Crowd Watch Thread 2009

Without context, it's below average. Given Penrith's previous figures as I've shown above - it's fantastic, they've upped their average crowd this season by 4,000. Kudos to the fans at the foot of the mountains.

Is everybody drunk on this forum, 14k is not a good crowd, supposedly in the middle of the biggest juniour rugby league in the world...

Deep down the Panthers management would rather you be in the club watchin it on TV and punting on the pokies..

Im sure they will be so pleased that you are happy.:roll: I can feel some Parra bashing. I'll get in first, who the f**k would want to take their family 2 a dogs game, not me too ferral, though make sure you blame the sh*t on crowd on the Parra fans and not the thugs in the blue and white, though to be fair not all Dogs supporters are thugs, just a select few pieces of sh*t.

i siad at the start of the week it will used as an excuse for parra fans, jump on the media bandwagon when you feel like it,, you can see that they have blown it out of proportion??? yeh there are a select few idiots but what about the idiots at other games like parra fans, the ones who throwd crap at players??? or you pretend stuff never happens at your club

No, plenty happens to our club we all know Parra have alot of issues at this point, though I dont mind ANZ and would have gone this week if it was anyone but the dogs which as a real shame as they have turned things right around on the park, thats probably where Parra can learn something.

or you could not make excuses, go to the game, and pay and extra few bucks for reserved seats so you arent sitting with drunk ferals

Are you suggesting that people who sit in the reserve seat section don't get drunk?

I'm suggesting that those who go to the footy for a fight aren't the type of people who cough up for reserved seating.

 

[Timmah]

Troublemakers are normally cheapskates who purchase General Admission seats adamkungl, that's the point.

People like big boppa eel are too willing to believe media hype. Are you going to avoid EAS for the 20 person brawl too?

By definition you should never attend an RL stadium again, using your logic.

Thats just weak, you should never attend another game then going by your logic, your only falling for the media hype over Bulldog games. Yeh, we have problems but our club has worked hard over the last couple of years and we have cleaned up alot of problems, get to the game and stop making excuses.

Yes that was exactly my point.

 

[ByRd]

Exactly, the few that cause trouble are tight a$$es who will always be behind the posts and in those areas, if you want to avoid them, pay a bit extra and sit in the east or west stands.

 

[Didgi]

REasonably good crowds at both venues, but would probably expect more at Panrif becuase they were playing the Broncos.

 

[Jason Maher]

Anything over 10,000 is a decent crowd in my book. Certainly by historical standards 10,000+ is good anywhere except Brisbane. Don't believe me? Have a look here. Has all NSWRL/ARL/SL/NRL attendences since 1957 - both summary stats and individual crowd figures.

edit: look under the match scores and ladders section for individual crowds.

 

[Pass the Ball]

Your book needs updating - 10000 people is just not enough...in my book..

 

[Timmah]

They got 14,322, not 10,000. And as I said, as a club they are averaging 3,000 more per game than at the same time last year. About 27% increase in home crowds compared to the same time last year. Are you seriously going to bag them for that?

 

[Didgi]

No-one is bagging them I don't think?

 

[Timmah]

Pass the Ball is...

 

[big boppa eel]

Its also about getting out of the ground safely and travelling back home on public transport which are issues as well, call it an excuse if you like to me its fact and it is a pity as the bulldogs have cleaned their act up over last couple of years, but the risk of violence is still there.

 

[adamkungl]

Penrith have some good crowds in them...Roosters Eels Dragons and Souths at CUA should all be around 18-20k imo. Will finish with a very good average, weather permitting
