Good on the club taking people's feedback on board. No excuses for a crowd under 15,000 you'd think.

HE Wests Tigers have listened to the concerns that stopped Campbelltown people turning up to the first local NRL match this year and have acted to rectify them.

After only 9715 watched the Tigers beat Penrith in round two, the club hopes a lot more will be at Campbelltown Stadium on Saturday night for the big clash against the Brisbane Broncos.

"With the Advertiser's help we got a lot of feedback about why people didn't turn up," Tigers chief executive Stephen Humphreys said on Tuesday.

"Our earlier match had a disappointing crowd and we have taken on board the feedback and tried to understand it to get a better response for this game."

Three main reasons stood out — ticket prices, the promotion of the game and the engagement with the local community.

"We have particularly topped our efforts in those areas," Humphreys said.

"Ticket prices are cheaper — $20 for adults for a reserved seat and $50 for a family.

"We've been promoting the game a lot locally and in mainstream press.

"And the players have been very busy in the local community already and will be for the rest of the build-up."

On Monday, the club held a junior league clinic in Camden, on Tuesday the squad trained at Bradbury Pools and players attended a lunch with local businesses at Wests leagues Club.

On Friday, the team will train at Campbelltown Stadium and superstars Benji Marshall, Keith Galloway and Lote Tuqiri will meet fans at Macarthur Square.

With the Tigers v Broncos the only game in Sydney on Saturday night, the weather forecast clear and the Broncos having not played in Campbelltown since 2009, all signs point to a large crowd.

"By addressing the issues we hope that will lead to people coming out and supporting us," Humphreys said.
 
Good placement of the chance to meet i think with benj and a few others on friday. But might have been better if someone like farah came too who is gonna play sunday?

pricing very good too, i hope they more than break even…
 
I congratulate the effort. Unfortunately given our results so far and the injuries I just cant see this one drawing any sort of decent crowd.
 
Hope the supporters get out ther and watch it. Unfortuantley, even though thise prices are pretty good, the TV coverage these days is rellt good, except Ray Hadley disecting the game as if it is on the Radio, not the TV. Hope the game draws a big crowd and a great night had by all, win or lose.
 
I hope the crowd is good too -although I won't be going as Campbelltown is too far and well not somewhere I'd go ( no offence just it isn't). The problem becomes what if they still can't draw a crowd -low prices, lots of promotion and community events on a sat night where it isn't live on free to air. If they still get 10k then some consideration might need to be given to moving games away from Campbelltown perhaps to ANZ ? This would allow them to still attract fans from Campbelltown and also attract more of the inner west supporters -this isn't about the joint venture as I live just near wests Ashfield so it's just a question of what do we do if the crowd still doesn't turn up
 
There should be a decent crwod there regardless of how the Tigers are travelling. Parra sucked last season, got some decent crowds so far this season. With all the promotions and presence in the area, there is no excuse for 13k+ crowd. If the Tigers get up and win this it will be one of their all time great victories. Injuries to key players and the like, the crowd will get to see some of the guys that will be taking us into the future. Not too mention beating the Broncos is always sweet!
 
Credit to the club for making swift changes to the ticketing for this game. I assume it continues over other Campbelltown games. Pricing was the common theme after the first game and the prices here. Bottom line is you have to make yourself an attractive proposition to your market. You have to make it hard to turn down the opportunity to attend for the locals and the work done this week has been encouraging.

No offense? Are you to good for the place? Sounds like the fresh air might do you good you pretend supporter.Serious :crazy
 
By the way I only came on this thread to congratulate the club on its great efforts to promote the game at CSS.Was fortunate enough to take my kids to Macatur. The importance of both home games at LO and CSS shouldn't be ignored.Great crowds make for fantastic games

You wouldn't have a good view at Campbelltown anyway with your head stuck so far up your ass. Right next to the silver spoon i guess.

Tried to give you a rep point for that must of run out lol. You are exactly right :wink: :laughing:
 
It's not somewhere I'd go and just so we are clear here is why
-it's a long way
-it's a long way back and therefore I would probably drive but I like to have a few beers at the footy so this means either no beer or a very long train ride both ways
- none of the people I go to the footy with go either so again not somewhere I'd be likely to go
-the club sells memberships for just the 8 games at Leichhardt and SFS so I'm clearly not the only one
-having been before I didn't much enjoy the atmosphere
- and yep I don't much like the area -as I said I'm sure others do and good for them I don't -no silver spoon, no head up my arse just and not any particular reason really I just don't luckily this is a free country.
- I'm happy for games to be their I would prefer ANZ personally

You know what the reality is these are the reasons many people don't go -we all know bugger all old balmain supporters go to games at Campbelltown and either do many away supporters .with only 9000 people at the last game it seems most people in Campbelltown don't even like going to games their

This is the reality and for a club looking for more fans an issue it faces in drawing crowds.
 
Then go to ANZ you pussy cat. I go where my team goes. By the way last year I went to Ashfield leagues club to watch the Titans game.I parked my car on the street and had the window smashed for small change. No one speaks English there and you have the hide please…..... My cars never been touched in Campbelltown and my journey is longer than yours .Love to go where my team goes watch it on TV and stop pretending on this Forum. Full blooded West Tigers supporters only please. Past your bed time
 
Gee tough crowd here.Very sensitive.

Anyway you have to love what the club has done.They have listened and acted upon it…...no excuses tonight,playing a top shelf club we hate,good prices,heaps of players out there promoting it.

Im expecting at least 15k fingers crossed.
 
There will be 4 of us travelling from Leichhardt tonight (3rd time this year). Looking forward to seeing what our new halves pairing can do and hoping for a big game from Teddy.

Just wishing we only had to pay $20 a game for our Silver member's package for LO, what a bargain.
