Crowd Watch 2014 part 2

[wests1]

I think two crowds of 20,000 tonight would be a good solid start to the weekend. We need to remember that we aren't going to get the sort of crowds we saw in the two rounds previous because it ain't a public holiday. Hopefully 25,000 at Homebush on Sunday as well and that makes for a reasonable round crowd wise.

so we are expecting cold and rain at moore park,,, whilst warm and balmy at homebush...

Would we be happy with the swans only beating us by 150% tonight ???

How Sad is that ??

Its embarrassing that the swans get the highest average attendence in 'heartland' since the mid 90s. Also the short time it which the lions and reds outdraw the broncos. Its a weak heartland for other codes to gain huge ground compared to the southern states it which the non heartland codes made minimal impact to the main code.

Brisbane is the bandwagon capital of Australia considering how quickly they jump on and off codes throughout the past decade. A true heartland should have its top code be the top draw at all times.

SFS is a LOOOT better insulated against winds/cold in winter then ANZ and on top of all that it's always also colder in Homebush.

ANZ is a lot more open and about 3 degrees cooler so you get a lot more of that cold wind that hits you in winter.

I remember when Souths played at the SFS it never really got that cold and I hardly ever got that cold wind on me.

Actually just looking at the games and 6 of the 8 could feasibly draw 20,000. I don't think Parra v Cronulla or Melbourne v Manly will but otherwise there is a possibility. Warriors v Canberra the other one that's a bit iffy.

Will all the Swans members travel out to Homebush? It's not often they have AFL in Sydney on a Friday night, and given most members come from the North/Eastern Suburbs, I get the feeling they may be give it a miss. Roosters v Tigers is probably a match that would have some cross over of supporters, and I suspect easier for people who go for any of the teams (Swans/Tigers/Roosters) to get to, might choose the NRL over the AFL.

EDIT: Looking at the crowds at Stadium Australia, the Swans have had 4 of their lowest crowds at this venue in the last 3 years. Hopefully that continues.

if we get 20k and they get 30k NRL would be stoked

It is probably AFL's biggest game of year in sydney

True. If the swans get 30k, it is a woeful crowd.

 

[Red Bear]

lol

It's hardly freezing. Last saturday was genuinely cold. Otherwise it's been cool but nothing rugging up won't fix.

 

[CowboyFuriousFury]

True. If the swans get 30k, it is a woeful crowd.

That would then make the nrl crowd dreadful in comparison. To think 4th vs 5th, 2 Sydney teams cant reach 20k is disgraceful.

Bizarre things to say. Saying the NRL should be stoked about losing to afl in Sydney is ridiculous. And if the the Storm got 30k against an afl game in Melbourne, we would be saying its woeful?

 

[Perth Red]

Why? Because I prefer to not catch the flu from being in the cold after a long weeks work....I'd go reluctantly if Brisbane are playing but thats it.

The flu is a virus, you can't catch it from being in cool air!

The flu is a virus, you can't catch it from being in cool air!

Your immune system can be lowered by being cold making you more suseptible to contracting the virus.

Are you related to Bunniesman?

Between you, him & Oikee I imagine family dinners must be a real occasion.

If the Swans can only pull 30k against Hawthorn thats pathetic.

One of their fiercest rivals. Buddy factor, grand final factors.

rwb fact is two teams 4th vs 5th in heartland drawing a poor crowd is not on. fact

 

[Dogs Of War]

Just flicked over and looking at the Swans crowd (Does it kick off at 7:30pm?), they only have about 5K in attendance at the moment. If that was the case at a Dogs game, I would figure it would fill out to about 15K max.

certainly would be a lot of heads to feed.

 

[Titanic]

lol, Australians are such wimps.

So now Perth isn't in Australia?

 

[Dogs Of War]

Just looking at the Swans crowd again (channel 73), no more than 10K there at the moment. I think they will struggle to crack 20K at this rate.
