Crowd Watch Thread 2009

20,114 @ Suncorp.

By Broncos standards, pathetic.

Absolutely. Still, considering how the teams played last week, that's 20,114 more than they deserved!

It's funny JW, I said the same thing to a mate last night - it was louder than most 35k crowds we've had this year. It's brilliant when the "event" footy "fans" don't show up - and there would've been nothing to persuade anyone who wasn't a diehard supporter of either side to show up last night.

Smaller crowds aren't good at all, but I must say the walk back to Roma Street station after fulltime was fantastic! Usually anything up to a half-hour, but only took me 10 minutes last night

I think we were always going to have a smaller than usual crowd however having the Royal Show on this weekend did not help.

I know the Broncos usually push for a Sunday arvo game at this time of year so that the country folk down for the show head out. I worked at the show last night and there were thousands of kids and their parents waiting to watch the fire works at 8pm.

Also it would be a choice this week, the Ekka or the game. I did not buy a ticket nor any showbags or anything, just food, drinks and some other odds and ends and it still cost me $200. If I was a parent with kids and had to pay for tix, rides, showbags and food - cost me a fortune. Could not do both the show and the game in one week. Far too expensive.

:lol: I love how we get shot down for any excuse by QLDers and they have one bad crowd and all of a sudden there's a whole checklist of them...

No excuses from me, Tim. The crowd was sh*t by our standards.

 

[Timmah]

I was referring to the post above mine, whoever that was, rambling on about competing events and such. Just seems rich when we offer those things as excuses and get shot down, but the shoe on the other foot seems to fit perfectly, so to speak.

 

[miccle]

Sorry mate just saw that one. Laughable really - there are always a million excuses why something isn't better, but I think last night's crowd was a great representation of just how things will go for the Broncos if they don't keep up the high standards of the last 17-odd years.

Seriously, put it into perspective - 20,000 after just eight weeks of poor performances. What if we missed the finals and played like hell for eight years? The mind boggles... :crazy:

 

[Timmah]

That to me seems to be the problem with the mentality of certain QLDers and others who bag out Sydney crowds. They have little-to-no understanding of failure from their club's on-field performances and how that affects supporter morale. Only now is that starting to show north of the border.

 

[hellteam]

FFS have a cry

 

[babyg]

nearly 20k at penrith
16k at the SFS
17k at Parra
15k at Brookie

Get these teams out of sydney as it clearly has no love for this sport.

I don't any of them are bragworthy.

 

[Timmah]

You don't English speak good.

 

[Chook Norris]

You don't English speak good.

....well.

Quiet chook, someone might think I did it intentiionally :lol:

Sweet heart, it was not an excuse, it was an explanation.

I agree the crowd was sh!t, I was merely offering a explanation as to why.
Lets just wait and see what the figures are for the next match before we start flinging the proverbial around the place hey?

If it is still poor, then I will sit back and listen to all the broncos kickers whinge about the one team town, Brisbane just being a back water with nothing else to do whilst Sydney is the center of the universe for everything etc etc.

The Storm and Raiders can be forgiven for those numbers because they are expansion areas. The Eels can't, they are in western Sydney. Sharks? Well they need to do something.

 

[ouwet]

I see you didn't include the double header in those figures Timmah?


Should double headers be including in Crowd averages? Seeing as though the Bullodgs & Broncos took 50% each of takings, i think it should be split 50/50...
