Crowd Watch 2013

[CowboyFuriousFury]

42k despite it raining throughout the week is a great effort by Brisbane, despite the result it was one of the best games of the year.

funny how we get upset at a 22.5k crowd these days. back in my day, blah blah.

to be honest it looked about 25-27k on tv and i think that was a par crowd for the game nowadays anyway. so not that far off.

a centralised stadium and marketing policy will go a long way to making it 35k next time around.

A "Sydney" NRL membership that gets you into all your clubs home and away games in Sydney would also help boost crowds dramatically.

WSW won do the DT will be bitching about 22K at the SFS for a round 6 match while the A-League GF gets 35K+

If this crowd is double what the 2012 one is and biggest crowd since 2004 for these two teams then this is positive news... Report this DT!

22k is great for a minnow club like the Roosters

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Crowd looked way bigger in Brisbane..

Unfortunate about the members. I would say the pax was 45k+.

Only 4 sections had no one in them.. And smaller sections. But each bay looked only 75% full.

The return match at ANZ was always going to be the crowd puller for the Dogs v Roosters, dogs hate the roosters, why would they wanna help their crowd average? Come ANZ with the dogs getting players back and probably some good form, you'll see a good crowd that'll let their feelings known.

That is ridiculous. How could you sell a membership that couldn't get you into a sellout.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

NRL needs to sell memberships that get people into Nippon Ham Fighters away games

 

[Perth Red]

That is ridiculous. How could you sell a membership that couldn't get you into a sellout.

How many games sell out purely to home members? You could make tickets avail to away club members three weeks before the game, any places not filled by then go on general sale. Seeing most games sold out three weeks before the game would drive memberships.

Any stadium that doesn't have a min 20k capacity shouldn't be used.

Maybe only with ANZ and selected Allianz matches..?

Just got a pax from a mate that went and got tickets at the gate.

Sitting in section 733, so a few hundred tickets sold after this - 45,404

Why? Lets say its sharks v sth's at cronulla. 8000 sharks members, that leaves 12,000 avail tickets for sth's 14,000 members. They have a window of opportunity to take up the free ticket offer and 5000 do so. That leaves 7000 for sale to general public. Within a short time clubs with 15,000+ ticketed members will be predominantly playing out of anz and Allianz anyway.

If it is marketed as free admission to away games (subject to availability) then no one feels hard done to if by miracle all tickets are gone before they can get one. Drive demand, drive membership. WCEagles have a seven year waiting list for a ticketed membership due to sold out stadium every game.

You are a genius!

Nah, nah, nah nah, man, Yokohama DeNA Baystars FTW, Tony Plush got dis

 

[aarondoyle]

Any doggies fans who didn't go to the game and say "I don't want to help the Rosters coffers"... If you truly believe this you're a d*ckhead or just plain lazy.

 

[CC_Roosters]

Was surprised how few bulldogs fans where there last night. I would say 70/30 split

Except that game is the week before origin and both teams a likely to be missing a few.

I know what a backwards movement. Not wanting to help the Roosters....!!? It would help the Bulldogs more if they all showed.

Dogs won't really be impacted. Roosters on the other hand...
