Crowd Watch Thread 2009

[The Tank]

That exceeds my expectations, as did the game itself in the entertainment factor. I had expected a very dour contest, but it turned into quite a good game.

Same. I was expecting a snorefest witnessed by about 8k.

I'm heading out very shortly taking the kids as well. Great weather.

Shame big Dell isn't playing, but hoping the Dragons win.

Looking forward to the Last Post.

Have fun Brutus!

Ok crowd i guess, by the looks of the tv it was majority St George fans

 

[Panther_Daz]

Early prediction for Sharks v Roosters next Saturday 5:30 at Toyota Park - 7,143

 

[ByRd]

Ill go even lower, 6,942...its going to be ugly

 

[Didgi]

You guys are being optimistic!

 

[Brutus]

15,200 in woeful conditions at Olympic Park.

Very good crowd.

Very good crowd.

The Warriors always get a big crowd in Melbs, the weather looked atrocious too!

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

probably about 60/40 st george fans...

Yeah, I'd go with that, Saints fans are having a very big year. That's the last of the big crowds we'll see at our games I'm afraid unless the boys can put a bit of quality back into their game.

Prediction for Sharks vs Roosters next week:

112

(109 of them Roosters fans)

 

[8Ball]

Anyone know the Cowboys Sea eagles crowd?

Very good crowd.

Great crowd, all in white ponchos and it was freezing by half time.
Would surely have drawn full capacity if the weather was better.

It was about the 16.5k mark, which was a bit disappointing but considering how many defence members are up here, I can understand why a lot of people would have probably stayed at home and so forth.............I will admit I was a tad sloshed after a full day of festivities but still had a great time at the footy.:alcho:

Fantastic. It really made up for the lop-sided score-line.

Isn't that the average for them???

 

[Chook Norris]

Isn't that the average for them???

bit below i think

usually they get around the 18k mark

 

[beave]

I think our average for this season is about the 18-19k mark so it was a bit down on our standard but Manly aren't all the popular up here and as I was saying, the amount of ADF members up here on ANZAC day and so forth, whilst 16.5k is disappointing, it can be justified. I think if we manage to pull off a win in sydney next week, the Dragons game up here will be close to selling out. St George have a pretty big following in QLD, throw in the fact they are the best team in the comp by far at the moment, and us maybe starting to get it together, has the ingredients to be 25k crowd.

The silence during the Last Post last night was spine chilling. Other than a few babies crying which you cant do anything about, and 1 person "yeehaaing" at one point, you could hear a pin drop throughout the stadium during it. Was really good to see/hear the respect it deserves.
