Crowd Watch 2014

[parraparraparra]

Thursdays sacrifice crowds for tv ratings

 

[tumbidragon]

Exactly, I mean the game kicks off at 8.05pm on a Thurs ffs! That's prob a 11-12am home time on a school night for attendees... By the tattooed balls of THEDuges NEIN shits me! The ultimate crowd killers. But I guess healthy crowds aren't in NEINs best interests.

 

[LatK7]

30k would be extremely disappointing. Come on people!

 

[Raiderdave]

Are you going?

I live 300ks away & don't follow either side

sadly
they'll be RL fans in Sydney including even some Roosters & Souths fans who live only 3k's away
& they won't go:sarcasm:
This being the Sydney way :?

 

[Billythekid]

Are you going?

Raiders fans don't go to games.

Yeah cause a game between the roosters and souths when they're possibly the best 2 teams in the comp should be relying on raiders fans to boost the crowd.

 

[Raiderdave]

Raiders fans don't go to games.

well we turn up when we play our bitches


your mob ;-)

36K didn't have an issue with it last year though :sarcasm:
I mean they're expecting 80K on a Thursday night for an AFL game in
rnd 2 at the MCG
I'd imagine they'd be plenty of kids needing to go to school the following day there too

I've never seen a mob so quick to but but but their way out of attending something as Sydneysiders :?

Raiders had the lowest average crowd last year and the lowest maximum crowd, couldn't even beat the team with 2 successive wooden spoons. And Souths and Roosters averages was double the Raiders

thanks for the history lesson
do ya think both the Roosters & Souths being in the top 4 all year might of helped their average

just a thought :sarcasm:

 

[Perth Red]

It's a good sign when we are complaining of an NRL game "only" drawing 30k!
Hopefully one day we will get a Sydney game of the week scheduled for a Friday night at anz, included in both clubs memberships, massive marketing and hype all week for the game and plenty of pre and post game activities for families and adults both. Make it the must do event in Sydney on a Friday night for locals and tourists. Give out a few thousand free tickets to schools in the region of the teams playing etc.
Would be great to one day see another successful team in Brisbane as well so both Friday night games were 30k plus crowds every week.

 

[insert.pause]

The ABC is the best friend AFL ever has had.

its an AAP article.

Yeh that bumper crowd of 12,000 for your first home game of the season against the Dragons :lol:

 

[TheDalek079]

Raiders must dream about getting 30k crowds

 

[parraparraparra]

I'm concerned other this members not translatin to crowds. Why can't we get bigger crowd it's so frustrating.

 

[Raiderdave]

Raiders must dream about getting 30k crowds

:sarcasm:

:lol:

wow Einstein
we don't have a venue that holds 30K ... but lets not let little details like that get in the way of your stupidity eh :lol:

Raiders 10 biggest crowds
for a city less then a 10th of the size of Sydney

26,476 2010
25,253 1994
24,804 1993
24,781 1995
24,490 2012
24,460 1991
23,775 1995
23,603 2000
23,252 1991
22,892 1994


the last 2 finals in Canberra sold out in a day & a half
meanwhile in Sydney a finals double header fails to go near selling out in moderately sized venue in Allianz & another one involving souths & their 3 million members was smaller then all of the above crowds

lectures from dopey hypocrites
they're hilarious :lol:

 

[Paullyboy]

So do the ABC run an article about the crap crowd for the union tonight? Or is it just league who has to constantly justify the crowd for every match once again?

I've been living abroad for the last 2 years and you never once hear about crowd figures for any sport quite like the obsession the Australian media has with rugby league crowds for some reason.

 

[RWB]

Three's nothing to report because when pressed about their crowd figure last weekend they said;

NSW officials said they weren't in a position to provide an official figure on game-days, but the broadcasters floated a figure around the 16,000 mark.

Are those numbers spanning over 20 years supposed to be impressive or something? Tell us more about how everyone rallies for the Dragons clash.

A bit of humility would go a long way for you.

 

[t-ba]

He's included a semi-final crowd in there...lulz.

 

[Brutus]

NSW union is too scared to release crowd figures these days it seems.
