Fight Club - Football Crowds

[piesman2011]

36k in perth.

42k and 22k for the NRL.

yeah
just drop a lazy 1,100 off the NRL's attendances cockhead

Didnt check to well sorry about that. Hang on you do that all the time .

I'm thinking the crowd for the suns game will be significantly reduced as it is pissing down here. I'm thinking of not going and the anticipated fair weather follower who may have been going probably wouldn't go I would say . Will be a good indicator of die in the wool fans however ... I predict maybe 8-9 thousand maybe judging by the weather and there bring no parking at the ground making it hard to get to .... I can't see me walking 15 minutes in the rain to be honest to get there and sitting in the rain. If it were the pies playing however I would folk out the extra dough for undercover and get the bus.

so
the NRL SE Qld Derby on the Gold Coast attracts 23K

&

the VFL equivalent ... 9K
yep thats about where the 2 codes are in this region ATM

oh & we're always told rain doesn't deter VFL fans
or at the very least according to marcus ... only by a few K

I think that would be a relevant comparison if you wee comparing like with like rd ... But you are comparing the dominant code Nrl to a code trying to get a foot hold re crowd numbers. If suns were able to get same or near a nrl much they would be doing okay. They do alright though. And yes you are right , die hard AFL fans go rain hail or shine ... What we have with suns is people dipping their toe in so to speak so you're going to get all those type of people probably choosing another game to have a look at something they're still not sure or committed fans

Geez the AFL has been unlucky with rain in NSW and QLD recently.

[Stewie]

Hobart is packed!

[Rabbit]

Looks very poor for the midgets

[Xman]

Looks very poor for the midgets

What? Best crowd I've seen there

[Rabbit]

Really??

[Xman]

Really??

Definately, not too many spare seats. Imagine when they start actually winning some games

[Stewie]

Easily the best Giants crowd I've seen there.

[Stewie]

According to the BOM, there's been 34.4 mm of rain today. There's no doubt that that will be keeping thousands away.

[Stewie]

11,092, the biggest ever GWS crowd at Manuka =D> =D> =D>

Will they beat the arse Raiders? I think so, but no doubt there will be fudging in their crowd tonight.

[Drac]

Great crowd, great atmosphere, terrible, terrible match.

[Stewie]

Great crowd, great atmosphere, terrible, terrible match.

Give it a few years and they'll actually be playing good footy. Sell outs will be the norm there.

[Raiderdave]

Great crowd, great atmosphere, terrible, terrible match.

great atmosphere ??

I could hear the snoring from my place ... & I live in Belco ...

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

the Midgets are as hopless as they were last year
they are embarrasing & the more Canberrans who saw it ... live .. today the better

as they will not come back
there are better options around down here for your buck

the Raiders won another thriller tonight ..... the noise made when Edric Lee scored the winning try was as loud as I've heard at the venue , it could be heard at Dickson =D> =D> =D>

Raiders = Value
Midgets = Pooh



wow
