Well I'm doing my bit, bringing three rugby league 'Virgins' on friday.

Think 15,000 is a bit high so will go for 12,325 approx!!!

Most people who would actually think of coming to a game will be sitting at home watching - they don't have to pay entry and they don't have the hassle of getting home........
Again, I HOPE I'm wrong............we'll see tho
Way to put a dampener on the season opener.

Should be a cracking crowd - and I think anything over 13K should be just fine. Season opener. No AFL. Last years' grand finalists. Benji marshall going up against Inglis. All looks good from my perspective.

Won't be a dampener at the end................

I just seriously can't see a huge crowd

I'd be happy for everyone to say 'we told you so!!!'

yeah but we could also still be riding the Origin high, that was an almost sell out ok it might have been mostly people from up north but at least if as pommy storm put it rugby league virgins came to the Origin and saw our great game and then came to the rest of the season they could return Friday night.

oh dear... *sigh*

I'd expect something around 12,500 - 14,000 for this one. First game of the season, Friday night, on the back of a good 2006 season and grand final appearance... Fingers crossed for more tho.

unfortunately, i think regardless of how many people we get, the sydney mobs will still deathride us as not getting a big enough crowd, makeing comparisons to the 'other' grand finalists getting a 50k crowd, why can melbourne only get 15k?

Last night on the radio some1 from the club said they were hoping for 16,000 but with it being live against the gate and all the other sport going on this weekend i think 14,000 is more realistic

I'm wondering what the clubs thoughts are on this... i was thinking about that today... they would probably be happy to get 10,000 knowing they could be getting so many more watching on TV...

Maybe if we all bought an extra ticket it would be a sellout.................

Maybe 11,000 but then that depends on who is counting at the gate.

I think with the GP on, game live on TV and general lack of knowledge
of when our games are on, numbers will be low for the first few games.

But hey would love it to be a sell out though.

Posted: **Wed Mar 14, 2007 11:08 pm**

with the fact it's live on tv we have to compare the possible crowd numbers to that of the home final last year.

Posted: **Wed Mar 14, 2007 11:53 pm**

In the herald sun it says tickets sales are up 20% on the correpsonding game last year

Posted: **Wed Mar 14, 2007 11:56 pm**

that's good news, what was the crowd figure last year?

Storm's first home game last year wasn't until Round 7 against Newcastle and our official crowd was 9,084.

I don't know whether it meant up on the first home game last year or the game agains tthe Tigers last year. Our crowd against the Tigers last year was about 12,500 I think so if we're 20% up on that its a great sign

yeah, well I know of at least 1 but most likely 3 or 4 who weren't coming but now are... my plans changed and I'm back at the graveyard for the first time since 05
