Crowd Watch 2014 part 3

[Kirky]

Why is everyone so obsessed on this forum with big crowds?

It's a crowd thread. If not crowds, what should we discuss in this crowd thread specifically created to discuss crowds?

By the by, there is no way in hell there were 12,000 at Robina on Sunday. That would imply the ground was ~45% full. It was nowhere near that.

Not sure about numbers but did see a good number of Dragons supporters up there.

LOL @ the Roosters crowd average this year being 13k.

How the f**k can crowd's go down after a team won a comp? I didn't think popularity could decline with success. East's fans for ya.

No Rd1 & Anzac day + 5 rain affected games to kick off the season will do it.

We'll come home strong though. Get our first arvo game this season in a few weeks time which should draw well weather permitting + Melbourne & Souffs to finish off the season.

Anything under 17-18k come end of the season though would be extremely disappointing.

So for the perfect storm for big crowd avg in the NRL what would the preferable top 8 teams given on field success plays a big part in larger crowds.

1 souths
2 bulldogs
3 knights
4 eels
5 warriors
6 storm
7 cowboys
8 st's

Reckon you'd go close to breaking the 17k avg threshold if all those clubs were doing well. Titans if their first 4 years were anything to go by could well be in there as well.

Perth Red....you would want Brisbane in there, probably ahead of the Cowboys...even at best they won't average 20K...Brisbane can average 30K in a good year (potentially more).

Tigers ahead of the Storm too, they produce bumper crowds when they are up and about.

Anyone have the latest PAX for the dead rubber in 2 weeks time?

Souths will never have to worry about a post-premiership dip, which is good I guess.

It's happened at Manly, Brisbane and Canberra in the last 20 years (not including Canterbury in 1996, which was SL affected), so it's nothing out of the ordinary.

The Broncos average more than 30k in a bad year.

If anything i think a few more lean years would be better for storm crowds. Constantly sitting at the top just hasn't shown as much growth for us as it should and in some ways i think it's because people expect success. There isn't as much hype and excitement when we finally get it.

Nice to have a full round for a change.

Manly 14k
Brisbane 28k
Wests 12k
Townsville 14k
NZ 17k
Parra 15k
St George 10k

So 3 in times n 20 years. And each of those 3 was much less than the Roosters decrease. Doing something that happens 3 times in 20 is out of the ordinary.

We don't. Their is seven games only. A full ruin would have eight.

He will become a crowd favourite at Henson Park.

No bandwagoners for fans I guess.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Seeing a fair few promotions for manly tickets... sales mustn't be too good...

I reckon we could easily go sub 15k

Seriously?

You'd love that!

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Anyone have the latest PAX for the dead rubber in 2 weeks time?

Origin 3 pax of yesterday: 50,422

Broncos pax of this morning: 28,200. I doubt the crowd will be over 25,000.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

You'd love that!

I just want game to fulfill potential

This game should be a 30k +

But we will accept a sold out brookie @ 15,500

As an awesome result

 

[BunniesMan]

15,500 is a below average crowd. It is not awesome under any circumstances. Especially for a team with Manly's success.
