Crowd Watch 2014

[hineyrulz]

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

Can you blame them??? :lol: 20k with 30 world famous spiffing Wannabes on show, Izzy Falonk the saviour of Australian rugby :lol:


NSW just love their Ruggers :lol:

It's either that or they get out there IRB calculators

Well seeing as the NRL has decided to kill a developing tradition by not playing Cowboys at Broncos in Round 1, they have shunned having a 45K+ crowd to open Round 1 and kick the season off with a bang.

Sometimes you have to scratch your head at the decision making in our game, at every level (clubs included)

 

[beave]

Agreed, but I think the stadium is booked out next week for the other codes, i think they got in early with their draw. Still, the NRL should be telling suncorp stadium, first weekend in march, we want the joint for Friday night (cows v broncs) for the next 10 years. I think their lack of emphasis that this game should be the opener for QLD is f**king stupid.

 

[Raiderdave]

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.

they'd compare to the Roosters best crowds over the last 20 years when considering they have a larger stadium ( nearly double the size) & are surrounded by the rest of Sydney
and yet the roosters STILL have never sold out Allianz ever for any game they've played there ? :lol:

we know many roosters crowds are boosted when they play the big Sydney sides at home
often 33/66%
the Raiders don't have that luxury

a bit of perspective would go a long way for you ;-)

 

[Raiderdave]

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

happy for Manly to include their big 15K finals crowds at Brookie :lol:

or even their 13 & 14K finals crowds at the SFS
:lol::lol:

well we should be having a guaranteed 45K plus crowd in rnd 1 anyway
at ANZ this Thursday

but alas its in Sydney
& involves the Roosters .... a bridge too far when considering that eh :?

I heard it was around 18K



considering they were hoping for 40K plus
that's a disaster :lol:

I saw the first few minutes
& that Greg Clark bloke opened with this classic

132 of History between these 2 sides
one of the biggest rivalries in Australian sport

" perhaps ..... the biggest !!"

:sarcasm:
:lol::lol:

 

[DC_fan]

Can the games this weekend pull bigger crowds then they did last year?

Rabbitohs v Roosters 59,708
Bulldogs v Broncos 11,344
Panthers v Knights 10,240
Sea Eagles v Storm 17,179
Cowboys v Raiders 13,240
Dragons v Tigers 15,016
Eels v Warriors 13,351
Sharks v Titans 17,541

Once is an excusable mistake, twice is incompetent.

There seems to be no issues lining the pockets of the AFL owned ANZ, why not other stadiums.

 

[Rooster Cogburn.]

Is there a more benign club in the NRL than Canberra?

 

[parraparraparra]

I don't understand. NRL needs big broncos crowds. So why no broncos v cows in r1

The NRL will still get 12 home Broncos crowds every year to help the average. Who would show up to a round 1 Broncos v Cowboys but not any later in the year?

The AFL does not own ANZ stadium, their chairman is on the board of the trust I think

I think the point is most codes like to open with a bang, scheduling your biggest games to open the season generates good media about record breaking crowds. That and fans are hungry for action and make an effort to get to opening games. Same games rd 12 or 20 don't have the same hype about them. Still NRL are the ones saying they will grow crowds to a 20k avg so I guess they know what they are doing?

But why not continue a developing tradition and start the season of with a blockbuster crowd like they did for 7 or so years, also getting a game that would rate its arse off on TV.

If we had 35k on Thu night in Sydney and 50 the next in Brisbane, what a great way to kick off 2014 (or any year).

Just seems poorly planned.

I'm not sure how a larger stadium would help, it might have some relevance if those top 10 crowds were all sell outs but they're not.

And the Roosters sold out Allianz Stadium this year, shame you missed that game.

I'll include the top ten crowd list from Brookvale Oval that has higher numbers than the Canberra Raiders. ;-) Our crowds are absolutely shithouse. A bit like Canberra I guess.

Oh my god, I just had to delete your smilies because you had already reached the limit. I enjoy the annual psychotic episodes you give us.

Raiderdave does this every year without fail. He doesn't rely on facts or common sense but he is worth a good chuckle.
