Crowd Watch 2014 part 3

[oldmancraigy]

Newcastle running dead last with Cronulla for parts of the year - 17k is outstanding in those circumstances. Now Bennett leaving, form still a concern - I'd cut them some slack.

Penrith, Manly, Roosters on the other hand...

Very weak for Manly + Roosters.


Penrith are having their 9th best crowd season ever. So let's cut them some slack? Sure, we might think it should be 15k+, but that's just not what they've accomplished over time.
They're only really 1-2 big crowds away from their best efforts since their last premiership era (2000-2005). They've improved on the last few years, what more could we want?

[pretty good reason NOT to build a whopping big stadium out there for them though]

Im guessing you werent at the game. Tigers outnumbered bulldogs 3:1
And given the way anz works with reciprical access it really wasnt a 'home' game.

did you even read what i said? "almost no tigers at the game"

so yes i was there and yes i know we were sparsely spread.

if you were at the eels vs tigers game (eels home game) you would have seen an easy 20k tigers fans there. So they exist, but they can be a bit band waggony...

 

[pHyR3]

Well that won't be one of the 'big ones' then will it!

I guess if Tiges are in contention it could get 18-20k?

around 18k if we are hovering around 8th and havent gotten poleaxed by any teams recently.

In that case you should be bagging Dogs fans for not turning up, not Tigers.

It was about 50/50 on Sunday. Just us Dogs fans didn't have a lot to cheer for.

Does anyone know if tigers anz members will get access to leichhardt for their game against the roosters.

 

[Perth Red]

like I keep saying most Sydney clubs have 11-14k fans willing to pay to watch them. Might go up or down slightly with form but generally this is the number. Accept this and you won't be disappointed at all the sub 15k crowds we see or when two sydney teams play in front of 20k or below.

The key for the NRL and clubs is how to grow this 11-14k to 18-20k. Then we will see far fewer sub 15k crowds, many more 25k+ crowds for all sydney games and break our 16k plateau the NRL has been on for years in terms of crowd avg.

 

[Valheru]

For those interested the last 5 crowds for Roosters Penrith at the SFS excluding the semi in 2010 were

2013 – 11176
2012 – 12746
2011 – 9713
2008 – 9724
2007 – 11326

2004 produced a crowd of 20,000

 

[Captain Apollo]

Round 26
Roosters v Souths (could be anything from a minor premiership battle, to a fight for top 4)

Problem is this game is on a Thursday night. Based on what happened in round 1 this year, you watch the crowds not be as big as expected.

27,282 in round 1.

That would hardly qualify as a 'problem' crowd IMO.

probably cost them 10k through the gate.

 

[RWB]

You obviously weren't on here during Round 1.

Problem is an understatement, it was a catastrophe. Almost had to call the 2014 season off the way some people carried on.

That's what they are telling us. Waiting on further information from the club though.

 

[Timmah]

27,282 in round 1.

Season opener, teams both top four from previous season including reigning premiers, last clash drew in 59k.

With proper context, 27k was a disappointing crowd, yes.

Dogs v Tigers yesterday would've been 50/50 or so, unless you ran the count at the 75th minute when half the Dogs fans had hit the carpark or train station.

re SCG were is best place to sit? Going to be in town for the Souths game there in a couple of weeks. Being an oval ground I'm not expecting much of a view but another ground to tick off the list.

Gee, all I can say is make sure your elevated. Probably the stand opp where the cameras (side of members stand) will be. Haven't been there for years. Victor Trumper stand sections 311-316 in my opinion but closer to railing at front of that stand.

 

[Perth Red]

cheers for the tip heritage

I was end on and elevated in 2010 v the dragons and it was a decent view. Possibly the Churchill stand but memory is foggy

Hasn't the Vic State Gov already paid the extra millions for the privilege?
