The Official Finals Crowd Thread

[Sleep]

I'd imagine about 50K for the Dogs/Eels game.

 

[TheBourbonBeast]

43k Dogs/Eels

30k Storm Broncs

 

[hellteam]

68 k - Dogs vs Eels
28 k - Storm vs Broncos

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

I'm confident of having an aggregate attendance of 100k next weekend.

What did the Bulldogs vs Eels semi get in 2007?

 

[bartman]

I'm predicting somewhere between 63 and 66k.

I'll predict 55K. Would be bigger if it were a Saturday night and not a Friday.

If there were 28000 Eels fans who trecked to the SFS on a Friday night I am sure that:

*Against biggest rivals the bulldogs
*In a preliminary final
*At Homebush closer to Parramatta

There will be 40,000 eels supporters easy

I'm sure the dogs can get 30,000 AT LEAST to the game

70k is accurate IMO

what did the bulldogs vs eels semi get in 2007?

50,621

 

[ElectricEelMan]

Eels vs Bulldogs 67,226
Storm vs Broncos 33,811

:lol::lol: you actually think the Eels will outnumber the Dogs fans by 10k, you are kidding. Both sets of fans will be out there but there will be more blue n white then parra fans, i assure you of that.

I didnt say that at all.
Being a Parramatta supporter and can only comment on our fan attendance, I have no idea what the dogs fans are like which is why i said 30k "AT LEAST". Because I know they are guaranteed 30k at the very worst.

And I dont think its that clear cut. The Semi in 2007 which drew 50k had more Eels then dogs fans.

 

[ByRd]

haha no it did not, i was there that night and parra did not have more fans there, we will have more fans there but really i couldnt care, as long as there is a big crowd and the atmosphere is awesome.

 

[benoir91]

mate, i was there too, and there were defs more eels fans then dogs

 

[ByRd]

ok kiddo whatever you think loll

 

[Marshall_magic]

50,621

It'll top that by 10-15k, I can't see it getting much more than 60k, no way it'll get 80k.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

I think the problem will be only having 4 full days to sell 70000 tickets... Think about origin in Sydney or the Bledisloe Cup both got to 80000 but it took about 2 months of advertising to sell these tickets...

Knowing Ticketek is an absolute joke of an organisation I really cant see 70k with a 4 day sell period... As an Eels fan I would be fine with the NRL selling the tickets to this game from last monday and at least having say 20k of tickets already sold to dogs fans...

I know you will say if the gold coast won they would of played it at SFS and tickets would need to be swapped etc etc... NRL should of locked in both games for week 3 and had a 2 week sell in period to ANZ and Etihad no matter who they played....

 

[The Tank]

I predict 45k - 50k at most.

 

[Chook Norris]

I predict 45k - 50k at most.

You'd expect that there'd be at least 30k Eels there, considering the 28k that turned up for the Titans..

if it's 50k at most, then there'd be 20k Dogs fans[and we definitely know that that won't happen].. :lol:

my prediction:

33k~ Eels fans + 35k~ Dogs fans

Probably end up with 65k~

---

Other game.. probably 28k..

 

[Angry_eel]

I actually don't think there will be 30K eels fans. Alot of fans will stay away from trouble that the Bulldogs supporters bring. Im not saying Bulldogs supporters will cause trouble but its just a precaution thing for most fans.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

I propose that all businesses in Parramatta and Bankstown CBD areas declare a half day holiday on Friday to allow fans to get home and to the game...
