Crowd Watch 2014

But you're a RL troll. You don't even like the game
.

Why is it that when someone around here is honest about RL's shortcomings they are considered a 'troll'? It's a pretty weak argument.

Ahh....let's just say I am not basing my assumption on just one post. Let's try a couple of years worth.

BTW Samantha, how did the soccer go tonight??? Good game?

Sounded good from online reports. Was watching Souths though.

Oh and thanks for proving my point again.

Solid crowd at the SCG...but it looked terrible on the screen. Shame they can't move some to the TV side...opposite side was packed.

 

[SaraSassypants]

Worst looking 24k ever

Why not at least fill up o Reilly stand

It has about 1000 in it

WTF you on about. I was there and it was a great crowd. Are you basing your opinion on one angle on the TV? The SCG is circular with the crowds filling the ends mostly. SCG Members down the North end and GA for Souths and Dragons members in the opposite corners of the South end.

Or, more easily, just move the broadcast cameras to the O'Reilly Stand and film from that end.

Either way. It's just not a good look the way it was.

Wow I kind of feel embarrassed watching this

Feel sorry for all the old guys watching all the empty seats

Cracker crowd lol

Houston we have a problem

When you're getting crowds like that at the SCG for a Heritage round, you know you have big problems.

24,368


:lol::lol:

and people bag ANZ stadium. i was in very good cat 1 seats and the view is crap.

great the game abandoned that ground.

and its so ancient as well, hard to walk up 5 flights of steep stairs and one crappy shop offering hardly any food.

i was at the ground seeing it quite full and reading the comments about people saying it was a bad crowd... got to say it was really funny reading that pre kick off thanks guys

he was probably watching holden cup and thought that was first grade.

24.5k is pretty good for a Saturday night with some dark clouds looming around.

Here's the list of the St George Illawarra Dragons home games against South Sydney in the past;

Looks like a well justified decision to me. I think this game at this venue has the potential to become a regular season blockbuster as well, no reason why it shouldn't be built up as an old boys day for both clubs who have rich histories in the game. Sure round stadiums don't provide the best viewing angles but it's a one off game and with the history that's behind the SCG it makes it that little bit more special than just your ordinary club game. These are the types of games clubs & the NRL need to start building up. No reason why this game couldn't be getting 40k on a regular basis if they continue to build it up for the next few years.

Excellent crowd at the SCG. I wish we got to host that every 2nd year.

As for the ANZ/SFS debate. Please, on location alone ANZ shits on SFS. People talk about the advantages Melbourne has with stadiums in a central location, well ANZ is more central than SFS.

Souths wouldn't survive if we solely existed on members in the inner south. We needed to get members and crowds from all over Sydney and we've successfully done that. Last year we topped all Sydney teams for crowds. So to suggest ANZ isn't working is either a lie or just pure ignorance.

the more clubs that play at ANZ the better. if we want bigger crowds thats the way to go though as another poster said the odd heritage game at the SCG is fine

plus with ANZ giving clubs guaranteed income plus extra money if crowds break 20k its a no brainer.

also the fact im an anz stadium member is good for me, i can watch more teams

lol

Welcome troll, i am a troll too apparently. Your better off telling lies and be everyone's friend.
:crazy:

How was the empty seats at the SCG, gee this is a bad look for the game.
Our two heritage teams look like nobody cares.
Then the refs spoiled the contest, nice work dumbarse NRL.

Central to what? I regularly host events at ANZ and the main gripe is how shit it is to get to (except for the people who live within 10ks)

it is central compared to the rest of sydney.

and not too hard to get to by train. other than the CBD, where else comes close in terms of centrality?

sure if your from cronulla its far but cronulla is out on the southern fringe of sydney anyway, its near nowhere.
