Crowd Watch Thread 2009

[ouwet]

On Friday it was 5k General Admission and single seats only in other categories, category one is sold out. Chance of rain is only 25-50% so we should be in the clear weather-wise.

I imagine by now the seated categories are sold out and we're down to 3 or 4k remaning. Hope the game sells out by Tue or Wed...

Category 1 Alloc. Exhausted
Category 2 Alloc. Exhausted
Category 3 Single seats only
General Admission Available
Opposition Supporter Single seats only

Nothing better than seeing a local ground full of fans having a great time!

This weekend should be great for crowds. Dragons v Dogs on Friday should be a sell out, but also there is the local derby of Brisbane v GC, Tigers v Rabbitohs on Sunday arvo, Sea Eagles v Eels at Brookie. Roosters v Knights at the SFS could get a crowd (but who knows?) and the Panthers take on the Sharks at CUA should get a good crowd too.

Mothers Day would have been a huge factor in the 2 poor attendances.

Definitely! Was just pointing out the meteorological differences thats all

Any club with any marketing sense what so ever would have had a Mothers Day special event with free entry for mums, a box of chocolates and draw for a free day at a spa. Ooops that dirty word in RL, marketing!

Any news on the crowd from Gosford tonight? Sellout?:lol:

 

[The Tank]

8,412.

Oh dear. The sad thing is that the Roosters moved this game for fear of a small crowd in Sydney. What were they expecting? 3,000? 2,000?

Terrible, terrible crowd.

 

[Non Terminator]

It did look bigger at the game.
Monday night at Gosford...what did you expect?

 

[Timmah]

They would've got less in Sydney yes. Instead the NRL shafted this game to Monday night - an untried and untested time and place. It was never going to get a good crowd. Having said that it looked closer to 11,000 to me.

Nevertheless, a poor crowd. Next week we should see some better numbers.

Cool, wasn't having a go at you!

Agreed...but would have to advertise this well in advance...maybe a 4pm start..but then we have the problem with ch.9 news!

Can just see all the 18 year old girls putting up their hands and saying they are mums:lol:

For mnf for 2 out town teams...don't think it was that bad!

Afl trialled mnf here in Melb. tonight...bet there were heaps there..colllingwood vs top of the ladder team..saints....

1. Some Sydney-siders have been claiming that the reason they can't sell out the grand final is because they have 7348 games to attend this season, including driving to Penrith, Gosford etc. Doesn't look like too many drove to Gosford! (Count that claim as discredited.)
2. The Roosters had to move this game to "out (of) town" because they wanted a greater attendance than the would have got in Sydney. The fact that the larger number was 8000-odd, it reflects very poorly on the Roosters that they couldn't hope to draw that many.

Wonderful work, Flaccid. You describe a crowd of 27000 as unequivocally "pisspoor" but seek to defend a crowd of 8000.

To your credit, unlike your conclusion on the behaviour of the serial, gangbanging philanderers on Four Corners expressed in another thread, you do concede that this was "(n)evertheless, a poor crowd".

 

[Timmah]

Given the predictions of 40,000+ being thrown around, 27k was pisspoor when you recall it was a match against the defending premiers.

Nobody predicted great things, most feared a small crowd in regards to last night - Monday night at a ground that's never had it before is always going to be a big risk.

Ah, Flaccid! You lighten up my day.

"8000 is a pretty good. 27000 is pisspoor."

:lol:

That was me - I was drunk on QLD pride. But maybe I was one week short.....hell, i may as well predict 50k on friday cause i'll be there!
