7572? are we serious?

7572!
that was the crowd attendance for the grand final rematch, Parramatta vs Storm! lowest of the round, and one of the lowest of the year!
im sure i dont need to set everything up for you and tell you why we wanted and needed to win this match!
you can whinge about the weather all you like but nothing was going to stop me going to the game and yelling abuse at the storm players! ( plus it didnt even rain )
i thought parra had the die hard fans who would do anything for the club!
for a match that we played outstanding in, this was the fans time to step up and be counted for and let the mexican bastards that that trophy DOES belong to us!
a pat on the back for the 7572 fans who did go, we witnessed the game of year!

  • Apologies, I'm in New York. I did get up at 5:30am to watch it online.

    Gave my ticket to a mate to take his brother or sister, but his partner just had a baby, so I think both of our seats were empty.
  • The really worrying thing to consider is what would the crowd have been if they have made it the 7:30 game. I'm sure the fact that it was the second game, would have convinced some to brave the weather.

    I think what it reflects is that we get a lot of families to the game. There were hardly any kids around compared to other matches, which you would put down to a combination of the weather and the perception that there might be trouble. When you consider family groups on average would account for 4 people, your crowd figures start to diminish pretty quickly when you take them out of the equation.

    I actually think its a bit of an issue for the club that we've have and will continue to have a massive run on non-family friendly times. Round 2 has so far been the only Sunday afternoon game at Parra Stadium (Souths was Sun avo I think but at ANZ) and the next best we get between then and Round 21, which is where they're yet to assign times to is the upcoming 5:30 game against Brisbane.

    So if you bought a family membership ticket this season, expecting to enjoy four or five Sunday avo games, you're going to come to the end of season being pretty disappointed. I think its something Ozzy and the administration needs to be aware of and to do what they can with the NRL to get an even share of matches.
    • It sounded like there was 15,000 on Friday night!
      If we had 15,000 at the game, we would of sounded like 30,000!
      Slater's a wanker!
    • I agree 1000000000%!! I have a daughter who is not yet two and we don't want to take her out to the night games which in turn means my wife misses out on going. We made sure we found a babysitter for last Friday night though. But I think something needs to be put in place that all teams get games at all the different times. I know it is bringing money in to the club but please no more going to ANZ!! Once that deal expires 12 home games at Parra please.
  • Rain is a massive turn off for a lot of people. Driving to the game from Newcastle, the Freeway was terrible, the rain was hammering down so hard I could hardly see a meter infront of me. The whole time I was driving down I was thinking, I'm gonna get soaked in the Northern Terrace. I had the wet weather gear but I know a lot of people wouldn't be willing to get soaked to watch a game of footy when they can watch it at home and stay warm and dry. Luckily for me but unluckily for those who didn't show up, It didn't rain at all from 7pm onwards. If only the rain had stopped at say 3pm, The crowd would have been much better.
