Dolphins making History

[Quolls2019]

I cant believe the AFL decided to put the Lions Melbourne game on the same night as first Rugby League derby.

I am sure they are regretting it now & I am not looking forward to trying a getting an Uber to the Gabba Friday night. It is going to be a long wait as I don't think Brisbane as a city can handle 2 big crowds at the same time.

Time will tell I guess.

but

there'll only be ... one .. big crowd in the Brisbane CBD on Friday night petey

If the lions get half the attendance of the broncos dolphins game…it will be a win.

or a snap census of ex pat vicderpians or their offspring in Brisbane ?

hell
even some of them will be going to the NRL
talk about capturing the imagination of the city

Half will be a win….you should do a census on the birth place of attendees… depending on which argument you want put forward:
Australians who support Australian Rules are discriminatory, and I have toned down your diatribe.
But Queenslanders who support Australian rules are not true Australians or Queenslanders because they don't support rugby…and are discerning.

I think the Lions will get around 28,000 & the broncos will obviously sell out with 52,000

Melbourne is not a very popular team so 28,000 will be a good/decent crowd with mostly QLDs being there.

[Fred]

I think anything over 20000 is a good crowd for the Lions when versing Melbourne generally so if they get over 20000 this weekend would show a decent rusted in base.

i know it is only early but 2nd team has been well overdue.. and it is now highlighting
the extra presence a another brisbane team is doing for the game

the media interest and interest in the game especially in QLD has lifted to another level.

QLD will have another team within 5 years. (lock it in)

Agree, as I have posted before, I was a bit surprised that they did not admit 2 Brissy sides at once if the applications were so strong.
Will not be too long.

yeah, the NRL would not have enough balls to do that...
they were wanting a strong case for 1 entry and see how that goes..

But now they will go to the table real quickly and look for entry bids ASAP>

2 gorillas in the room each year in the derbies between these 2 clubs , everything else in Brisb will be forgotten about.
30K fans on average to games in Brisbane each week.
over 50K members between the 2 clubs at the moment, & probably over 60K by seasons end.
media space was already dominated by the Broncos & RL in Brisb, but the Dolphins & wayne bennett are going to soak up a huge amount of it too..

any fumblers still want to talk down the impact of the Dolphins on their silly little sport in QLD ?

i recan BRISBANE could fit another 2 clubs easily.. that is how big brisbane will become..
FIREHAWKS BID (South EAST)

IPSWICH TOOWOOMBA BID (JETS)

no other code would get a word in if this were the case.

[Pete__09]

I pretty sure the lions Melbourne game will get way over 20,000.

Although they are not popular, Melbourne won the flag 2 years ago & are probably the best team in the league right now playing the lions at home who should definitely finish top 4 even after last weeks terrible performance in Adelaide.

So to me its basically a top 4 clash which should be a great game that deserves a good crowd.

[Fred]

We will see.

[leeroy*NRL*]

It is Wednesday 22.3.23 ( and we are still 2 days away)

I have never seen such hype surround a game in QLD outside GF and ORIGIN

[Pete__09]

It will be a big game. What do you think the crowd ratio will be leeroy as its a Dolphins home game?

I am guessing all the Broncos members wont be able to sit in their normal seats because of this.
