Fight Club - Football Crowds

[Raiderdave]

Raid it's not in free fall. A free fall is a bigger plummet than that. But it is down, and I'll give you a better reason why ours is down. A stupid finals system. The NRL was first with the 1v4, 2v3, 5v8, 6v7 final eight and we went away from it for no good reason!! Aside from those cowards at Manly who won't go anywhere but Brookvale. Especially to Allianz Stadium. Terrible transport! Been there once and never again!

I think the interstate teams traveling was the problem for the AFL. And they'll be down again this week for the same reason.

Crows get close to sell out crowds most games and should get 45K to their game friday night..

how'd this prediction work out buddy ?
another VFL sell out was it ?

[Xman]

31K v 16k

And we're the ones disappointed with the turnout!

Oh poor little NRL.

[Raiderdave]

31K v 16k

And we're the ones disappointed with the turnout!

Oh poor little NRL.

15K expected ... nearly 17K turnout
45K expected ... 31K turnout

NRL holds it own
VFL.... well wot the F is going on there

[Xman]

31K v 16k

And we're the ones disappointed with the turnout!

Oh poor little NRL.

15K expected ... nearly 17K turnout
45K expected ... 31K turnout

NRL holds it own
VFL.... well wot the F is going on there

15k expected!!!

What sort of a shit sport expects 15k to an elimination final in its own heartland?? The media pleaded with fans to turn up. I even heard free public transport was on offer, plus the tickets were barely more expensive than a regular game.

Where the hell are the fans???

wot sort of a sport doesn't know its as bad as it is ... cr@p ..a woeful spectacle according to its own jurnos
& then expects 45,000 to turn up to a final
& is shocked when only 31,000 turn up

is it that detached from reality it has no Idea even its own supporters are losing interest ?
the VFL is garbage in 2012
its plummetting finals crowds couldn't be a better indicator of this
& 2013 is gunna be a whole lot worse

Nope I was wrong.

[Striker]

Raid, they still beat us because the Sea Eagles fans wouldn't come out in proper numbers. If they did we would have pulled 35,000 plus and beat the AFL.

Doesn't matter. Manly's going no further!!

[Beaussie]

31K v 16k

Oh poor little NRL.

15K expected

Oh deary me. The NRL has major problems when come finals time, free public transport is offered along with cheap tickets and still the expectation is just 15k will bother to attend in so called RL heartland.

[Xman]

Round totals: NRL 52k for an average of 26k, AFL 96k for an average of 48k

Crows get close to sell out crowds most games and should get 45K to their game friday night.
Collingwood V WestCoast should get a crowd to the MCG numbering between 60-70K Swans should get about 50K
Hawks should get between 60-70k


GF

I love how manly cop a pasting from all the other NRL club fans yet none of these wankers would get off the couch and go to the game! 16k is still 16k from 4.8m. Shocking no matter which way you look at it!

As pookus said, a shocking weekend for the NRL. Smashed in crowds and TV ratings, plus other LOLs
