Drags v Eels drew 6k in the Gong a few rounds ago - no crisis 
But a free Beer Festival crowd at Henson Park is fair comparison to a Saturday at Brookie

Why not have a free beer festival at brookie? Good way to get more people through the gatesDrags v Eels drew 6k in the Gong a few rounds ago - no crisis

And yet nothing was said when Souffs and Doesn't-matta....with supposedly two of the biggest fan bases in Sydney.....drew only 8,047 to their Thursday night game at ANZ in Rd.15.
Now I know the Worms are playing like crap which will affect their numbers, and it was a Thursday night, but Souffs were in the middle of their winning streak and their fans generally crawl out of the gutters in good numbers when they are winning. And ANZ is the current home ground for both teams....the super stadium.
Yet nothing was said about that lack of attendance.
When you look at it, attendances are pretty much down across the board this year. Its not just a Manly thing. But as usual its us that is being attacked.

I found this comment on reddit from an eels fan, thought it was a pretty neat reflection of things currently:
"Manly has a winning culture and their fans don't tolerate losers. To me, not going to games sends a message to the board to cut the ****. You watch, sweeping change will happen in the off season for manly and they will be contenders again next year. Meanwhile eels will do **** all and fail again next year."

Have we taken the Doggies game away from Brookie ?
Thought I read somewhere that were re-renaming Brookie from Lottoland to McGrath Foundation Stadium, so it's actually a home game.
We should just do a Prince and call it "symbol".......the ground formerly known as Brookvale.

Exactly, Souths and Parramatta have approx. 50,000 members between them. Where are they all? Or don't they allow pets into football stadiums?
Women in league round, lottoland given up the day it’s naming rights for the day to support the McGrath breast cancer foundation ..we as a club are supporting this cause by doing this
Problem with that is...once I've finished all my free beer, I won't be able to drive my new car home!
Otherwise, a fine plan.

Zorba will take the leftovers home
Couldn't believe the crowd was supposedly only 10,000 today. Again looked way more, as usual, and the hill was packed. As I've said before, me thinks the counters can't count! 
In any case, it was great to hear and be a part of all the Manly chanting and cheer on the boys

I thought 12,000 or 13,000 at least.

Looked a lot more on television.
Didn't anyone with a defence card or badge get free entry? Maybe they weren't counted.
Good point - you could be right.

I thought they would post 13,000 and that would be conservative...
