A League 2010/11 Crowd Figures

[Go GWS!]

Glorious weather here in Melbourne. Hopefully the Heart get 7k+ today

7034... just made it.

Weather wasnt great before KO, some really dark clouds. I went to the match and the south end was packed. Good to see.

 

[footycool]

Melbourne Heart FC/Adelaide United FC Crowd: 8976 Actual: 6,538
Newcastle Jets FC/Wellington Phoenix FC Crowd: 9211 Actual: 12,147
Brisbane Roar FC/North Queensland Fury Crowd: 16,542
Sydney FC/Perth Glory FC Crowd: 8743
Central Coast Mariners FC/Gold Coast United Crowd: 8766

Thats would mean the average for the round is 10,447 which wouldnt be bad. Big expectations on Brisbane but i think they may be able to do it. I fancy a good crowd for CCM as they havnt been at Blutetongue for months and they are playing well at the moment. Heart should do well tonight, hopefully they exceed my expectation and get over 9k.

 

[themightybloods]

only 6538 there at the heart vs adelaide game tonight

 

[footycool]

Not great i must say

Looked a bit light on.

 

[Roos4eva]

Honestly, how was there 500 people less at a Friday night game than on a Sunday night?

Shyte effort.

 

[Roos4eva]

12k in Newcastle.

And to think this team was at the lowest of lows just recently.

 

[footycool]

12,147 tonight at Newcastle. Great effort

 

[TigersBoy]

Hopefully another big crowd at Suncorp tonight with Brisbane v Fury

 

[footycool]

Im tipping 15-16k there tonight.

 

[TigersBoy]

Shocking crowd in Brisbane

 

[bomber83]

Does anyone know what the break even crowd number for most clubs is? Seems as though the crowd numbers are lower than I wouldve expected, are any of these clubs even making a profit?

Given the improvement of quality in Australian soccer, I wouldve thought there would be more interest..

10,000 in brissy, woulda expected a bit more but nth qld isn't a big crowd puller at the best of times

Melbourne Victorys break even at Etihad was 12,000 (Hence the AFL uproar) orginaly and then was changed to a fixed money amount returned to the club after each game which is still till this date. At AAMI we have the same contract of a fixed amount which the Heart wanted the same deal but failed to get it.

Brisbane need 10,000 ish.
Adelaide is a very small number.

 

[Dimenhydrinate]

12k in Newcastle. Good work from them.

Shocking crowd in Brisbane

10k? That's fine.

I know alot of soccer fans who say they don't go to the soccer because the quality is low, this is a load of rubbish, the soccer is actually alright, I think that soccer needs to make a few rule changes (no offside) and get a few more international players and gradually the crowds will grow to a respectable number

No.

and now... we have to resolve the issue with gold coast united...

right now, it seems like a scenario where you plug one hole. another one opens

 

[TigersBoy]

Gold Coast are the Richest club in the league as you go by owner., yet they are the first to complain about spending money to get it right........ thats what is killing them and the A-League. Keep the Fury and take back the Gold Coast License. The problem wont be fixed till Palmer opens his wallet like Mr Tinckler. To get the crowds back you need to be up to spending

 

[kagij]

lol @ no offside. That would make the sport so much more boring, while significantly reducing the quality and skill.

 

[LiverpoolRed]

Its amazing how the Titans can get over 26k to games in a 27.4k stadium (Skilled Park) for a 4 year old club that has gone 12th, 13th, 3rd, 4th. Even in their 1st season Titans had the second-highest average attendance of all NRL clubs for 2007 (at a 25k stadium).

Yet there is 0 demand for A-League.

take your piss-taking elsewhere troll.

 

[Puddy]

^^ no troll mate, just an honest opinion

 

[TigersBoy]

Agree......

Go watch a Under 10's game with no offsides. You put the tallest player next to the oppisit goalie and its boring to watch. Long ball bang goal over and over again.
