Crowd Watch 2013

[Diesel]

9699 at Canberra (if it hasn't been mentioned)

For 2 teams not playing well, I'm not surprised.

I'd be pissed if GWS got close to that number (I think they played in Canberra today)

 

[herbert henry1908]

32 somethig at anz. Abc grandstand ripping on the dt article, "you dot get facts you get agendas, was a disgusting article"

Dean Ritchie will probably take credit for the crowd.

32k vs Melbourne is awesome.

 

[flamin]

Amazing crowd Souths fans. I thought 22k would be good result.

 

[BranVan3000]

Really good crowd, hope we can keep it up

 

[Apey]

Knights crowd was fitting for the game.

Last season we talked about why Newcastle was not included in the competition when Penrith was admitted in 1967. One of the reasons was because the local Newcastle competition was too strong. I found this video which shows the sort of crowd. I am somewhere below the scoreboard. Fr. John Cootes in no. 3 for the Rosellas.

Hoping for another 30k at the SCG tomorrow.

 

[carlosthedwarf]

Well done Souffs fans. Glad to show DT merkins up.

GWS at Manuka got - 11,092

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Uh oh

f**k me raiders maybe stop worrying about investing in bunnings stores in queens land and stop getting out drawn by a club from black town and Melbourne.

If that is a legit pax then the NRL and the Raiders need to sit down and nut this one out. Maybe give the Raiders more afternoon games, or get a commitment from the new Federal Government that an indoor stadium will be build by 201X, or have a similar deal to what the Storm did last Monday.

I realise 2 out of form teams played at (probably a cold) night but less than 10K is unacceptable for NRL level

 

[CC_Roosters]

That is an unbelievable crowd at anz for souths. Well done to souths and have to say ARLC take notice, rugby league is not just a Western suburbs game!!

Canberra are getting a new stadium.

And there is no way GWS tickets were all paid.

 

[Billythekid]

Souths have copped a lot of sh*t from people on here for their crowds being to low considering their membership and all that. Tonight was an incredible crowd that few teams in the comp can ever lay claim to (30K+ against an out of town team). It really was a great crowd and the atmosphere sounded awesome.

Not worried about the Canberra crowd too much. I'd imagine that's about par the course for a game against the warriors there especially with the poor start to the year for both teams. Hopefully their crowds pick up after a few good wins.

 

[j5o6hn]

Watched the GWS game on TV in bits, if you can call it that if there were 11000 people there I will go heave,6000 max

 

[Cumberland Throw]

I agree it looked 7-8k max at Mankiluka

They claimed it was a ground record

But there were empty seats everywhere

 

[CowboyFuriousFury]

Excellent work Souths supporters proving doubters wrong tonight I'm sure there is a certain 'journalist' who need to eat his words.

Weather was fine at the game. Crowd was vocal but should have been larger.

There is no way mongball got a crowd of 11000+. More like 7000.

As far as the raiders are concerned, anything sub 10000 is poor but a lot of fans have lost trust in the raiders because of our inconsistency. If we start winning consistently the crowds will return.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Nah, despite all the freebies/promotions for the fumbleball crowd, I'd say 11k is fairly accurate. When I flicked over I actually thought it was slightly more.

As for the Raiders you can't rely on winning and consistently to grow your crowds, it's simply unrealistic.
