PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Manly v Storm [Round 24, 2019]

[nightster]

Damn I'll be in the air on my way back from Thailand while the match is on

Surprisingly I’m still talking to my best mate who was with me on that day, he was ( is) an Eels supporter.
Funnily enough we are together now in WA for the return run home to Brisbane.

True love conquers all. Awww.

 

[Ralphie]

Wouldn’t 18500 look good??

I was there the day the ground record was broken v Parramatta about 1983 ( or 82) , not sure if the exact number but about 25000 or so ( maybe more).

Sadly we lost!!

I was there that day too.

 

[Sheikheagle]

Given the good crowds in recent games (last Thursday aside) and the big crowd expected for this game our average crowd this year should look a lot healthier against last season. Onwards and upwards.

 

[Eagles Nest 78]

27,655. Sunday 31 Aug 86.

We have had this discussion many times.

When we play Melb Storm on Sat 31 Aug 2019, it will be 33 years to the day that game vs Parra with the 27,655 crowd (31 Aug 1986) and exactly 5 years ago 31 Aug 2014 with the 18,654 crowd vs Penrith all at Brookie.

Per Ticketmaster only 21 single reserve seats left game vs Storm.
People will have to buy the General Admission tickets now (& ideally in advance).

I am sorry but I don't like this thread. I feel we are getting ahead of ourselves.

FOCUS ON RAIDERS,

Should be a monster crowd!!

Anyone think Storm will rest a LOT of players.

If I was coach I would.

I doubt it. I thought this week would be a much better idea - versing the team coming last before a big game against us in round 24. So if he didn’t rest them for the titans, I doubt he will rest any for us

I'll order you one with lunch .... just checking the menu

 

[Ian Martin tragic]

I sense a bit of battle of Brooky in the air with this one.

You could at least turn your hat around so it can enjoy the view! sheesh

 

[Captain Moondog]

With the same end result hopefully, an 18-4 win and someone punching Adam Blair in the head ( perhaps one of our fans over in NZ can help with the Blair bit)

 

[globaleagle]

Phone the storm, agree to rest everyone, play out a draw.

 

[Luke_m]

Forecast is showing showers really hope it clears up we could get a sell out and the atmosphere will be amazing !!

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

I don't think showers will keep too many away from this one (says me with seats undercover!)
