Crowd Watch, Part III

[RWB]

Fair play to Manly fans on Saturday, there weren't huge numbers but they made a lot of noise. I can't remember any away supporter group coming to the SFS this season and making as much, consistent noise as they did.

Both sets of supporters trying to drown each other out created an awesome atmosphere.

You mustn't have gone to Round 1.

 

[BranVan3000]

You mustn't have gone to Round 1.

To be fair, the Roosters fans were kept pretty quiet in that game

 

[RWB]

You mustn't have gone to Round 1.

Nah I was there, I'm guessing you must have been there on Saturday night then?

See any of the first game?

Pass mark yeah, but still not what it should be.

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect that the two clubs with the highest membership and crowd average in Sydney should be drawing 25'000+ to home finals.

Newcastle is now in Sydney? :crazy:

LOL Timmah bagging Souths crowd, then excusing Bulldogs crowd....


Classic stuff champ.

As a Manly fan, I am in no position to crap on anyone's crowd, but Timmah, mate, please....

Please enlighten me as to how 21k is more than 23k.

Happy to hear it.

It was your home game

 

[Card Shark]

It was your home game

Well sort of. We enjoyed using our home away from home.

Will help for this week.

Thanks for opening your home to us with such open arms.

Happy to put my nuts on the line that Newcastle brought more than 2k more than Melbourne to the game mate.

Dogs and Souths pulled very similar numbers.

You sh*t on Souths numbers......

Huh? I'm referring to you mob and Souths.

Do you think it's unreasonable to expect that the Bulldogs and South Sydney draw 25000+ to home finals?

No. I went to the match on Friday. Why would I go see two teams I dislike?

You just seemed to be making the point that I wasn't in a position to make that comment because I 'must have not gone to the Round 1 game'.

A fair premise but ironic given I attended both games and you did not.

Contrary to popular belief amongst Souths fans, they aren't the best at everything...

Souths Friday, Easts Saturday so the semi winners each get exactly 7 days.

Just on the Prelims, why hasn't the NRL released ticketing details already? You could have 20k sold for each just this week. Dumb management.

Is this definate?

IF the Sharks win, they'd play Souths on Friday night?

 

[Jamberoo]

Seems to be very affordable prices for the Sharks-Manly semi on Friday. Sadly, the same can't be said for Storm-Knights.

Average seats (where we would normally sit) for the Storm match are $195 for the family of 4. $30 for a 5 year old FFS.
Has made me think twice about going now.
In an AFL town, it is ridiculous to price RL higher.
This is why only only NSW/Qld/NZ ex-pats follow Storm.
No AFL game on Saturday and a great opportunity but the NRL has priced themselves out of a big crowd.
Will be around 20K.

It would make sense that both Semi Finals winners get 7 days and both Qual Finals winners get 14 days.

 

[Card Shark]

It would make sense

In that case, 1 will get 6 days & 1 will get 8.

Used to happen in the McIntyre system in between weeks 2 & 3.. Could never understand why.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Latest pax from manly game ;

123

 

[Diesel]

123 for the Manly/Sharks game? FFS

 

[Diesel]

I can't understand when the game has the highest income ever that tickets aren't subsidised, has this question been asked of the commission?

 

[guyver78]

How bad are these crowds, we should hang our heads in shame...

Souths v Melbourne = Disgraceful even if it was a friday night game with an out of town team. If 40,000 Souths supporters can turn up against the Roosters the week before then surely we should be able to pull in something similar for a finals game.

Double Header = Disgraceful for 3 Sydney teams but it wasn't really a good idea to start off with.

Dogs v Knights = Disgraceful considering that there was a fair few Knights supporters there.
