RLWC2017 Crowd Watch

[insert.pause]

Cultural cringe

 

[Saint Doc]

 

[Burns]

Organisers are expecting between 9,000 and 10,000 for Sydney. Not confident with the rain. Will depend how many people with free tickets turn up.

 

[Pommy]

Yeh? Australia do well in that?

What?

Literally the biggest game in unions calendar? 45k. Doesn't go near selling out any more.

 

[Buriram]

Just my humble opinion on RL crowds.

 

[deluded pom?]

How’s the weather in Hamilton? Should be good walk up?

We arrived about noon from Taupo. Pissed it down all the way here and for a few hours after we got here. Currently dry but still plenty of cloud about. Tongan and Samoan fans have been coming in all day. Bring it on.

 

[Burns]

Looks pretty meh in Christchurch.

Maybe just pushing 10,000?

 

[playdaball]

Smallish crowd in ChCh, looks to be 9-10K. Capacity there is circa 18000.

 

[cleary89]

What?

I thought it was obvious we were talking about Australia....

 

[Jim from Oz]

Anyone who pays for tickets today is silly. A bajillion free tickets floating around.

that will be me x 6 then !

Looks ok on TV - except when they show the non-TV grandstand!!

 

[King Ben]

Well, the strategy of filling the stands on the TV-side is at least working here.

I was about to say they should've scheduled the game for Belmore instead. But Allianz is the closest for all the Poms in Bondi. So who on earth knows.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Well this weather shouldnt bother the Poms. Hopefully a good turnout tonight.

If they are only expecting 10k. You wonder why the would schedule the game at a 45k stadium.

 

[Ari Gold]

Good crowd in NZ

 

[phonetic]

Christchurch looks great. Even the broadcast side filled out a little bit, particularly towards one end. For what was always going to be a lapping, it's a solid turnout.

Hopefully it will get a full house for the Q/F (which should involve NZ) …

 

[Raiderdave]

Both shit crowds.

Future test venues:

Canberra

the way this world cup is running
there'll be no future test venues , no one appears interested in them , in Australia.
