Crowd Watch 2014 part 3

[Puntastic]

We get 4 monday nights this year, all at home, the next closest clubs all get 2. Extremely frustrating when we've had such a successful recruitment drive this year too - both because of home games, but also viewership.

Edit 4 not 5

Plus the game in Bathurst means Penrith has seen 6 home games at reasonably timeslots.
Pretty disappointing given the exceptional work they did with membership. A watershed year and a lot of those members would be reconsidering the value.

Yeh, why did the TV execs make them move a game to Bathurst!

 

[DC_fan]

8,994 @ Penrith.

Considering the stormy weather the area had this afternoon and this evening that figure is not bad

Sad state of affairs when 3 v 7 in rd 24 gets 8k

None of which have 4 at home?

Viewership wise is shit though, if that's what you mean.

It was absolutely teeming at St Marys when I left to go to the game just after 6pm but not raining at the ground, although it had earlier. There was a line of hailstorms (red to black on the radar) from about 3pm from north of Windsor down to Campbelltown, but it largely missed Penrith. There was a huge one at Warragamba, about 15km from Penrith that seemed to just sit there for ages. I'm surprised the game got almost 9,000 to be honest.

Under 10k for a NRL game should never be considered "not bad". It's not Aleague for goodness sake.

:roll:What exactly were u expecting on a Monday night?

 

[Puntastic]

Agree, they should be spreading them out.

We talk about expanding the game but neglect helping the clubs that already exist grow, instead generally reinforcing the status quo.

Exposure suffers too: you cant command the same sponsorship deals when you're getting minimal exposure from shittier timeslots and you aren't boosting junior recruitment if families aren't getting to games and increasing brand recognition with that club's image.

OT, you also cant command as big sponsorship deals when you're getting 6(?) FTA games a year either, and i'm sure it has an impact on who kids/new fans support if they're options are limited.

 

[Perth Red]

Wouldn't expect more with where the game is currently at but that doesn't make it acceptable. Other codes handle week night games without such miserable turn outs. I do feel for panthers though, they have been screwed by TV this year.

Went to the Broncos on Saturday.

38 bucks for GA at the gate. No wonder they rarely sell-out.

the view from the GA seats at suncorp stadium is better than the view from the GA seats at anz stadium. in saying that though, 38 bucks is still alot for a GA seat...

Showed a Brisbane players attitude to Sydney crowds on Friday night, when corey norman was asked how awesome it was playing in front of big home crowd of 17,000...

He replied " it was good for a small crowd in a small stadium..."

I was checking the radar all day.

Around 4pm I decide f**k it, run up to K Mart to buy the boy a raincoat.

Leave Minto just before 5. Starts pissing down the whole trip until I get past Mulgoa Village.

Then not a single drop the whole f**king game. Listening to the radio just as the MMM guys are finished they say it is pissing down again.

Further to that 6.30 Sunday night is next we get.

Add the rain for Souths game. Terrible timeslot for Bulldogs, Dragons... Not playing Tigers at home and people wonder why our crowd is poor
