Official crowd figure

[Mark Rudd]

For the Knights game on the weekend.


I'm a number-crunchin nerd keeping figures on the whole season. So if you want to let me know what it is, it would be much appreciated.


Good luck with the Warriors for the rest of the year.

Quite a disappointing crowd really for a home game.

Maybe we have more fairweather fans than we realise.

Or maybe the Easter break had some effect as Aucklanders escape Auckland for a few days.

 

[JoeD]

The stands looked really full. The incomplete eastern stand is definitely having an effect on crowd numbers.

Auckland sporting fans will desert a team when they are not going that well. The Warriors will always have 10000 hard core supporters but the cream on the cake comes from then other 5-10 K.

Next week is an acid test for the Wellington fans. If they don't turn up in numbers (at least 20K if the weather's good) to support an underperforming Warriors vs an unpopular (due to recent scandals) Bulldogs side then they can kiss goodbye to the prospect of an NRL team for the next few years. I think they'll be struggling for numbers.

By god the promotion for this match has been piss poor and a 8:30 starting time is inane.
Wellington will probley get a bigger crowd than Auckland and yet they'll still be critisised-It happened last year and the year before.

Averaging about 15,000 this year. Capacity can't be much more, either.

You can't compare Auckland and Wellington crowds directly though, Auckland gets 12 games a season, Wellington gets two. You'd expect the crowd to be at least 5K bigger.

 

[Te Kaha]

Like every year I will be there. but unlike previous years nobody else I know is going. I don't hold out much hope of a 20K crowd. Still the 'Canes arent playing this weekend and if its a fine friday you never know.

Spot on with fairweather, in two ways.

When I stepped out the door, I knew it would be a reasonably disappointing crowd because of

a) the cold weather
b) the lukewarm Warriors

I still believe we, the Warriors faithful (in Auckland), belong to a group of about 12000.

 

[AliN]

yeah 10 - 12,000 I reckon.

Wellington has a passion for sport so here's hoping the stands are pretty full and the Warriors chant is heard loud and clear over the airwaves.
The Christchurch game will be the one I reckon for a full house.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

10-12000 faithful is an improvement on two years ago when the faithful numbered around 8-9000, and even that was an improvement on the bad old days of '99-00 when I reckon we struggled for 6k at some games.

 

[ozbash]

Golightly said 14k seats had been sold so far for friday night.

it could come down to a few things, the warriors lack of form, the mutts not being the most cleanest and greenest in the public image dept..

pity they dont bring over a couple of planeloads of the mutts army,, she,d be a sellout :lol: :lol: :lol:

the tigers game in chch should be a sellout. cantabs just love their sport.

But there wouldn't be a stadium left over!

WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH AN 8:30 KICKOFF??!!??!!?? It must be a bloody Aussie T.V thing. :evil:

Ahh who cares, I'll still be there with bells on (literally - they're attached to my hat!) and yelling until my voice becomes one with the Wellington night sky. GO THE WARRIORS!!

 

[ThrashViking]

The 8.30 kickoff is one of the reasons why people are showing no real intrest in this game
I'll be going and supporting the boys regardless of what the starting time or weather conditions is.

 

[ozbash]

ONYA TRASH,,

it is a stupid time to start a game, most have nearly finished.

 

[AliN]

Have a good one Thrash, we'll be listening for the chant for the home side...oops I mean for the Warriors 8)

Channel 9 delay the game anyway.
