Round 1 Crowds

[In-goal]

Well we may aswell start early and i thought i would get the ball rolling.

Brisbane v Cowboys Suncorp 47,000
Bulldogs v Dragons Telstra 36,000
Roosters v Souths Aussie 21,000
Cronulla v Penrith Toyota 16,000
Melbourne v Newcastle OP 11,000
Warriors v Manly Ericsson 18,000
Tigers v Parramatta Telstra 24,000
Canberra BYE

Thats 173,000 for the opening round surely that would be the best start ever to a RL season.

Brisbane v Cowboys Suncorp 50,000
Bulldogs v Dragons Telstra 30,000
Roosters v Souths Aussie 18,000
Cronulla v Penrith Toyota 15,000
Melbourne v Newcastle OP 11,000
Warriors v Manly Ericsson 15,000
Tigers v Parramatta Telstra 18,000

Total: 157,000.

My numbers are more conservative except for the Brisbane/Cowboys game. That could well be a sellout (52,000).

 

[Costaki]

the brisbane vs cowboys match will be a sell out 4 sure

 

[ByRd]

Bulldogs/Dragons (Telstra)= 41237 (i know that the Bulldog fans will be out in force with a few bandwagon fans plus the red & white army will also be there, rivarly between these clubs)
Tigers/Eels (Telstra)= 24781
Broncos/Cowboys (Suncorp)= 46932
Roosters/Souths (Aussie)= 22780
Sharks/Panthers (Toyota)= 16468
Storm/Knights (OP)= 13359 (no AFL i think)
Warriors/Manly (Erricson)= 18124


TOTAL= 183 681

AVG= 26240

*it would be one of the best starts to a season ever but i think the season with the first double header might be higher

BRISBANE v NORTH QUEENSLANDER - SELL OUT

 

[t-ba]

Is the refurbished Ericsson opening on the weekend of the first round?

I reckon that could drum up some interest.

 

[*Paul*]

The most to front up for an opening round is 169,449 - which included a crowd of 4705 - but of course boosted by 100K at Stadium Oz.

158,888 the next best for the 10 game opening round in 1995.

95 was still the golden era until april 1st
