Crowd Watch 2014

[H.H]

It was a pretty clear point. The reason you averaged nearly 20k is because you hosted 2 of the highest-drawing matches of the year. Your crowds are average without them. No other Sydney team got a huge rivalry to open the season nor did they get an ANZAC Day match.



Yes, their crowds without those matches averaged 15.5k. So average. In a year that they won the comp.

I guess that's why it's called an average...

Take the top drawing games out of any clubs aggregate and the average will suffer, Souffs drew 60k against us...Dogs 50k on Good Friday...the Storm should draw well on ANZAC day, Eels got over 40k in Hindy's last game, Warriors have some big crowds at Eden park.

Take them out and those clubs' averages will suffer too.

I actually do get your point, I just don't think it's a good one.

Thats a good reason not to turn up. It could have rained, gee i was lucky, i might have got wet.
Last time i didn't go because it was too dark out.

I think we're in for two poor crowds tonight...

I would expect around 30,000 at Alianz and 18,000 at the gong

I'm in Perth for the dogs game and what a sensational afternoon it is. Too bad the game wasn't on tonight the place would be absolutely jam packed

 

[LatK7]

Hill at the Gong looks terrible. Hmm...12k maybe?

Well their ain't 30,000 at the Roosters game

I wish it was on tonite aswell. It would be the only way to see live NRL into Perth tonite, Ch 9 helping to promote tmrws game has decided to put Ellen on instead. Can any body PM me about hoe I can see NRL tonite on tv?

Has built up a bit on the east side since kickoff. Haven't seen a good shot of the members side yet to judge. But if would guess 15-18k. Most likely our fans outside the east have stayed away with the threat of weather but their are not many manly fans by the looks of it. If they even brought 5k imagine the difference

Is there ever any promotion of fnf or mnf on the city? You would think some simple targeted marketing could boost crowds and particularly corporates/expensive seats.

yeh was thinking the same. With three hours time difference wouldn;t have worked for TV though, stupid WA and its lack of daylight saving!

Tomorrow should be ok though as long as showers stay off which they usually do here.

 

[Sydney Knight]

Crowd not awesome but to be honest expected worse. In Ncle tonight and its pouring. Hopefully rain should be gone by Sunday.

Hopefully it will look like this come 4:30pm tomorrow!

I would have to agree with you

From the open training session yesterday. Conditions today exactly the same maybe a couple of degrees warmer. Great ground to watch footy can't wait for my 50m seats tomorrow arvo :crazy:

 

[CC_Roosters]

Members looks good but patchy in lower tier. Will say 18k+

 

[elbusto]

Well whatever the crowd size is , there is a good atmosphere watching it on telly, and given the shite weather, the roll up looks fine. If it had have been a better couple of days this game could have got 10000 more. That is just how it is.

According to Ray Warren the crowd was 14,000 odd.

I know Ray said its on par with Sea Eagles v Roosters games at Alianz but for mine it was a pretty poor crowd.
