Crowd Watch 2013

[undertaker]

It'd have to be around 1995 I think, maybe 96.

Those days of a full Bruce Stadium in the 90's looked really good on TV

From looking at some footage of matches at Bruce Stadium in the '90s, is it my imagination or not that the ground looks more like an oval shape? I dunno, but every time the camera pans to plays close to the eastern touchline, you can see that the fence on the eastern grandstand looks a lot further away from the playing field than it is today. Maybe the ground has been re-configured since then.

Watched footy show first time this year and was disappointed (didn't watch last 15-20 minutes) they hadn't mentioned the Samao v Tonga game, and having armed services personal, no mention the defence forces would be involved in the Defence services world cup in the UK in a couple of months time.

Just so typical of rugby league journalism (sigh using that last word) to ignore good things in the game, and they harped on about what a great job our soldiers are doing ad nuseum, yet 'dont even have the knowledge to wish them well in a world cup that will involve the defence services of Russia & Serbia.

Well, after all it is The Footy Show you're talking about. What more do you expect?:lol:

The stadium was rectangularised in 1997 for the 2000 Olympics.

Bruce stadium looked good with 10000 back in the 90's.

Interesting to see if the swans and waratahs playing at the same time impacts one or both of their crowds

 

[Sydney Knight]

I'm sure the DT didn't factor the 2 games on at the same time into their 35k swans prediction

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Ticket sales for City/Country "poor" according to a CRL bloke I know.

Next year could be taken "out west". Might be an idea.

I don't know what the waratahs have been averaging but the crowd looked pretty poor on tv.

Too many Yawnion teams in Sydney.

 

[CC_Roosters]

So much for that sellout at the swans lol

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Jeez if we can't sell out 8k in Coffs ???

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Coffs is bigger than 8k. They may get 8k but there will be plenty of empty space.

Should have gone to Cooma.

Ticket sales for City/Country are understandable,who wants to watch Joel Reddy run backwards and score for the wrong team or watch Adam Cuthbertson eat cheeseburgers on the sideline

I'm really pissed off David Simmons wasn't picked at half-back and Matt Groat wasn't given a start on the wing.

As a result, I won't be watching.
