Crowd Watch Thread 2009

[Chook Norris]

The dogs and dragons have really been boosting some away crowds this year. It's nice to see well supported teams at the top of the table.

true, unlike last year when we had Melbourne and Manly.. :x

the Parra crowd this week was 12k... last week's was 17k.. i dunno, but was there really a 5k difference between them at the ground?

18,199 @ DFS
11,977 @ ANZ
9,968 @ SFS
19,350 @ Canberra
12,627 @ Parramatta

Total: 72,121
Average: 14,424

To come - Sharks/Tigers @ Toyota & Broncos/Pemriff @ Suncorp on Sunday, Knights v Storm @ EAS Monday night.

Average will spike to about 16k with the Broncos game, which should hopefully crack 30k.

30k? haha not a hope in hell

Atmosphere at Canberra was electric last night.

I just hope a large chunk of these supporters attend more games next year, we have a great young side.

 

[Brutus]

Tigers v Eels has the potential to draw 35k next week.

But not at the SFS on a Friday night.

What a joke.

 

[Chook Norris]

Warm day in Sydney, blue skies.. but not for long.
However, it's Cronulla's second day game of the year (i think) vs Tigers.. so i'm thinking at least 16-17k

Broncos vs Penrith should be roughly.. 25-27k.. fine and 26 degrees there

Any predictions on what Hazem's last home game might get. I'm gonna be heading up to see it. Should be a large crowd, right? Sunday arvo will certainly help.

 

[Brutus]

Tigers v Eels will be an absolute corker.

Please attract over 30k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a joke.

Is SFS THAT much worse of an option than ANZ?

And Friday nights aren't that bad for crowds are they really?

Blockbuster matches like this will generally be on a Friday night so we might as well get used to it.

I see no reason for the crowd next week to be sub 30K unless there is poor weather.

.

For the two teams involved, possibly yes.

Let's hope the fans turn out in big numbers because a 30k plus crowd at the SFS is a great site.

 

[Brutus]

25,305 @ Lang Park.

Poor.

 

[Timmah]

12,982 at Toyota, reportedly 70%+ Tigers.

12,982 at Toyota, reportedly 70%+ Tigers.

Seriously, would you pay to go and watch that Sharks team?
Almost 13,000 is good.

 

[aarondoyle]

Poor crowd from the Broncs today but the atmosphere was fantastic!

13,004 at the 100,000 seat MCG.. ahh I love it

 

[Big Pete]

Penrith rarely draw well.

Still it's a dissapointing turn out. It was a perfect afternoon for footy.

 

[phonetic]

Really great effort from the travelling Saints fans last night. I've been to Bruce a few times, but I've only ever been there amongst smallish crowds. Brilliant atmosphere last night in a brilliant stadium.

And it wasn't even that cold.

 

[Eye of the Tiger]

Felt like more then 13K at Toyota.
i thought it was 50/50 Fan wise b4 halftime.

 

[$$Poor Boy Blues$$]

Penrith rarely draw well.

Still it's a dissapointing turn out. It was a perfect afternoon for footy.

I think we had 42k against them one year on mothers day, and that was the best for a long time.

Are you planning on turning 7k Dragons into Raiders.:shock:

More like 3,004.

If you think sub 10,000 looks bad at ANZ, sub 10,000 at the MCG looks pathetic.
