I went on Monday night with my wife and four daughters and sat in the Ken Arthurson stand. I haven't been to Brookie since 1993 after regularly going there in the late 70s and early 80s (I live on the mid-north coast and work weekends). It may be tired and tatty but it has great atmosphere. We loved watching the eagles play at home. I think league misses something when it is played at sparsely populated big stadiums such as ANZ and the SFS (though they are great when full). Brookvale and such places as Leichardt Oval should be set aside for traditional times - say Saturday (would be nice to have a 3pm start) and Sunday afternoon matches. Having said that we wall had a great time on Monday night even though we didn't win. Hope to be back soon.
