Crowd Watch, Part III

[underwater]

Its your fault for choosing to live somewhere which has rubbish public transport

 

[underwater]

if you are fat and unfit all the more reason for the lengthy walk!!

arent there free shuttle busses from the leagues club which makes this argument redundant anyways.

Yep, manly have 27 i think

Ignore- wrong thread

 

[CowboyFuriousFury]

it's a tv game is a excuse..a long running one for lazy supporters to come up with a excuse to no show.

MASS TRANSIT papabear , MASS TRANSIT


even if they put on 100 buses that would still only be about 6000 to 7000 people.


And Military road is a nightmare on a friday night.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Thats enough for about 2000 people.


One train can carry that many.

 

[papabear]

well move the club to north sydney and rename them the bears and they wont have to deal with these problems.

oh wait....


no - didnt they kill the bears retreat to their swamp and now just continue to whinge about their circumstances.

What do posters think the crowds would be if the matches this weekend were played on Saturday night and Sunday arvo instead of Friday and Saturday?

Would a Crowd of 30k be a chance if the Sharks and Manly played on Sat night at the SFS?

 

[RWB]

yes
the difference between 125K & 95K is just massive :sarcasm:

They're not facts, they're just numbers you pulled out of your arse.

The only numbers we can compare so far are week 1.

AFL - 235,842 (Avg: 58,960)
NRL - 77,442 (Avg: 19,360)


Even if you wanted to be extremely generous and say the double header split into two separate games would've drawn and extra 20,000 fans it's not even close.

Listening to people harp on about our crowd figures compared to the AFL is annoying but no where near as annoying as the thick league fans who think there's not that much of a difference between the numbers.

Yes the difference is massive.

Yes.

History suggests so as well.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

If Mick Dittman can whip Red Anchor 180 times in the final furlong then Manly and Sharks fans can get to this game no probs

For tonight Catagory 2 tickets now $20...

Pretty sure most of the whinging is being done by people like yourself. Can't say I've seen any whinging from Manly fans.

For the record, if the death of the bears upset people like yourself then it was certainly a good thing. Panties have been in bunches ever since and every time I see a Bears fan moaning it brings a smile to my face. My team's playing a semi final tonight and all you get to do is sook on the internet. :lol:

For sure. By having it on Friday, a fair number of Manly fans who have kids can't come- they'd have to return home from work, get their kids, then go into the city. If you're finishing work at 5:30-6, that's pretty much unfeasible (depending on where you work, of course). It's fine for me, since I don't have any kids, and it's fine for the guys I work with, we're all heading straight to Allianz after work.

 

[Mr Saab]

The game is obsessed with night time football (yes channel nine dictates terms). If the sharks / eagles game was played on Sunday avo at 3pm they would get 35k i believe.

 

[Saint Doc]

@ReeceySimmo5: Tonight's crowd prediction: Allianz - 11,347. Northies - 21,739. Steyne Hotel - 26,674. #nrl

Disgrace to their true customers.

Maybe...
That's what they also said about the Dogs v Knights game last weekend and those 2 teams have really good supporter bases.
I actually doubt there would be a 10,000 pple difference in attendance even if this game was played this sunday as opposed to tonight?

On another note where are they discounting tickets for this game? I paid $70 each for my Category 1 in bay 35 which was allocated to Manly supporters.

 

[morley101]

The Lastix tickets yesterday were for Bay 33 and currently the $20 tickets are for bay 31.
