Crowd Watch 2014

[georgesnmith]

I'll give you another reason for the shit crowd. $30 GA and $70 for cat 1.

A few years ago we were paying that to go to the GF.

The NRL will never get a good crowd in for a regular season game with ticket prices like that.

didnt know it was that much for category 1 tickets, ouch.

 

[georgesnmith]

Brisbane is $79 for cat 1 and $33 for cheapest category white GA.

Has been around these prices for years.

brisbane has how many other rugby league clubs to share the city with?

8pm start, Thursday night

And 10k less to the corresponding fixture from last year. No excuses for you scabs not to crack 50k with your so called 'biggest NRL fan base' and 'this is our year'

:lol:

What it shows is how many Souffs fans didn't give their team a chance in round 1. They'll fill the house next home game. Kind of like a reverse to round 26 last year when you all thought you would win the MP, lost, then didn't bother turning up to Melbourne :lol: myth fans

LJC - Thursday nights are anomaly, not a regular occurence. We don't see TNF again til Round 23 I think.

Monday nights I agree but with TV that's how it goes.

I don't think the NRL has looked smartly at Sunday night football being a replacement for Monday night football. Instead the programmers decided to take away a Sunday arvo game for Sunday night!

Amazing lack of imagination. The Saturday afternoon timeslot is the only progressive move the administrators have made in recent years.

Monday night can be replaced by Sunday night.

I recall back in the days when Rex Mossop used to commentate that Sunday night football was very popular. This is what should be happening. Putting the fans and clubs through the ordeal of a Monday night fixture is not good for the game. The TV revenue can be made up with Sunday night football!

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Do you honestly think more Easts fans showed up to this game than Souths fans did last year?

Easily. Easily more Easts fans there last. You weren't even there lol so shut the f**k up. Even Ray Warren said on fine broadcast there were more Easts fans.

Souffs fans have never outnumbered us at our home ground.

Nothing to do with the NRL - that's your club.

$45 cat 1 for the Dogs game tonight - 30 for Cat 2 and 25 for GA.

No I meant away Easts fans this week compared to away Souths fans rd 1 last year.

We did more to boost your round 1 crowd in 2013 than you did to boost our crowd this time.

 

[georgesnmith]

if the chooks keep playing like they did last night it will be interesting to see if their fans who watched them win the NRL last year still show up for games or just desert them as fast as they came

It's not the NRL. It's not the clubs. It's ANZ.

And obviously there'll be different pricing in a rivalry game compared to an out of town team visiting.

That's actually a club request dude, early in the season to avoid heat stress. Three rounds.

The 2pm game returns from Round 4, with Sunday nights taking a rest again til at least R21.

Utter tripe, our game against Parra is at exactly the same pricing.

 

[Timmah]

We did more to boost your round 1 crowd in 2013 than you did to boost our crowd this time.

Going out on a limb here to suggest that's because Allianz is actually WALKING DISTANCE from both your ACTUAL regions, while your club continues to play 15km west of its primary fanbase?

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Your club claims the most fans in the game, slaps caps on the homeless and calls them Members so why do you need us to boost your crowd? You suffered a 30k drop between round 26, 2013 and round 1, 2014 :lol: but tbh you suffered that same drop in the space of a week last year too.

What were the TV ratings like last night? Are they available?

Seriously, every bloody person I spoke to today watched. Souths, Easts and neutral and non-RL people.

Wasn't shown in Melbourne, Perth or Adeliade so falls down the rankings a bit but was number 1 in Sydney & Brisbane.

It was shown in all other capital cities on GEM - the ratings are on twitter and I cannot use them as a source because of that

 

[Perth Red]

GEM at 4:30pm with absolutely zero promotion that NRL started last night by Ch9 in WA, I doubt they were much!

 

[BunniesMan]

If everybody with a TV in Perth watched it would be like 60k.

Apparently 11k watched in Perth.

The game was 100k less than the same game last year. I think that 100k was pure SBW novelty factor by 15 year old girls. Those bandwagoners have already bought their All Blacks jerseys.

 

[dogslife]

If every one of South's members actually existed the crowd would've been higher too

 

[BunniesMan]

Members and crowds are two different things.
