Crowds this weekend...

[Jobdog]

the raiders game will be pretty ordinary. 12 at the most IMO
depending on how many south sydney fans make the trek down the hume

Which probably wont be too many.

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

raiders and melb are consistenly having low crowds, nrl need to fix that

 

[CULLUS.ONLINE]

Wests Tigers report that 10,000 tickets are available:
8000 GA tickets
2000 Reserved Tickets (apparently single seats)

Many people have been saying that Cambo will sell out at 18,000 yet the ground has reached OVER 18,000 three times within the last year. The latest record (roughly 18,500) still had PLEANTY of area free for people! THe ground record will be broken this sunday and it will hit the 20k mark.
I'd say 21k at most (hope im well below).

 

[The Colonel]

Anyone going to the Parrav Dogs game and was thinking of using their Junior Player/Offical Passes might want gto get themselves a ticket instead if you still can.

If it is sold out they won't be accepted and that has now happened twice in the GA section.

 

[Mr Saab]

cowboys/tigers might not be a sellout.
Still 8k tickets available

Yes and we have been saying that the nrl should help since 1998.

We as in the Storm fans

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

We as in the Storm fans

Well u r gonna need more than just 10 000 ppl for that to happen , get more ppl on ur side

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

Storm DO need assistance. I don't care if they all follow AFL down there, if out of there 3 or so million people they can't get a consistent crowd of over 10K (minimum) they need some serious kicks up the backside.

Firstly, new (modern) facilities - which are coming.
Second - Solid Marketing. Not the odd radio spot or meagre signs outside olympic park - A whole new campaign.
Thirdly - Solid Marketing
Fourthly - Solid Marketing
Umpteenthly - Solid Marketing

Its a farce that the NRL say "we are commited to Melbourne" and do as little as they do. The club should also take some responsibility, but they are seemingly like a red-headed stepchild to the NRL.

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

mate the storm are dong more than their fair share, lyk u sed it just needs more marketing

The club have done marketing - but what good has it been??

Years ago the Swans were gonna get kicked out of the AFL comp, but they always marketed like the Storm did. Still No-one went to their games. So what did the AFL do? They almost kicked them out but instead;

They pumped money into marketing (all the previous staff cleared out), funded the club big time who then bought big name players even Sydneysiders recognized (Lockett, Barassi etc), promoted the absolute bejesus out of the swans, almost won a comp. The fans came. Now look how they go these days.

The storm shouldn't be any different.

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

i completely agree with u that the NRL needs to do something similar, especaially with the new TV rights deal

 

[melon....]

Chooks will get 17,000. And Finch will be the number one priority in 2006....errrrrr...

We'll get 12,000 and Sharks fans wont travel.

The Melbourne Storm Rugby League Club gets not one cent from the NRL to help in Marketing.


Most of the Melbourne Storm Off field cost goes to marketing.

 

[iggy plop]

43,082 tickets sold for Dr v BR according to the CM.

& looking at storm sponsor who are 2 of the main 10
herald sun & channel 9 they can advertise all they want if they wanted to

if the swans can get 40000 a game melbourne storm should be able to

the only way their current crowd would be acceptable is if they were coming LAST

 

[DIEHARD]

43,082 tickets sold for Dr v BR according to the CM.

Gold Coast Bulletin says that as well.

Last night only 9500 tickets were still available for the match at the 52,500 seat Suncorp Stadium.
