Crowd Watch, Part III

[Perth Red]

Other codes don't have to worry about sub 20k crowds played in semi pro stadiums for finals.

 

[Perth Red]

32,747 crowd

 

[tumbidragon]

37k to double header... Good move NRL you gimps!

*Edit - Was it 32K? Must of had to many beers lol

 

[SaraSassypants]

32,747 crowd

Probably 20k Roosters and Manly 12k Sharks and Cowboys

 

[BuffaloRules]

How can the 2 games not sell out a 40k stadium?

 

[Perth Red]

That's Sydney RL for you.

Your point is? I would argue that a sold out game at shark park is a better look than a double header at allianz that isn't even close to selling out. You said we should be making ourselves look like a major code, how the hell does a double header do that?

32,747 crowd

Doubt it's much more than we would have got for a standalone manly v roosters game. Dumb decision and this only cements it.

Thankfully the crowd has been noisy and the games quality.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

12000 empty seats

Good call tod

[Cumberland Throw]

Takes 30sec to work crowd out mate


Maybe marketing money does = bums on seats

 

[Sydney Knight]

Yvonne Sampson >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Daylight >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Erin Molan

yvonne Sampson is great. Comes across very natural. Should take on the anchor role for the 9 coverage full time

Swans tickets a lot more expensive as well.

Don't blame the NRL blame the fans who can't be arsed to turn out to a finals game. 3 clubs avg 10k fans each turning up. Guess its easier to blame the NRL, prices, weather, KO times or any other lame excuse you want to find.

Dockers are expecting to be sold out in one day, 43,000 tickets for one club in a city less than half the size of Sydney.

 

[hutch]

Swans tickets a lot more expensive as well.

They give thousands of freebies out as well!

 

[Cumberland Throw]

What's blaming the customers going to do ?

It's like Nokia saying " you are all idiots our phones are awesome "

 

[Stagger Lee]

Sharks should have been playing at home - Todd Derpberg needs to be sacked

 

[the dude]

We'll never compare to the AFL in Sydney, end of.

Only 12-13 games of AFL are played in Sydney each year.. Well, crap I guess you can say there's 24 with that gimp of a western sydney side.

Compared to how many NRL games? We're spoiled for choice.

Still, the crowds were crap. Manly vs Sharks is a worry

 

[Springs]

Terrible crowds this week

 

[Miller was a legend]

Terrible crowds this week

Just make it a double header! Fixed
