crowd watch 2014 part IV

[AlwaysGreen]

Thank God it wasn't a Panthers v sea slug final. The crowd would be minus 15000.

NRL taking advantage of Roosters & Rabbitohs fans by charging CAT 2 prices for bays 30 & 40.

$60 to sit behind the dead ball line is ridiculous. The same bays in Manly & Penrith seating territory are $25.

Typical Greenberg. Those are not CAT 2 bays under any circumstances and charging $60 for those seats is just going to leave a sour taste in fans mouths if they haven't yet realised how badly they've been ripped off.

Great for customer relations I'm sure...

What shits me is they call it the 1st qualifying final but it is played after the 2nd one.

 

[Timmah]

Why does it shit you? Match "numbers" 1st/2nd etc are issued based on position, not scheduling...

Cowboys v Broncos has sold 16,509 so far - https://twitter.com/nthqldcowboys/status/509242887477792768

Well it's a stupid system. The AFL does it too and they do it wrong as well. Names and titles should not be needlessly misleading and this misleads. It's not the end of the world but just because something is minor doesn't mean it can't be fixed.

Think of 1st final as a trademark

Like subway foot long

18,000 Manly/Penrith supporters is about all these clubs can get to any given game because that's all they have. If they had more then Brookie/Penrith Stadium would be packed to capacity every week.

Rugby League games are scheduled at times dictated by TV networks. Penrith, and no doubt Manly and everyone else, have far more supporters than can fit into a suburban ground, but the vast majority don't go to games, they watch the games on TV. That's why the NRL were handed a cool billion. Hence the majority are catered for with scheduling times at the expense of the minority who attend games.

It seems there's trackwork on this weekend, so its going to be a parking shitfight to get to the game. The members ticket prices are quite reasonable, but getting there and back is a major headache. Moore Park is such a dump. So I have decided to watch on TV and get to see the Townsville match as well as a bonus. If our next match is at ANZ maybe we'll attend that.

In short if it requires any effort to watch your team play you can't be stuffed.

And the trackwork is only Penrith to Blacktown for Christ sake. An express bus will almost take the same time as the train would've.

If it took u more than 1 hour to get there I'd be surprised

Imagine 10k panthers fans went to game.

Would really lift the players. And may help them win

But screw it stay at home

Maybe that's true, maybe not that's all debatable but the fact of the matter is those 2 clubs don't have 30K ACTIVE supporters who could turn out to a game at any given times like the Tigers, Bulldogs, Dragons or Rabbitohs.

Typical!!! Souths always get done like that with ticket prices and so do the Bulldogs.

I've already got my seats thanks, I'm not going to get fooled by it but someone who rarely buys tickets to the football and thinks CAT2 & $60 gets you a good seat at a game that will be in for a rude shock.

No other organisation would show such disregard to their customers, it's amazing that we still do.

Lodge a complaint with the NRL via their website and tell them you will not be attending the game. I sent them a quick email just for a laugh ofcourse when they banned the shoulder charge to express my discontent at the direction the game was heading in and to my surprise I got this long reply stating that it's all about player welfare now bla bla bla.

It was surprising actually. Complain and they will listen.

Storm/Dogs pax currently at 12,322. So I'd guess total crowd will end up around the 20k mark. Might get a few more Storm fans in if they realise there any further finals will be played in Sydney.
