Dwindling NRL Crowds - a major concern

[Xman]

40K up in Brisbane vs Storm........waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Don't be upset, you singlet wearers have made fools of yourselves the last week......................NRL crowds on the decline............yeah righto...

We won't be upset

but of course you are
wringing yr hands , stamping yr feet
you have been proven to be fools again with your ignorance re the NRL
you litterally know nothing

I told you
warned you that things would improve with crowds ... weeks ago I did
but no
you & your half witted mates assembeld for a circle jerk .... lube , tissues all at the ready

& F me
I was right .. again

& you look like an utter cockhead

again

yeah, you warned us about last weekend! what happened there?

But Dave, why all the excitement **** NRL fans? I thought crowds weren't important?

The truth is the NRL are busting for decent crowds, absolutely busting for them. Shame they come around so very infrequently, leaving Dave a very angry and frustrated little man.

you are in a tizz aren't ya

worried that a VFL game in Sydney today , that would have drawn 50K minimum a few years back even if the Swines weren't the premiers
will be lucky to get half that number in 2013


deflection will not work here
what is going on with the victorian game outside its heartland marcus

I have a word which may explain it


decline ..............

So RD prediction for today's GWS game is 25k. I think it will be closer to 40k with 35-40 a really good result. Lets see how it goes.

yes
& your last effort ?

the prelim final last year

80K you said
& it was 57K

but please by all means continue to make a cock of yourself

your own CEO ... Andy D yesterday I think , said he didn't think they'd get 30K based on ticket sales
I have info that he will be right

but lets wait & see
35K would be a pass mark
anything less then 30K deserves derision & ridicule & thats just what it will get

[Raiderdave]

lets have a ganda at NRL total attendances after 4 rounds since 2004 & examine if in fact they are a cause for major concern , or in fact
Bearsy is a complete fucking wanker

2004 ( 28 games ) 448,814
2005 (28 games ) 492,265
2006 (28 games ) 512,912
2007 (32 games ) 581,801
2008 (32 games) 601,020
2009 (32 games) 596,379
2010 (32 games) 573,179
2011 (32 games) 572,739
2012 (32 games) 539,480
** 2013 (27 games so far ) 510,399

anyone care to bet 2013 won't be the most attended season since 2004 after this round is complete ?

anyone ?

Wrong as usual Dave I predicted 50k after the forecast of rain ended up with 57k

This is just after the game.

I was close to the right figure I predicted 50K and the crowd was 57K not to bad a guess.

hmmmm
so
60K crowds a few years back .... lets say 25K swines members attending ( so already paid for a seat )
& another 5K to 7K stadium members also in free of charge

leaving 30K members of the general public

in 2013
we have ... 11K midgets members lets say 5K stadium members ....

leaving about 10K payers for todays game

where'd the other 20K go ?
I mean even if the swines members don't attend as its not a home game for them..... ova 20K people who were there just a few short years ago

have dissapeared

Cough** Decline ** Cough

[Raiderdave]

members I'd like to announce that myself and beaus sie sat at a pub and watched the bunnies v dogs today

what was that shirt lifter drinking .... a pineapple cruiser ?

The same thing applies to numerous teams! Why the decline in broncos crowds? Why the decline in warriors crowds?

60k home game for swans in 2007 (on the back of 2 GF performances) would be 25k swans members, 10k visiting away team like Collingwood, and 25 paying general public in Sydney.

The giants v swans will be 7k giants members, 3k giants general public, 20-25k swans general public.

Why the decline in broncos crowds? Why the decline in warriors crowds?

:

the Broncos averaged 33,400 last year & they had a pretty woeful year
their highest at the new suncorp is just 35,000

the warriors averaged 17K in 2012 .. their highest since 1996

seriously
do you know any fucking thing ?

The giants v swans will be 7k giants members, 3k giants general public, 20-25k swans general public.

so we had 50K swines members & general public in 2007
when they were a top side around 2006/2007
&
in 2013 they are again a top side .. hell , they're the best as they are the premiers
but we have just
20 to 25K swines & general public



again
the missing 25K to 30K from a few years back ........ where the fuck did they go ?

decline

[Xman]

Bit slow on the uptake Dave

The 25k swans members don't get access. Therefore 10k giants members and 20-25k swans general public will be expected just like last year. Go giants! =D>

[Xman]

Lol, it was the perfect storm of nothing to do anywhere and everything to do somewhere.

Good Friday, so shit was closed, f**k all to do. Was a beautiful day, plus the Easter Show had its traditionally busiest day.

an NRL fan posted the above on LU and its dead right. =D>

Expect the NRL crowds to return to their dreadful low from today onwards
