Crowd Watch Thread 2009

[gurudave]

To get two 20,000 average weeks in a row would be awesome and the best start to a season we've had.

Two Broncos blockbusters probably are a false indication if the average is at 20k after the first 2 rounds.

 

[DINGb@T]

Not really. Any season is lucky to get 2 rounds that have 20k or more- the season opener plus one other round. Last year it was round 7 (the $onny-Bill/Mason showdown I think), year before it was round 5, year before that round 23, etc. If the 2 opening rounds are above 20k it means that we could be on our way to a season with multiple rounds of 20k+ which would be awesome.

 

[fanatique]

Not a great round 1 it has to be admitted with Titans, Sharks and even Broncos not meeting hopes. However one good sign is the wins for both the Bulldogs and the Souths.

Both Dogs and Souths are able given a good run this year to draw a home average of 20,000 plus and in a recession it would be good to see that.

Hopefully the Rabbits, buoyed by a win and at home to the Eels can draw 25,000.

close to 30k is the hope for tonight, the weather is perfect, Souths are in golden form, and it's Parra's first game in Oz for the year, almost across the road from their home.

I'm gonna be pessimistic:

SOU v PAR - 20,000
BRI v MEL - 35,000
STG v GCT - 15,000
PEN v BUL - 12,500
NQ v WES - 16,500
CAN v SYD - 14,000
MAN v NZW - 16,000
CRO v NEW - 11,000

Total: 140,000
Average: 17,500

Hopefully Parramatta supporters go... I'd expect 25K Rabbitohs supporters alone (It's such a beautiful day).

Imagine IF the Bulldogs & Rabbitohs are 3 from 4 or 4 from 4 by there Round 5 clash on Easter Monday, they'd get 40K+.

Under those circumstances I'd expect them to go close to 50K.

Apart from that, 55,934 for Balmain v St George in 1966 @ the SCG.

A stand alone game? Is it the Bulldogs V Roosters game last year?

 

[babyg]

Footy show singing false sell out again for the Broncos so expect people not to bother showing up. Hope not.

Hopefully the Penrith City Festival that happens tomorrow during the day and afternoon will help boost the crowd tomorrow night.


Good weather tomorrow could get a few families through the gates.
