RLWC2017 Crowd Watch

[Raiderdave]

We’re talking about internationals dummy and people being willing to go to a game that’s no contest

we're talking about what aussies will watch dummy
it aint the 3rd rung of our code in this country ....

30 Kangaroos wins to 6 since 2005
says pigs arse , to your pigs arse pal

you know nothing

Keep your 30 creamo, I'll take the three games that matter.

The fact remains the Kangarros can't draw a crowd and it's still pathetic.

you mean the 32-2 scoreline to the Roos in the 2013 RLWC final ?
anyway
see you in the final next week



oh... hang on
thats right ... we wont will we ? LOL

 

[Billythekid]

Awful crowd. So does this mean that Brisbane will miss out like Sydney has this time? Pretty pathetic if Aus v Lebanon draws more than this.

No, the last three major tournament finals held in the Southern Hemisphere we've been discussing...but yeah good deflection champ.

Compare England's crowds from round 2 to to the semi final in 2013, and the relative position of RL in the markeplace in the UK with the Roos in 2017. It is a stark contrast.

It’s definitely more than the Lebanon game.

It’s a weird distribution of people compared to the average Suncorp game, so harder to guesstimate, but pretty sure it’s over 20.

Man that f**king Oak milk ad shits me.

Can Australia please stop scoring.

Best thing for the WC would have been Kiwis to have beaten Fiji last week. NZ to upset Aus tonight and either a NZ v Eng final or NZ v Tonga.

 

[Stallion]

A flexible pricing policy should have been part and parcel of this tournament. The stupidity in not being able to read the market shows that inexperienced or incompetent people were employed for marketing this tournament. Tonight's game shows they have not learnt from past mistakes and this can only be a sign of incompetence or deliberate sabotaging of the code? Take your pick! It certainly isn't good business acumen!

 

[Coastbloke]

Everyone knows Australia will flog Fiji, the kangaroos aren't a draw because they are too dominant, had it been against NZ it would have been a better crowd.

Problem with that scenario is that a few years ago, England v Fiji filled Twickenham and smashed Fiji with everyone predicting it would be that way. All Blacks fill stadiums regardless of opponents..

League has to acknowledge this disparity where dominance doesn't mean empty seats because other sports can manage it..Tickets were too expensive granted, but our battle is to highlight that other sports have blowouts and that the point is to see the best of the best whether that is the Kangaroos or All Blacks or the US Basketball team etc etc..

Tickets were clearly too expensive from game one onwards!

can we stop comparing the pinnacle of one code , with the 3rd rung of ours
its a ridiculous thing to do
origin v union internationals
thats fairer

Exactly. All that tv and media interest and yet they still manage to out draw you at the gate by upwards of 100%.

[Jim from Oz]

So what was the crowd tonight?

Origin isn’t the pinnacle of our code. Nrl players rate winning a gf above origin and players from other countries can’t play origin. RL is bigger than a game between 2 states.

 

[user_nat]

22073 was the crowd (nrl.com)

 

[Jim from Oz]

Pretty damn average

 

[beave]

I paid $100 to sit on the western side lower bowl halfway line, last row. Great view but shitful game. I was okay with paying that much but i can understand many others wouldn’t. Damn shame.

 

[Raiderdave]

. RL is bigger than a game between 2 states.

apparently its not

not here .....

oh &

pinnacle for fans
not players

K ? : )
