Crowd Watch 2014 part 3

[ouwet]

Crowd at the Gold Coast looks deadset about 5k... I'd suspect they'll announce 11-13k

 

[RWB]

2.5k on the Gold Coast?

 

[seanoff]

Not so many on the coast. Quite sparse on the commentary side. Not overly crowded elsewhere either. Most of the crowd along the far sideline. They will announce some number that bears no resemblance to the actual number there.

Someone better give me a good reason why the NRL in their wisdom goes 1 on 1 against the GC Suns! Could have played this game any other time, heck even Sunday afternoon!

They are in a bind because the AFL team draws 3k and posts 20k and then people like buzz talk about how AFL is outdrawimg the Titans without ever questionIng the AFL crowds.

Suns play on Sunday afternoon.

How many times does it need to be pointed out on the thread that the NRL don't choose the timeslots? Nine and Fox do.

 

[RWB]

Gold Coast are playing tomorrow anyway.

Not that hard to find fixtures online these days... whilst we're on the topic of wisdom.

 

[Red Bear]

10500 at GC.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Nice round number

 

[DC_fan]

Ordinary crowd at Suncorp Stadium for the Union test with plenty of empty seats. A ton of empty seats at Spotless Stadium for the Giants v Bombers game.

The Dragons game at Wollongong obviously won't be bigger then the Union test, but it will be bigger then the AFL.

 

[DC_fan]

10500 at GC.

You left the seven of the end, it was 10,507.

 

[Western_Eel]

If you switch over to channel 504 you will see there is a great crowd at the GWS game

 

[Suitman]

3-4000 at most but will be announced as 12000.

Suity

 

[Jason Maher]

10.5k at Robina? Yeah... nah.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

20,000 plus at NIB.

The NRL surely can't ignore this.

 

[Jason Maher]

They've ignored sellouts on the Central Coast for many years So I'd say yes, the NRL certainly are capable of ignoring this.

Or perhaps they're intelligent and realize NSW doesn't need another team.

 

[pHyR3]

and seen the recently poor crowds at gosford... only poor one at perth was this year in absolutely torrential rain. and from memory they still put up 12k

12,079 at the 'gong tonight
