Crowd Watch Mk III

[SLRBRONCOS]

Parra v Cowboys prelim final got around 43k as well at ANZ Stadium.

Play Manly v Broncos at ANZ Stadium on a Sunday (a fine one ) and you'd get around the 40k mark.

The 40k STG v MELB was also good. Cant remember which night it was though.

That is what you said about the broncos bay last week, but the Manly supporters outnumbered the Donkeys 7 to 1.

You have no f**ken idea what you are talking about.

Broncos had way less bays available then the Manly dickheads. Fu*k you are so dumb.
Broncos were selling the bays they had available just as quick as manly. Manly obviously had more. Your love of your poorly supported club is blinding you.

Manly's cat 1 and cat 2 were a lot bigger then the Broncos.

Enjoy the off-season :lol:

We need 81403 people to the grand final to equal last years finals series total crowds (if my calculations are correct), which will probably happen. However we need 92001 to beat the 2009 finals series crowds (which can't happen). Barring a complete disaster we should beat every other finals series total under the McIntyre system since 1999.

Our crowds over the weekend cost us a shot at the record, with the week 3 totals this year being just over 60k, when last year and the year before they cracked over 100k (102 in 2009 and 115 last year).

NRL grand final a sell-out

September 28, 2011 - 10:44AM

AAP
Sunday's NRL grand final between Manly and the Warriors is officially a sell-out.

Remaining tickets to the decider at ANZ Stadium were snapped up on Wednesday morning, the league said.

A crowd of more than 80,000 is expected to watch the first grand final to be fought between the clubs.

So many grand final tickets available on eBay.
350 Listings, most of them 4-10 tickets.

:lol: I love when people generalise like this to make something look bad.

Just check then. 286 listings for nrl grand final tickets, about 10 of them were Footy Show listings. Average tickets was somewhere between 2 to 5.

Realistically we're looking at less than 1,000 tickets, if that.

In summary - GET OVER IT. THE BRONCOS ARE OUT. Stop trying to make something look bad because it doesn't involve your precious club.

HALF the clubs in the NRL lose money every time they open their gates.

official NRL figures show eight teams would be better off financially playing behind closed doors with only television cameras present, with ground hire, wages and other expenses outstripping gate receipts.

That's simply unacceptable. Some people patted themselves on the back after this seasons crowds, they are nowhere near good enough if 8 out of 16 teams lose money by opening the gate.

The business plan is broken and needs to change.

Souths would lose money if they weren't playing at ANZ. Their attendances this year were exceptionally poor.

It's not to do with crowds, it fees etc eg Lecihhardt can sell out and only just break even (maybe small profit)

This isn't about Souths. This is about the entire comp failing at making money from crowds.

Crowds not being as high as they need to be is part of the problem, not the entire problem, but part of the problem. That's why I said the entire business plan when it comes to marketing, hosting and profiting from crowds needs to be reviewed.

That covers everything including building an attendance culture that the EPL, NFL and AFL among others have built. Last time I checked the people of NSW and Queensland did not evolve down a different evolutional branch from our cousins in England, the US, Victoria, SA and WA. We have the same ability to get off our arses and get down to a game. That ability has to be maximised by the NRL.

As well as an attendance culture we need to look at making deals with stadiums and governments that benefit us more.

There is no simple solution, it has to be a boots and all approach taken by the people with power in this game. I'm not holding my breath under the current regime, but hopefully this can be one of the things the IC works on.

The potential of crowds to help fund Rugby League has been ignored for way too long. Every extra dollar we make (or not lose as the case may be) from crowds is a dollar we don't have to get from variables out of our control, like pokies and tv contracts.

My intentions weren't anything like this. The majority of them when i were there were selling for hundreds so the demand is there.

Obviously some people are selling they're tickets if they dont want to attend.

Im still attending. And at the moment there is 305 listings.
