dunno booboo the crowds at the BBL looked pretty good, i reckon people still like it. And i love having a game every night for the whole summer.

I used to follow it. I think it's less interesting now because there's fewer kiwis, poms, saffas etc

Yeh I still look forward to it. Don't watch all of every game (well not many have time for that) but would have seen most of pretty much all Heat games. Some great cricket this year.

Yep bringing Heat games to the Gold Coast stadium has worked well, normally sells out 25,000 capacity.
Always good crowds at the Gabba.
The contracts are quite tasty for the BBL I know 3 players from my club are on good money at the Heat.
And another player is at the Tassie Hurricanes on good money.

Not as big as they used to be

booboo

And I think there's some strategic camera work to make the crowds look bigger (I.e., not selling seats in the upper tiers)

the grumpy old man thread is somewhere else mate

@mariner4life I thought my last two posts were somewhat measured.

mariner4life

while they may not be "as big as they used to be" they are still bloody good.

30 games, 19 with more than 20,000, six with more than 40k
Only 5 had less than 10k, and 4 of those were in Tassie

A quick squiz at the crowds for say BBL 5 sees them not significantly different except for the 1 game that got 80k. The final was a couple of thousand more, but Sydney v Melbourne at the 'G will pull more than Sydney v Brisbane in Sydney

Need to add a team from the north island and a team from the south island to make it a really intresting competition.
