Round 5 Tips/Crowd Predictions

[The Preacher]

http://stats.rleague.com/rl/venues/henson.html

Thanks t-ba, I knew the old fart wouldn't lie to me, after all it was my old man who told me.
What a great year, 1959. A 30.5k crowd at Henson, Saints win the comp undefeated and The Preacher is born. Three very important events. :sarcasm:

Uninspired thread but surely an "oval" is an out-dated expression and belongs in maths or with the AFL stretched-panted, over-rated, big fish-small pond orientated, tuity-fruity paint-sniffing wife-swapping galahs. As far as tips are concerned this weekend is a classic for coin-tossing.

There will be at least 15,000 at Mt Smart to watch Thurston and Bowen get thumped by the Warriors,score:Warriors 25 Cowboys 16

Over 25,000 tickets have been sold to the Titans Vs Broncos game as of mid Monday.

A surge in ticket sales is expected today with the Easter break over. I think the game will draw a crowd in the high 40's (47-49k). There are 3 articles about the game in todays Courier Mail, with many more to come over the following days to build the hype.

Titans v Broncos 37-40K IMO.

 

[Timmah]

40-43k IMO.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

not sure if there is an NRL version of this but www.crowdtipping.com.au is what you guys need

No,no Brutus, you'd be too pissed to die. Apparently there was a semi, or a semi replay at Henson Park many,many years ago that pulled 30+k, or so I'm told by a gent that is actually old enough to recall the event.
I dream about atmosphere like that !!!

That would be unbelievable... However, a pretty terrible experience for the people who live no more than a paling fence away from the oval!

I was there last year for the Parra v Newtown match and there was about 3,500 people in the ground which seems a lot more in a ground like that.

Gold Coast vs. Brisbane 51,487
Penrithvs. Parramatta 16,275
St. George-Illawarravs. Melbourne 11,050

Warriors vs. North Queensland 11,265
South Sydney vs. Newcastle 21,756
Wests Tigers vs. Cronulla-Sutherland 10,496

If you go back through the thread, sashes, you'll see that t-ba found the game concerned with a crowd of 30.5k. Beautiful.

So far their scores are 6, 6, 8 and 10 so I think they will score 10 again!

 

[fanatique]

Titans V BRONCOS at lang 42,000
PANTHERS V Eels at Penrith 16,000
Dragons V STORM at OKI 11,000
BULLDOGS V Sea Eagles at SA 20,000
Warriors V COWBOYS at Mt. Smart 16,000
RAIDERS V Roosters at Bruce 10,000
Tigers V SHARKS at Camp 14,000
Raaaaaaaaaabbitohs V KNIGHTS at Cntrl Coast 16,500

 

[BrisVegas]

Over 40,000 tickets sold to the Titans/Broncos game according to Fox Sports News Long Lunch, with a sellout expected.

5 rounds in to the competition and the Titans will have the highest crowd average. Does anyone think they can average over 20k this season - it would be a great feat as Cararra only holds 18,000.

 

[Hindyscrack]

I cant see why the titans game wont draw high 40's?

First local derby, plus in Brisbane. IMO the NRL shot it self in the foot scheduling a Friday night game. Sunday afternoon would have allowed more coast fans to travel to brisbane and would have seen a sell out.

 

[effnic]

Gold Coast vs. Brisbane
Penrith vs. Parramatta
St. George-Illawarra vs. Melbourne
Bulldogs vs. Manly-Warringah (Orford in win/Orford out lose)
Warriors vs. North Queensland
South Sydney vs. Newcastle
Wests Tigers vs. Cronulla-Sutherland
Canberra vs. Sydney arrg what a horrible looking match but this is the best chance for the roosters to get there 1000th win.
