Crowd Watch Thread 2009

[Chook Norris]

Some people reckon Dragons v Tigers is heading towards 25-30k,any truth in the statement?

Voss said the same thing last night

bullsh*t imo, will probably get 20k~~

 

[ByRd]

i doubt it, if the Tigers were going better then 25-30k would be a given but they are struggling and i think it will be about 18-22k.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

13-14k at SFS it looks like

 

[Chook Norris]

13-14k at SFS it looks like

i'd say its 16k.. which is poor

 

[Chook Norris]

crowd was just over 15k@SFS

meanwhile.. at ANZ.. crowd looks a crappy 10k

 

[Brutus]

Both poor crowds considering the positions of the Dragons and Dogs on the ladder and the perfect weather.

Was expecting a better crowd than that, good weather.

Ticketek said there were only limited seats in A reserve but there were gaps everywhere, whilst my side in B reserve seemed pretty full.

Should've got a better crowd. Tigers going well would've helped.

Is it safe to say the move to Aussie Stadium was a complete failure for the Tigers.

 

[BrisVegas]

Impressive turn out by Dragons supporters to an away game. From a TV perspective a person could quite easily mistake the game as being a St. George-Illawarra home fixture.

Solid crowd for the 'Dogs IMO... similar to last week's figure vs Penrith and a big improvement on the last few times we've played NQ at either Suncorp or ANZ...

8,549 @ Suncorp 2008
15,412 @ Suncorp 2007
6,572 @ ANZ 2000

Plus a couple of 6k and 7k efforts @ the Showground. There was a game at ANZ in 2004 but it was a semi, it got 18k, and then two games at Carrara which both drew around the 15-20k mark.

So not totally upset with the crowd but, yeah - could've been better.

There's more Dragons fans at a Broncos clash at Suncorp. Sydney crowds need to be priority number one for the NRL. They are sh*t.

 

[TheBourbonBeast]

What were last nights numbers?

Is it safe to say the move to Aussie Stadium was a complete failure for the Tigers.

They have only played 3 games so far this year as part of their Moore Park deal. They have resulted in crowds of:

14,426 - V Roosters
29,970 - V Rabbitohs
15,211 - V Dragons

This has given them an average of 19,869

Compare this to Leichhardt and Campbelltown games this.
Leichhardt has an average of 13,373
Campbelltown has an average of 14,988

It's hard to call it a complete failure based upon how its drawn so far, especially when the club isn't doing much on the ladder...

 

[ByRd]

Crowd was about 13, 500 at ANZ stadium

 

[yakstorm]

Bulldogs - 13461
WTigers - 15211

 

[Timmah]

Tigers gotta give up on SFS surely... Tigers v Dragons should be packing 25k plus...

Rabbitohs was at the SCG, we played them there last year, and I believe we will do so every year now.

 

[Timmah]

Which brings the SFS average down to just 14,800 or so does it not?

 

[Fraser]

Looked like there were 12,000 St. George fans there last night.

Appaling crowds.
