Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3081991, member: 9052"] Thought it might be interesting to take a look at some of the events that occurred in association with those crowd numbers including staging of TV rights deals (introduction of 2x Friday games, Thursday games, end of Monday games, etc.)... from what I can piece together anyway: [LIST] [*][B]2004[/B]: 28,667 [*][B]2005[/B]: 30,331 [*][B]2006[/B]: 31,208 - Premiership year [*][B]2007[/B]: 32,868 - Post premiership... start of two Friday night games aka every home game basically Friday night [*][B]2008[/B]: 33,426 - Successful season and should've been a premiership. [*][B]2009[/B]: 34,587 - first year post Bennett [*][B]2010[/B]: 35,032 - first year missed finals [*][B]2011[/B]: 33,209 - Lockyer retirement year [*][B]2012[/B]: 33,337 [*][B]2013[/B]: 30,480 - start of new TV deal (ch 9 with 2x Friday games and Sunday game... only 3 Thursday games league wide throughout the year) - poor year on the field [*][B]2014[/B]: 34,235 [*][B]2015[/B]: 36,096 - GF year [*][B]2016[/B]: 34,476 - last year of Monday footy... start of Thursday footy - post GF year and high expectations (bris considered favourites) [*][B]2017[/B]: 31,929 - start of early Friday game... ch 9 with Thurs & Fri [*][B]2018[/B]: 31,394 [*][B]2019[/B]: 29,516 [/LIST] There was a significant drop in the 2nd year of Thursday footy, I suspect we started getting hit hard with Thursday from this point on.... the first year ch 9 probably used Thursday for Sydney derby's knowing Broncos rate well on Fridays. For the last few years I have noticed how many Thursday games we get being a ticket member... haven't looked into it though. I think the introduction of Thursday games is an important factor when you consider each game as 8.33% of your home games for the year, let's say you get 3x Thursday home games, that represents 25% of your home games for the year. I think that is significant if the crowd for each of them is potentially 10k short of what you anticipate. [/QUOTE]
