Fight Club - Football Crowds

[Fred]

The nrl are really going to have to address these crowd numbers . If broadcast rights aren’t going to provide the revenue it once did then they are just going to have to find other revenue streams.

Fred, Fred, Fred my friend.
Have you forgotten the 2+billion being spent for new stadiums.
Everybody knows they'll fix everything.
Just look at WSS.

[Fred]

Yeah, I get what you’re saying but seriously I do think this is a big issue for the nrl going forward. They do have league clubs which, whilst seperate, do contribute, but crowds are a major source of revenue and they really need to do something here. I have suggested before having quarters to add to the game day experience. Also can charge catering contractors more and more adds.

[SportCapital]

I'm pretty sure they pulled around 87k this round of 8 games.

Your idea is novel but it's scoring they need. Much more scoring.
It gives more ad time, much more fan excitement. And just looks so much better as a sport.
It'll take care of crowds and raise revenue.

Check out AFL to see what I mean.

if you take out the 28k average from the news corp broncos the NRLOL average is much lower

[notaleaguefan]

the old Brisbane lions are gaining some momentum after being a basket case of the past decade they have won a few games this year & possibilities of playing finals

2017 16455
2018 18406
2019 23478

still have a bit of catching up on the newscorp broncos who are on 29403 for 2019 but have been a rather consistent finals performer of the past decade


a few finals appearences will have the lions bigger than the broncos again and have the old league hearted bogans dribbling out some good but but excuses

That is truly astonishing!
Damn near tripled 'em.

Remind me, which league was to have the "mass boycott" from the fans?
I was sure it was the AFL but maybe i'm wrong......

really bad round for the NRL>

Highlights which continue to bother the NRL>

Thursday Night unpopular for attendances
Friday 6pm unpopular for attendances

(and the decline of Canterbury)

as usual the scheduled but but is only acceptable when it comes to the league fan and not the afl fan

get over it Leroy its what the NRLOL chooses to do to maximize its viewership! it doesnt do it on purpose to loose viewers and money

[SportCapital]

5578 turn up for the first of four games this round for the NRL.
A new record for a home game attendance of the St George Illawarra Dragons.
That being, the lowest ever.
Not once in the clubs history has the been a shitter crowd.

I'm singin' in the rain
Just singin' in the rain
What a glorious feeling
I'm happy again
I'm laughin' at clouds
So dark up above
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
