Yeah they're really laughing now 40 points later..Bullets wrote: Manly are laughing if they are coming to Melbourne to play at Eithad Stadium.
Won't we just get the same amount of people but at a much bigger stadium? with zero atmosphere?
So do I.Surandy wrote: Preliminary final in 2007 against the Eels drew a crowd of 33,427 so I definitely would expect more for our next final.
Actually the crowd was just under 22,000 and I thought it was a good turnout tbh.tugga wrote: I was very disappointed with the crowd. They were hoping for 30k, and I thought we would easily get 25k.
21k was poor.
Don't anyone kid themselves by saying we would have got more if there wasn't an AFL game on. Western Bulldogs and Brisbane Lions are pathetic clubs with regards to drawing crowds.
I guess it shows that next year, we can expect 18k-plus as an average crowd for a H&A game.
For what it's worth I thought the crowd made the noise of a 40K crowd. Atmoshpere doesn't automatically translate into crowd numbers.
21,155 was the listed crowd figure that I read.CooperCronk wrote:Actually the crowd was just under 22,000 and I thought it was a good turnout tbh.

Considering the afl crowd at the MCG only got 46,000 we have just about halved it...not bad for rugby league in Melb.
The crowd were awesome and it did feel like 40,000 at the game.
Cheaper tickets for kids could attract more people to our next game.
For what its worth, at work there were 2 unhappy doggies (afl style) supporters who would have attended our game, if the afl wasn't scheduled the same night.
I rang Ch.9 friday morning and they told me that the game was being shown at 11.00 pm so I taped it and ch.9 did the right thing and even had all the after match reports and went into the rooms, etc.tugga wrote:Fair enoug.CooperCronk wrote:Actually the crowd was just under 22,000 and I thought it was a good turnout tbh.tugga wrote: I was very disappointed with the crowd.

Did channel 9 televise the game live int he end? When I got home at 11.50pm it the telecast wwas at the 20 minute mark of the 1st half.
I think that would be up to the Storm to hand out some freebies...as the Doggies did for the El Masri game.Storm Spirit wrote: why wouldn't the NRL be down in the Melbourne CBD at 7.30pm on Friday night handing out freebies just to get people through the gate.
no revenue but bums on seats for TV and future converts are priceless ...or am i missing something ???
Do not agree with your comment, the Bulldogs & Lions have averaged over 30,000 attendance at home games this year alone so that's not pathetic at all. The official figure for their game is 47,030. Pretty small crowd for a final admittedly but they will always beat NRL figures.tugga wrote: I was very disappointed with the crowd. They were hoping for 30k, and I thought we would easily get 25k.
