Fight Club - Football Crowds

[pussycat]

They will control it. It doesnt mean that the broadcasters wont still have a heavy influence, just like Seven and Fox still do for the AFL.

The broadcasters will have near full control of the nrlol schedule. The nrlol sold everything all bar the kitchen sink to get close to the afl

what has the NRL sold more than what the AFL have sold in the new tv rights deal..??
I look forward to your explanation ...>>

Sold Less FTA matches to 9 and sold less digital rights to Telstra.

was highlighting Olympic Park Venue
& being a Thursday night.

( I hope the NRL schedules no Olympic Park games on a Thursday night 2018)
and no 6pm Games

the results speak for themselves.

Just more poor excuses. The afl used to have waverley park as their second stadium. It was in the middle of the burbs with no easy public transport access, yet it still pulled decent crowds.

6k is horrendous, especially for a club that supposedly has a large following. In fact ive heard it said by throwball fans that it rivaled collingwood. Lol

in reality terms the level of support for the NRLOL's clubs would be lucky to be on the Level of a North Melbourne

well just think with the 6k last night it should only head up from there to their usual 9 or 12k that usually show up

[NlolRL]

two 6k crowds in a row. Hawhaw

[docker24]

Lol 6k for NRL, surgery theatres in local hospitals pull better crowds.

[leagueiscrap]

Apparently different start times and new stadiums will have the crowds packing out stadiums we are told

[leagueiscrap]

Lol Friday! That must be the day the broncos play most on

[leagueiscrap]

apparently you are a jackass. Has anything changed yet? no. fuck off.

Cheer up! Your not the only one stuck at work tonite

Broadcasters have been caught using old vision of NRL crowds in order to to make attendances look bigger as the crowd crisis worsens in Sydney.

The average Sydney NRL crowd this year has been just over 13,000, its lowest in years, with the Thursday night game largely to blame, averaging under 10,000 people.

Attendances for the Friday six pm time slot are only marginally better.

Two weeks ago the crowd crisis was at its worst during the traditional Rabbitohs v Dragons clash at the SCG, the turnout was embarrassing for the six pm clash.

Those who did attend said the stadium was completely void of any atmosphere.

Due to horrible crowds such as this one, broadcasters have been sprung using old video of crowds in order to make attendances look bigger.

With ratings king, clubs and the NRL seem to be happy to sacrifice crowds for TV ratings.

Some radical solutions are now being considered by clubs, including allowing members free access to away games.

Fans responded passionately to the NRL crowds report by Josh Massoud on social media.

The NRL season got off to the worst possible start with crowds in 2017, with its worst opening-round attendance averages since the Super League war.

Just 100,975 people walked through the gates in round one's eight matches, at an average of 12,622.

The figure is well down on the 14,644 average attendance across each of last year's opening-round matches, and the lowest since 1996, when only 30,198 watched the four games that weekend.

On that occasion, six matches were forfeited as the Super League war threatened to tear the game apart.

So if nein have proposed this before you would think this all but confirms it.

Oh NRL, you are the gift that keeps on giving (the lulz)

[NlolRL]

another healthy crowd at the Giants

[Fred]

Looks a decent crowd at the gws game.

Sydney average for afl is prestige good considering giants crowds would bring this down and in nrl heartland.
