Crowd Watch 2014

[tumbidragon]

be funny if sunday's crowd beats both tonights and last nights crowd given the expected form of tigers and dragons this year

Expecting a similar crowd to tonight on Sun. Only 10K tickets sold as of 2 days ago.

Don't know who's genius idea it was to not have the Broncs V Cows at Suncorp Rnd1... Really dropped the ball there.

Stadium availability.

Although they probably could have played it on a different day.

Stadium availability.

Although they probably could have played it on a different day.

In all honesty Broncos v Cowboys ticket sales are fairly slow... I am worried.

The AFL starts next week, so absolutely crazy not to have a Storm home game this Saturday night.
Going to be nice and warm - would have drawn 20K+

 

[Cumberland Throw]

On a positive note there is talk of 15k + for sat arvo football at penrith

 

[BranVan3000]

Because you claimed you have 27k that turn up week in, week out.

You don't.

You have 18k that do. Which is great. But you don't have 27k turning up to every game. Not even close

Do you understand what an average is?

 

[Saint Doc]

Do you understand what an average is?

Yes. Happy it explain it to you any time.

In short, try this.

On the 3rd of February, John Citizen ate a hotdog.

On the 24th of February, John entered a hotdog eating competition, and ate 27.

On average, he ate one hotdog a day for the month.

However, he does not eat one hotdog everyday. In fact he rarely eats them.

Do you understand now the difference between an "average" and what actually happens?

The turnout for these first two games at ANZ have been atrocious. The NRL need to face facts that the fans hate that f**king stadium, or more specifically, the monumental effort required to actually get there.

They tried to do the BENJI BARBA return to Dogs home ground thing.... didn't work.

It's a shame that it didn't, because Barba showed up the Dogs almost single handedly.

 

[Brutus]

So Broncos v Bulldogs attracted the same as the rugby union Origin equivalent.

 

[Usain Bolt]

Poor crowds, kinda expected though. TV experience is too good these days, every sport is trying to find ways to get bums on seats.

 

[Perth Red]

Nothing like an empty stadium to give a vibrant look to the start of the season. f**k ANZ off for Christ's sake NRL!

 

[Card Shark]

Stadium availability.

No they couldn't.....it's the broncos we are talking about here ya know!

 

[bobmar28]

18k. That is a pathetic crowd.

 

[Dragons01]

As a Dragons supporter I won't comment until we get past tomorrow's game. The NRL will be praying like mad that the weather holds out until about 5pm tomorrow afternoon or it could be another terrible crowd number.

This is, quite possibly, the most depressing thread of all time.

 

[CC_Roosters]

Mistake #1- too many game in sydney on one weekend. seriously what were they thinking! for neutrals interested in going to a game, the pool has been divided in 7 were 4 games would have been more appropriate.

Mistake #2- wrong ground wrong night for those 2 teams on thursday.

Mistake #3- Thursday and even friday night kickoff after 8pm is ridiculous. Thursday in particular would have turned families off a fixture which imo is normally very well attended by families.

I now expect the whole round to be thoroughly embarrassing. Sunday at ANZ will probably be 20k if we are lucky. Cronulla v gold coast to cap it off on MNF thats asking for trouble, lucky if that draws 8k and if it rains 5k is more likely!

Haven't been to the Dragons forum in a bit then lol.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

The NRL is in a shit position

Imagine if the first two games were at Redfern oval and Belmore

The headlines would read

NRL is off to fantastic start with 2 sold out games

Interest is at an all time high in NRL 14 with crowd averages of over 22,000

Up almost 5k per game on last years average

Whilst TV figures have also been very strong

The greatest game of all is going from strength to strength

Broncos play on a different day.

You're kidding yourself

 

[Canard]

How's this for a left field idea? the Broncos as the stadiums main tenants, arrange to have it as available?

As far as I know there wasn't anything on there last night anyway?
