I was pleasantly surprised to see the crowd figure for Friday night back to "normal." 16500 from memory. So we have: - new players and coach - positive press again - Matai and Kapow avoiding facing the judiciary - great surface at Brookvale - no sign of the Brooky hobo - AND they've started counting the missing turnstile in the crowd figures again It's like 2015 was cursed or something. ...but seriously, I was honestly impressed to see a good house at Brooky.
Round 1, playing the Dogs and an 8.05 start. 16 500 seemed to be on par with the factors that had been stacked in our favour
Our home crowd was more than competitive, here are the others in Round 1 Roosters 25,100 (obviously in effect a home game for Souths too) Eels 17,300 Manly 16,500 Cowboys 15,500 Storm 12,100 Canberra 11,200 Tigers 10,900 Titans 8,300
Sure but after the team comes out and blitzes the Tigers this week our next Sunday afternoon crowd will be huge. Although.. I just looked it up and we don't get a Sunday Arvo till Round 14.
Yes. Pretty good crowd but still comfortable on the Hill. It's a far cry, though, from the halcyon days on the 1970's when we had crowds of 25,000-plus.
