Crowd Watch 2013

[WaznTheGreat]

If Bulldogs played in Sydney, we would've got more then 13K...

LOL true

Good storm crowd

No it isn't. The dragons are one of the 3 teams who tend to draw really big crowds in Melbourne. It's one of the few chances each year for the storm to pull a 20K+ crowd. If this one is only 16K it doesn't bode all that well for the rest of the year.

It's not terrible but it doesn't give me much hope of seeing an increase by much over last year which is a little disappointing. Who knows though maybe things will pick up over the year.

That wanderers crowd is not as big as some on here mooted it would be.

Definitely more today then the Parramatta Eels got yesterday (Both playing NZ teams also)

Who are the Wanderers?

Wanderers is a cricket ground in South Africa

Jacques Kallis > Shinji Ono

 

[WaznTheGreat]

16,251

Does Fannie De Villiers play as well?

 

[MEE.]

Does it matter. Wanderers crowds sound like 100,000 compared to eels supporters.

That's because soccer is so boring the fans have to chant like maniacs to keep themselves entertained whilst Eels fans are too busy watching greatness

:lol:

Its a bit misleading to compare the crowds though, Parra's first game of the season after a terrible 2012 vs a team on top of their comp and going for their 9th win in a row.

I hear Richard Snell has a pretty good left boot as well.

Everyone loves a bandwagon!

Wanderers are only getting crowds of more then 10k because they have won 800 games in a row,wait until that Japanese star leaves and finds a better club somewhere around the world and those donkeys will be getting crowds of 4k

Also

Wanderers 1st game of season 10,458
Eels 1st game of season 13,351


Eels win

To be fair it's Moomba and a long weekend down here so considering that i thought it was a pretty good turn out. While i agree playing the Stains is always a good chance of getting 20k i don't think there's any doubt given those 2 things we'd have got that no worries.

When we get a shit crowd I'll always put my hand up but facts are many people go away on weekends and a shitload of people go to Moomba as well. Just saw the news here and the banks of the Yarra were absolutely chockers so IMO, this time there were legitimate mitigating circumstances.
