Question:

Why do New Zealand super 14 teams get such poor attendances??

by | earlier

Since New Zealand is the most rugby fanatical country in the world?? It doesn't make sense that attendances are so low at matches...

The Cake Tin always has good crowds. Apart from that maybe if Aunty Helen's government stopped taxing us so much we could afford to go to more games.

The crowds are smaller in Australia

2 Reasons.

1. Too many night games.  There use to be a time when we had 2.30pm kick offs now, most NZ games are at 7.35pm because SANZA want the TV audience from SA to be watching.  Big bloody deal, it's on OUR ground not SA or Europe.

2. It starts in Febuary. Febuary!! It's bloody summer and cricket is still on.  Start the Super 14 at least at the end of March.

Beats the h**l out of me how some people become CEOs

In all honesty, beczuse the AB's lost the world cup and people tried to forget it for a while.

We were very dissapointed after that loss (and because of our woeful game in the quarter final), and people just could not be bothered for a while.

I thought the Crusaders draw in great crowds,well from the telly over here in Australia it looks packed..haha..or was digitly mastered like in China with the fireworks..lol..jks.

I went and watched my little brother play in the S-14 for the Queensland Reds and it was against the Crusaders,now im a southislander born and breed and so is my brother but **** you would think you were in Chch as there was more Crusader fanz in Brisbane than there was Reds fans-seriously!!..lol-but that was just my observation..haha.

It coud be cost of the tickets?? over here in brissy your looking at about 20-30 bucks but then all the junior players (kids) are free.

Then again it might be the fact the ABS bombed out in the world cup and fans are tired of it-i know i was sick of getting mocked for weeks at work about the All Blacks loosing yet again..lol,but just call me Loyal..hahaha
