole for example sold out with a waiting list. Yet was 60% full pretty much every game. so I said 'We can't re-sell that seat why can't we count them in the crowd'.

The response was catering deals are done on a per head. Less you have cheaper it is. In Emergency situations they need to know how many to evacuate.

Not sure how it works with the larger staduims but that's for Penrith.

Crack open another bottle of red ted.
