Sydney Crowds

[LESStar58]

The preliminary final featuring Souffs should be packed to the rafters provided the Centrelink cheque clears...

 

[big hit!]

the NRL got paid a shitload for me to watch it in comfort.

i would be watching the game on the big screen at the ground anyway. shit venue.

 

[Stinkler]

Will be a shit atmosphere at Allianz today. There's Cowboy and Manly fans in Sharks bays.
Panthers fans in the Manly bay. Sharks, Manly and Roosters fans all mixed in together on halfway.

It's gunna be quiet.

How's it looking numbers wise? I have been thinking 30-35k

 

[Stinkler]

Right now? 2000 at the most.

 

[Brutus]

The double header crowd is such a carefactor.

I couldn't care if the crowd ends up being 40,000 or 5,000.

It's such a stupid idea.

ooops i thought kickoff was 3 not 4. Shows how well the whole week has been marketed :sarcasm:

 

[Loudstrat]

Great atmosphere, but more to do with the closeness and tension of the game than the crowd second. Double header was a f*cking stupid idea. Aggregate of 32k for both games.

Would have gotten over 20k each if played at Endeavour and SFS.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Should never have been a double header, they couldve put the Sharks game at Remondis wouldve got over 16,000 for the match, still looked like a good turnout for Sharks fans today.

32,000 for a double header is a bit disappointed.

 

[Perth Red]

10k fans per club, bit more than a bit disappointed. Everyone's being critical of Sth's 20k who turned out but it was double today's efforts by Sydney clubs.

Sorry whats the problem? 2 games for the price of one. Decent venue.

 

[Parramatta1947]

There was only 37K at the AFL - both codes would be disappointed with the crowds

True Rugby league supporters don't like to see their game cheapened. I suppose you would have liked to see a quadruple header then, with all 4 games played after each other at the same venue.

The days of the Swans playing finals games at ANZ Stadium must surely be nearing an end. They no longer get the crowds to justify moving from the SCG. They are the premiers and have played some of the most popular VFL teams at the venue this year and 38k seems to be the limit.

Sorry mate but that is a pretty lame reason.

so because I didnt mind the doubleheader then I'm not a true supporter? Really?? Nah you can't be serious because that is pretty pathetic. You support your team where ever they play.

Great atmosphere and good crowd at Allianz. Double headers are the way to go for first week of finals.

[fanatique]

Shameful.

So much for their being 50k Souffs fans there last week!

No one ever said thre were 50,000 bunnies at that.

Look whether you like it or not only 2 clubs were watched by more than half a million fans this year and only 1 in NSW.....The Rabbits.

They didn't bring 50K to the game V the Roosters. They couldn't and no one else could but what they did do was bring more people through the gate this season than any other club, Broncos included. Why not give some credit instead of sniping and suggesting they should be mocked for failing to do what every other club Broncos included would fail to do?

Having the Souths up and about the top 4 is good for the game.

There is a thing called contracts which organisations are bound by.

AFL needs to continue their association with the Stadium until 2016 at least unless they compensate the venue for breaking it.

And once that contract is up it's bye bye AFL from ANZ Stadium. Or at least it should be.
