Crowd Watch 2013

[Paullyboy]

Oh rugby league is surely in some sort of crisis according to the media.

F*ck journalist scum. They should end themselves.

Just read another wank article about the central coast now being a soccer town. http://www.foxsports.com.au/footbal...mph/story-e6frf4gl-1226629144728#.UXjkLCcayK0

Isn't this the same team that only got 10k to a grand final qualifier?

 

[undertaker]

40k. Well done Roosters, and well done Dragons!

Hopefully this fixture will never be taken to ANZ Stadium like it was in 2008

Yes it is. It was an appalling attendance.

Just about every useless New limited hack.

lol. And you take what they say seriously?
More fool you.

I'm trying to figure out where the other 3,000 seated people could fit in, SFS has 44,000 seats atm, looked more like 43k.

 

[Chook Norris]

David Smith has got to go

To reference Gould, if Smith somehow got the blame for the CvC crowd, then surely he should also receive acclaim from Hadley for the Anzac clash

Give them a rugby league team and that will change

 

[The Voice of Reason!]

Now thats how you build a must see event.

Actually, I was a bit selective with the stats, but it still made a valid point. The couple of years earlier weren't too bad:

2005 - 31105
2004 - 32270
2003 - 26246
2003 - 26014
2002 - 20588

It built well for a few years before taking a tumble, this clash. On fire now, of course.

Anyway, the average for this year's entire comp (to date, counting this game) is: 18885. Massive relative increase.

To be honest most people here probably follow both at the same time. But I would say there are more league only fans as opposed to soccer

Give it a few years and they may have to. It's building consistantly every year and this game may outgrow the SFS

 

[Desert Qlder]

Huge lines outside AAMI Park.

Looking likely a few might be disappointed.

 

[Desert Qlder]

Give it a few years and they may have to. It's building consistantly every year and this game may outgrow the SFS

Regardless, it should stay there.

There is no guarantee that the crowd would be the same at ANZ. I disagree with the idea that the game will outgrow allianz. 40K+ is plenty for a regular season game and it should be left there for the sake of tradition.

Would ruin the atmosphere unless they get 60k+. SFS is much easier to get to from the parade as well.

 

[CC_Roosters]

Would like to see the crowd segregated for the sake of improving the atmosphere that is my only complaint.

But fantastic occasion and great crowd, though I pity those who chose to drive and park on the grass outside

Should have been some membership advertising today, we have some real crowd momentum as a club going

I agree.

It wasn't that long ago that a regular season attendance of over 40 000 was unheard of.
Do what the Wanderers are doing. Refuse to move the games to larger stadiums, and build demand to such a point that

1. Memberships grow to demand a seat and.....

2. Push for stadium upgrade's (this is just relevant for the stadiums that need it.)

Don't break a chair bro.

Something that league should learn. And quickly.
Certainly creates more noise and atmosphere.
Not hard to sell supporter specific bays. It's done all over the world.
