crowd watch 2014 part IV

[Bumble]

i'm just curious, how long did the travel take you, one way??? i travelled from the campbelltown area and its quite easy to get to anz stadium from there, by train

Getting there was super easy last night because they run trains directly from Central, so Mascot Station to ANZ was only about 35 minutes all up. Getting home was a bit of a pain as it took 30 minutes plus to get on a train, then a 20 minute wait at Central!

Usually it takes about 1.25 hours - Mascot to Central, non-express to Lidcombe, Lidcombe to Olympic Park. With no wait between transfers it's a little less.

I'll predict 716k in sydney.

835k. http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2014/09/friday-26-september-2014.html

Was a joke last night at strathfield for the newcastle line train. It was late, had a very late change in platforms, the doors would not open and there was no train until 11pm. Tonnes of people waited for it for ages. Knowing it was a major event night and strathfield being the rail hub to which the olympic express was stopping at then an extra train to newcastle should have been put on at 11.30.

Easily my worst travel experience on a footy night.

humongous!

835k is absolutely massive!

 

[insert.pause]

another 178k on digital channels, including 105k mel and 53k perth

add regionals and it could crack 2m!

Wow that is huge. Out of interest what does a typical GF rate in Sydney for comparison.

Codeincrisis indeed lol

It does raise one question though. That massive ratings number in Sydney shows there was huge interest in the game so why more didn't get out to the ground is a mystery. Fairly priced for a preliminary final Imo so what's doing?!

Any pax updates for tonight?

Out of this world figures!!!! Good to see a fair few watching on the secondary channel in Melb as well.

So just on 1.4 million without the regionals? That is awesome.

I didn't think our turnout was as bad as some are saying, but we were definitely outnumbered.

I work with a bloke who is part of a group of 18 chook pen members who go to every home game, but last night every single one of them were no shows. Sums our fans up at times...we do exist and in reasonable numbers, but f**k me we can be apathetic at times.

Pisses me off, but what can you do. I was there and will continue to support them no matter what.

 

[insert.pause]

PF1 last year had 1.188 2 city metro so its probably only up a little bit there, not sure how it rated in mel last year but I think that's probably where the best growth will be. If regionals hold up with last year on 639k it will crack total of 2m.

I wonder how many Penny and Bulldogs fans watched the game at home last night and thought:'I wanna be at the game tomorrow night and experience what the souths fans did'.

So there are people who can't go to a social event without guzzling beer. Maybe you should try having a night or two off the piss.

Funny thing is that don't even have to have an entire night off from drinking full strength.

Just a few hours.

Pretty embarrassing that the swans got a bigger prelim crowd

Another 'quality' post.

Phil Rothfield would be proud of the level of accuracy in your statement.

Ignore him, he's a QLDer

Funny thing is you might want to drink full strength beer but you are banned from doing so by a bunch of do gooders.

The atmosphere at home on telly was great. Crowd was good. Ratings were outrageous. Overall a bloody good result.

Looks pretty underwhelming here so far
