No shit

@marcothejourno: Crowd at Suncorp Stadium is 22,941.

If this was pumped by a commercial mainstream station and had heaps of advertising you would think a 25-35% increase would happen which would make it a huge tournament

Speaking of crowds, was watching the Iran/Oman replay before. Turns out Iranian chicks are pretty quality

Good crowd in Brissy! I guess in a way everyone is just trying to get to Mecca, which is obviously Sydney.

Actually it was just blue text. Forgot about that convo

Iraq v Japan tonight-
Cat 1 selling in upper levels
Cat 3 single seats only
Japan Active single seats only (they opened a 2nd bay for this)

:)

Sarcasm to pre-oman conversation.

blue font :oops:

god your a miserable git. The home nation should have had a higher crowd, simple as that.

Sydney gets shit crowds tho - 10k max

I was just looking at some of the quarter final match ups in light of Iran needing to defeat UAE due to GD. We would most likely see Iran vs Japan at ANZ. My god, imagine the crowd for that.

False, atmosphere only exists at #notoanz when there is 60k there
But yes the Iran-Bahrain game at amy parks was amazing. So were their female fans

Stunning day in Melbourne, would expect 12-15k at tonight's game.

In Brisbane for the 3 games over 4 days. All should be a treat :)

Wiki tells me the attendance so far has been 225,321.

Hopefully the target in the OP gets smashed, especially with the finals coming up

$5 to see Kagawa, Honda etc? Fucking oath!

Japan Vs Jordan game PAX: 24,779

Going to be close to a sell-out at AAMI park.

PUMPED, hurry up stupid day.
LA for some pre game refreshments!

Japan vs Iraq now selling Cat A tickets in the second tier. 20k easy!

Agreed. Was infectious

was there last night and the noise was amazing, nearly outdone the socceroos v oman and yes was there for that one too

Yep, I think everyone that had a designated seat behind the goals moved towards the centre anway.

Last night was one of the funnest football atmospheres I've witnessed - it was so much freaking fun. Maybe SFS or Melbourne Rectangular (Amy Parks @ Melbourne Rectangluar amirite) would have been better for that crowd - but by no means was ANZ a bad option for that crowd last night. The place went off, and although there were heaps of seats you could barely notice it if you just listened to the crowd.

The crowds are thinner on the broadcast side in every match, opposite of what you normally get at a league match..

The crowds in Canberra have been respectable but not enough to justify a HA-L licence.



I dunno. There's a lot of Micks in Australia on working visas and such. The profile of cricket has been rising in Ireland in recent years. I mean it even gets a mention on the Second Captains podcast (well worth listening to).

Mind you cricket was mega-huge in Ireland 45 years ago when the Irish team skittled the West Indies touring team all out for 25. Just as with the GPO in 1916 there were 250,000 there that day in 1969. There was a TV camera there and film survives https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKN4vVm7Ffs

for some reason these small crowds in the asian cup look much better than what id expect to see for a 5k crowd. the sparsity looks nothing like what we have for fury or gcu games.

Thats how an HAL in Canberra would look every game

looked really good on tv. the sparse bowls behind the goals kills it for all but thats whats expected from the shitty view seats.

I was there, I'm not sure how it came across on TV but it did kick ass.

FFA would probably be thinking they will need a bloody good TV deal.

What, and have a semi final and final potentially involving Australia at Allianz? Crazy.
